Dear Expertise,
I have a facing a problem in the "combination of the D numbers." The example provided in a paper entitled "Environmental impact assessment based on D numbers" by Deng are given below. Can anyone give the solution of the provided example with proper steps ?
Thanks in advance
Example 4 (Deng et al. 2014)
D1 = {(0,0.7), (1,0.3)}
D2= {(0,0.6), (1,0.4)}
The combination of D1 and D2 using the above equations
D= {(0.0,0.325), (0.5,0.50), (1,0.175)}
My questions are:
1. How we come with three elements in the combination of two D numbers?
2. Please explain the steps of combination using this example
