Consensus Reaching With Minimum Cost of Informed Individuals and Time Constraints in Large-Scale Group Decision-Making
2022
Consensus reaching process (CRP) is important and present in a wide range of application areas. In practical CRP, the managers (e.g., enterprise) often hire some informed individuals (e.g., persuaders) to promote the efficiency of consensus reaching. This article proposes a CRP with minimum cost of informed individuals and time constraint in large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) with bounded confidence effects. The consensus model with bounded confidence effects (CBC model) is formulated. Then, desirable properties of the CBC model are discussed to facilitate its resolution. Next, an extended particle swarm optimization algorithm is designed to solve the CBC model. Finally, a numerical analysis, a comparison analysis, and a simulation analysis are provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
