The purpose of this article is to develop some general aggregation operators (AOs) based on Einstein’s norm operations, to cumulate the Fermatean fuzzy data in decision-making environments. A Fermatean fuzzy set (FFS), possessing the more flexible structure than the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), is a competent tool to handle vague information in the decision-making process by the means of membership degree (MD) and nonmembership degree (NMD). Our target is to empower the AOs using the theoretical basis of Einstein norms for the FFS to establish some advantageous operators, namely, Fermatean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (FFEWA), Fermatean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (FFEOWA), generalized Fermatean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (GFFEWA), and generalized Fermatean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (GFFEOWA) operators. Some properties and important results of the proposed operators are highlighted. As an addition to the MADM strategies, an approach, based on the proposed operators, is presented to deal with Fermatean fuzzy data in MADM problems. Moreover, multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problem for the selection of an effective sanitizer to reduce coronavirus is presented to show the capability and proficiency of this new idea. The results are compared with the Fermatean fuzzy TOPSIS method to exhibit the potency of the proposed model.

An q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is a generalized structure that covers the modern extensions of fuzzy set, including intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set, with an adjustable parameter q that makes it flexible and adaptable to describe the inexact information in decision making. The condition of q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, i.e., sum of q th power of membership degree and nonmembership degree is bounded by one, makes it highly competent and adequate to get over the limitations of existing models. The basic purpose of this study is to establish some aggregation operators under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment with Einstein norm operations. Motivated by innovative features of Einstein operators and dominant behavior of q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, some new aggregation operators, namely, q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging, q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging, generalized q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging and generalized q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging operators are defined. Furthermore, some properties related to proposed operators are presented. Moreover, multi-attribute decision making problems related to career selection, agriculture land selection and residential place selection are presented under these operators to show the capability and proficiency of this new idea. The comparison analysis with existing theories shows the superiorities of proposed model.

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.

AbstractOn the basis of the combination of single-valued neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, this article proposes a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) as a further generalization of the concepts of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, we introduce the basic operational relations and cosine measure function of SVNHFSs. Also, we develop a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (SVNHFWA) operator and a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric (SVNHFWG) operator and investigate their properties. Furthermore, a multiple-attribute decision-making method is established on the basis of the SVNHFWA and SVNHFWG operators and the cosine measure under a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy environment. Finally, an illustrative example of investment alternatives is given to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the developed approach.

Interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set is one of the successful extensions of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set for handling the uncertainties in the data. Under this environment, in this paper, we introduce the notion of induced interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (I-IVPFEOWA) aggregation operator. Some of its desirable properties namely, idempotency, boundedness, commutatively, monotonicity have also been proved. The main advantage of using the proposed operator is that this operator gives a more complete view of the problem to the decision-makers. The method proposed in this paper provides more general, more accurate and precise results as compared to the existing methods. Therefore this method play a vital role in real world problems. Finally, we apply the proposed operator to deal with multi-attribute group decision- making problems under interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information. The approach has been illustrated with a numerical example from the field of the decision-making problems to show the validity, practicality and effectiveness of the new approach.

The complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (Cq-ROFS), an efficient generalization of complex intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS) and complex Pythagorean fuzzy set (CPFS), is potent tool to handle the two-dimensional information and has larger ability to translate the more uncertainty of human judgment then CPFS as it relaxes the constrains of CPFS and thus the space of allowable orthopair increases. To solve the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem by considering that criteria are at the same priority level may affect the results because in realistic situations the priority level of criteria is different. In this manuscript, we propose some useful prioritized AOs under Cq-ROF environment by considering the prioritization among attributes. We develop two prioritized AOs, namely complex q-rung orthropair fuzzy prioritized weighted averaging (C-qROFPWA) operator and complex q-rung orthropair fuzzy prioritized weighted geometric (Cq-ROFPWG) operator. We also consider their desirable properties and two special cases with their detailed proofs. Moreover, we investigate a new technique to solve the MCDM problem by initiating an algorithm along with flowchart on the bases of proposed operators. Further, we solve a practical example to reveal the importance of proposed AOs. Finally, we apply the existing operators on the same data to compare our computed result to check the superiority and validity of our proposed operators.

The linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS) has been proved to be an efficient tool in expressing decision maker (DM) evaluation values in multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) procedure. To more effectively represent DMs’ evaluation information in complicated MCDM process, this paper proposes a MCDM method based on proposed novel aggregation operators (AOs) under linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS). A q -Rung orthopair fuzzy set ( q -ROFS), Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), and intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) are rudimentary concepts in computational intelligence, which have diverse applications in modeling uncertainty and MCDM. Unfortunately, these theories have their own limitations related to the membership and nonmembership grades. The linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS) is a new approach towards uncertainty which has the ability to relax the strict constraints of IFS, PFS, and q –ROFS by considering reference/control parameters. LDFS provides an appropriate way to the decision experts (DEs) in order to deal with vague and uncertain information in a comprehensive way. Under these environments, we introduce several AOs named as linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (LDFEWA) operator, linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (LDFEOWA) operator, linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric (LDFEWG) operator, and linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted geometric (LDFEOWG) operator. We investigate certain characteristics and operational laws with some illustrations. Ultimately, an innovative approach for MCDM under the linear Diophantine fuzzy information is examined by implementing suggested aggregation operators. A useful example related to a country’s national health administration (NHA) to create a fully developed postacute care (PAC) model network for the health recovery of patients suffering from cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) is exhibited to specify the practicability and efficacy of the intended approach.

As a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set, the Pythagorean fuzzy set is interesting and very useful in modeling uncertain information in real-world decision-making problems. In this paper, we develop a new method for Pythagorean fuzzy multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems with aggregation operators and distance measures. First, we present the Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging weighted average distance (PFOWAWAD) operator. The main advantage of the PFOWAWAD operator is that it uses distance measures in a unified framework between the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and weighted average (WA) that considers the degree of importance of each concept in the aggregation. Some of its main properties and special cases are studied. Then, based on the proposed operator, a hybrid TOPSIS method, called PFOWAWAD-TOPSIS is introduced for Pythagorean fuzzy MCDM problem. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the practicality and feasibility of the developed method.

A Fermatean fuzzy set is a more powerful tool to deal with uncertainties in the given information as compared to intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set and has energetic applications in decision-making. Aggregation operators are very helpful for assessing the given alternatives in the decision-making process, and their purpose is to integrate all the given individual evaluation values into a unified form. In this research article, some new aggregation operators are proposed under the Fermatean fuzzy set environment. Some deficiencies of the existing operators are discussed, and then, new operational law, by considering the interaction between the membership degree and nonmembership degree, is discussed to reduce the drawbacks of existing theories. Based on Hamacher’s norm operations, new averaging operators, namely, Fermatean fuzzy Hamacher interactive weighted averaging, Fermatean fuzzy Hamacher interactive ordered weighted averaging, and Fermatean fuzzy Hamacher interactive hybrid weighted averaging operators, are introduced. Some interesting properties related to these operators are also presented. To get the optimal alternative, a multiattribute group decision-making method has been given under proposed operators. Furthermore, we have explicated the comparison analysis between the proposed and existing theories for the exactness and validity of the proposed work.

As a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS) is a new concept in describing complex fuzzy uncertainty information. The present work focuses on the multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy information. To begin with, some drawbacks of the existing MAGDM methods based on aggregation operators (AOs) are firstly analyzed. In addition, some improved operational laws put forward to overcome the drawbacks along with some properties of the operational law are proved. Thirdly, we put forward the improved q-rung orthopair fuzzy-weighted averaging (q-IROFWA) aggregation operator and improved q-rung orthopair fuzzy-weighted power averaging (q-IROFWPA) aggregation operator and present some of their properties. Then, based on the q-IROFWA operator and q-IROFWPA operator, we proposed a new method to deal with MAGDM problems under the fuzzy environment. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for solving group decision making problems in which preference comparisons between alternatives are expressed with Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) preference relations. In this methodology, the generalized ordered weighted averaging (GOWA) operator is extended to develop the Atanassov's IF set (IFS) generalized ordered weighted averaging (IFSGOWA) operator, which can aggregate vague or imprecise information expressed with the Atanassov's IFSs. The Atanassov's IFSGOWA operator based methodology is further developed to solve group decision making problems with Atanassov's IF preference relations. A real example of the agroecological region assessment problem is used to illustrate the implementation and applicability of the proposed methodology. It is also shown that the obtained decision results could be affected by the choice of the parameter lambda and the nature of the weights.
