We investigate the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem concerns on the selection of shale gas areas with interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information. First, some Hamacher operations of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information are introduced, which generalize and extend the existing ones. Then some interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher weighted aggregation operators, especially, the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher synergetic weighted averaging (IVHFHSWA) operators and their geometric version (IVHFHSWG) operators that weight simultaneously the argument variables themselves and their position orders and thus generalize the ideas of the weighted averaging and the ordered weighted averaging, are proposed. The distinct advantages of these operators are that they can provide more choices for the decision makers and considerably enhance or deteriorate the performance of aggregation. The essential properties of these operators are studied and their specific cases are discussed. Based on the IVHFHSWA operator, we propose a practical approach to shale gas areas selection with interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information. Finally, an illustrative example for selecting the shale gas areas is used to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach and a comparative analysis is performed with other approaches to highlight the distinctive advantages of the proposed operators.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the notion of Einstein aggregation operators, such as the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging aggregation operator and the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging aggregation operator. We also discuss some desirable properties, such as idempotency, boundedness, commutativity, and monotonicity. The main advantage of using the proposed operators is that these operators give a more complete view of the problem to the decision makers. These operators provide more accurate and precise results as compared the existing method. Finally, we apply these operators to deal with multiple-attribute group decision making under interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information. For this, we construct an algorithm for multiple-attribute group decision making. Lastly, we also construct a numerical example for multiple-attribute group decision making.

Under the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information environment, we investigate a multiattribute group decision making (MAGDM) method with continuous entropy weights and improved Hamacher information aggregation operators. Firstly, we introduce the axiomatic definition of entropy for interval-valued hesitant fuzzy elements (IVHFEs) and construct a continuous entropy formula on the basis of the continuous ordered weighted averaging (COWA) operator. Then, based on the Hamachert-norm andt-conorm, the adjusted operational laws for IVHFEs are defined. In order to aggregate interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information, some new improved interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher aggregation operators are investigated, including the improved interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted averaging (I-IVHFHOWA) operator and the improved interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted geometric (I-IVHFHOWG) operator, the desirable properties of which are discussed. In addition, the relationship among these proposed operators is analyzed in detail. Applying the continuous entropy and the proposed operators, an approach to MAGDM is developed. Finally, a numerical example for emergency operating center (EOC) selection is provided, and comparative analyses with existing methods are performed to demonstrate that the proposed approach is both valid and practical to deal with group decision making problems.

An m-polar fuzzy set is a powerful mathematical model to analyze multipolar, multiattribute, and multi-index data. The m-polar fuzzy sets have appeared as a useful tool to portray uncertainty in multiattribute decision making. The purpose of this article is to analyze the aggregation operators under the m-polar fuzzy environment with the help of Dombi norm operations. In this article, we develop some averaging and geometric aggregation operators using Dombi t-norm and t-conorm to handle uncertainty in m-polar fuzzy (mF, henceforth) information, which are mF Dombi weighted averaging (mFDWA) operator, mF Dombi ordered weighted averaging (mFDOWA) operator, mF Dombi hybrid averaging (mFDHA) operator, mF Dombi weighted geometric (mFDWG) operator, mF Dombi weighted ordered geometric operator, and mF Dombi hybrid geometric (mFDHG) operator. We investigate properties, namely, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness, for the proposed operators. Moreover, we give an algorithm to solve multicriteria decision-making issues which involve mF information with mFDWA and mFDWG operators. To prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed model, we solve two numerical examples with our proposed models and give comparison with mF-ELECTRE-I approach (Akram et al. 2019) and mF Hamacher aggregation operators (Waseem et al. 2019). Finally, we check the effectiveness of the developed operators by a validity test.

OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging) aggregation operators have been extensively adopted to handle MCDM (multiple criteria decision making) problems. However, additive or multiplicative preferences should be aggregated with feasible operators. To resolve this problem, this study proposes a new MCDM aggregation model, capable of handling situational group MCDM problems based on the ME-OWA (maximal entropy ordered weighted averaging) and ME-OWGA (maximal entropy ordered weighted geometric averaging) operators. The proposed model is also applied not only to evaluate the service quality of airlines but also select the most appropriate desalination technology. The results of previous MCDM methods can be covered with proposed model.

Aggregation operators play a key role in multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM). Extensions of aggregation operators to intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) usually involve replacing the standard arithmetic operations with those defined over the membership and nonmembership of IFS, which is essentially a pair of special Archimedean triangular norm (t-norm) and triangular conorm (t-conorm), called probabilistic sum t-conorm and product t-norm, on the membership and nonmembership of IFS, respectively. In this paper, we first introduce some operations on IFSs by means of Archimedean t-norm and t-conorm. Then some generalized Archimedean intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are proposed, such as generalized Archimedean intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging operator, generalized Archimedean intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (GAIFOWA) operator, and generalized Archimedean intuitionistic fuzzy hybird averaging operator. Some desirable properties of these operators are investigated. The relations between these operators and the existing intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are discussed. Finally, applying these proposed operators, we develop an approach for multi-criteria decision-making with intuitionistic fuzzy information, an illustrative example is used to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Based on the probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information aggregation operators, this paper investigates a novel multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) model to address the serious loss of information in a hesitant fuzzy information environment. Firstly, the definition of probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set will be introduced, and then, using Archimedean norm, some new probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy operations are defined. Secondly, based on these operations, the generalized probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (GPIVHFOWA) operator, and the generalized probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (GPIVHFOWG) operator are proposed, and their desirable properties are discussed. We further study their common forms and analyze the relationship among these proposed operators. Finally, a new probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy MAGDM model is constructed, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model are verified by using an example of supplier selection.

Complex Pythagorean fuzzy (CPF), a worthwhile generalization of Pythagorean fuzzy set, is a powerful tool to deal with two-dimensional or periodic information. In this paper, we develop two prioritized aggregation operators (AOs) under CPF environment, namely, complex Pythagorean fuzzy prioritized weighted averaging (CPFPWA) operator and complex Pythagorean fuzzy prioritized weighted geometric (CPFPWG) operator. We consider the prioritization relationship among criteria and decision makers (DMs) to make our result more accurate as in real decision making (DM) problems, the criteria and DMs have different priority level. Further, we discuss remarkable properties of our proposed AOs. Moreover, we promote the evolution of MCDM problem by investigating an algorithm in CPF environment with its flow chart. Finally, to check the superiority and validity of proposed operators, we compare the computed results with the different existing techniques.

In the age of the information-based economy and the rapid advancements of data schemes, business management has been faced with extraordinary difficulties and has entered into a reasonable period where the board’s conventional enterprise execution assessment centers around the interests of investors. Speculators accept money-related information as their basis and focus on the investigation of material fascination, and in the event of the off chance that they do not, they cannot confirm the next economy period. In this way, enterprise execution reflects the interests of investors and business strategists for the needs of partners, which is significant for the forthcoming rivalry. Given that, the collection of data is a significant research tool that has lately been considered by researchers for data examination. In this paper, we have established multi-criteria decision-making methods for the assessment of business execution with spherical fuzzy information. We have applied Hamacher aggregation operators such as the spherical cubic fuzzy Hamacher weighted averaging (SCFHWA) operator, the spherical cubic fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted averaging (SCFHOWA) operator, the spherical cubic fuzzy Hamacher hybrid averaging (SCFHHA) operator, the spherical cubic fuzzy Hamacher weighted geometric (SCFHWG) operator, the spherical cubic fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted geometric (SCFHOWG) operator, and the spherical cubic fuzzy Hamacher hybrid geometric (SCFHHG) operator for the appraisal of the best choice of enterprise. We ultimately defend the proposed approach with the existing strategies for possibility and adequacy.

For the sake of better handle the imprecise and uncertain information in decision making problems(DMPs), linguistic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers(LIVIFNs) based aggregation operators (AOS) are proposed by combining extended Copulas (ECs), extended Co-copulas (ECCs), power average operator and linguistic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information (LIVIFI). First of all, ECs and ECCs, some specifics of ECs and ECCs, score and accuracy functions of LIVIFNs are gained. Then, based on ECs and ECCs, several aggregation operators are proposed to aggregate LIVIFI, which can offer decision makers (DMs) desirable generality and flexibility. In addition, the desired properties of proposed AOS are discussed. Last but not least, a MAGDM approach is constructed based on proposed AOs; Consequently, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by a numerical example, and then the advantages are showed by comparing with other approaches.

We investigate multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with arguments taking the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In order to relieve influence of unfair arguments, a Gaussian distribution-based argument-dependent weighting method and a hybrid support-function-based argument-dependent weighting method are devised by, respectively, measuring support degrees of arguments indirectly and directly, based on which the Gaussian generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging operator (Gaussian-GIIFOWA) and geometric operator (Gaussian-GIIFOWG), the power generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (P-GIIFOWA) operator and geometric (P-GIIFOWA) operator are proposed to generalize a wide range of aggregation operators for decision makers to flexibly choose in decision modelling. And some desirable properties of the proposed operators are also analyzed. Further, application of an approach integrating proposed operators to exploitation investment evaluation of tourist spots has shown the effectiveness and practicality of developed methods; experimental results also verify the properties of proposed operators.
