Abstract
By combining picture fuzzy set and 2-tuple linguistic representation model, Wei et al. (Soft Comput 22(3):989–1002, 2018) proposed the concept of picture 2-tuple linguistic set and presented some operational laws of picture 2-tuple linguistic numbers (P2TLNs). On the basis of operational laws of P2TLNs, some picture 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators have been further developed. However, some operational laws and results derived by aggregation operators proposed by Wei et al. (Soft Comput 22(3):989–1002, 2018) are conflict with definition of picture 2-tuple linguistic number (P2TLN). In this short note, we propose some novel operational laws of P2TLNs and develop one adjusted picture 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operator, i.e., the adjusted picture 2-tuple linguistic weighted averaging operator.
