Notes on “Possibilistic programming approach for fuzzy multidimensional analysis of preference in group decision making”

•A new approach is proposed for heterogeneous MAGDM with fuzzy truth degrees.•A new method is developed for the derived fuzzy programming models with TrFNs.•New fuzzy programming models with TrFNS are derived to estimate weights and PIS.•A new goal programming method is developed to rank alternatives for groups.

The aim of this note is to point out and correct some errors in the definitions, notations operations and possibilistic programming model introduced by Sadi-Nezhad and Akhtari (2008) and hereby develop two correct possibilistic programming models for fuzzy multidimensional analysis of preference in the fuzzy multiattribute group decision making problems with both the fuzzy weight vector and the fuzzy positive ideal solution (PIS) unknown a priori.
