BWM-ZNUMBER-GAME

BWM-ZNUMBER-GAME (BWM + Z-number + Zero-Sum Game — Best Worst Method weighting with Z-number payoff matrix and game-theoretic ranking) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Adesina, K.A.; Yazdi, M.; Omidvar, M. (hybrid); Rezaei, J. 2015 (BWM); Zadeh, L.A. 2011 (Z-numbers); von Neumann 1928 + Nash 1950 (zero-sum game / Nash equilibrium) in 2022. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.
