Numerous variants have been proposed for sets of linguistic terms and the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set (IVHFS). In particular, the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy linguistic set (IVHFLS) is more suitable for defining the hesitancy and inconsistency inherent in the human cognitive processes of decision making. A key aggregation operator is Heronian mean (HM), based on which the correlation among aggregated arguments can be captured. However, the existing HM operators partially overlook the correlation among more than two arguments and lack the properties of idempotency and reducibility. In this work, the limitations of HM operators are first analyzed. Then, two new HM variants are introduced: three-parameter weighted Heronian mean (TPWHM) and three-parameter weighted geometric Heronian mean (TPWGHM). Thus, the reducibility, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness properties are proven for the two computational procedures, and unique situations are mentioned. Furthermore, two more elaborate operators are also introduced which are called the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy linguistic TPWHM (IVHFLTPWHM) and the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy linguistic TPWGHM (IVHFLTPWGHM). The main properties, as well as unique situations of these two computational procedures, are discussed. Finally, the introduced methods are clarified by illustrative examples. In addition, the parameter effects on the decision-making outcomes are discussed and comparisons with other reference methods are made.

Aiming at multiple attributes group decision-making (MAGDM) problems that characterize uncertainty nature and decision hesitancy, firstly, we propose the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy unbalanced linguistic set (IVDHFUBLS) in which two sets of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy membership degrees and nonmembership degrees are employed to supplement the most preferred unbalanced linguistic term, as an effective hybrid expression tool to elicit complicate preferences of decision-makers more comprehensively and flexibly than existing tools based on classic linguistic term set. Basic operations for IVDHFUBLS are further defined; also a novel distance measure is developed to avoid potential information distortion that could be brought about by traditional complementing methodology for hesitant fuzzy set and its derivatives. In view of the fundamental role of aggregation operators in MAGDM modelling, we next develop some extended power aggregation operators for IVDHFUBLS, including power aggregation operator, weighted power aggregation operator, and induced power ordered weighted aggregation operator; their desirable properties and special cases are also analyzed theoretically. Subsequently, with support of the above methods, we develop two effective approaches for our targeted complex decision-making problems and verify their effectiveness and practicality by numerical studies.

The interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy set (IVDHFS) can depict the imprecise, vague and indeterminate information and Heronian mean (HM) has the prominent characteristic of capturing the correlation of the aggregated arguments. In this paper, we investigate multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems based on HM, in which the attribute values are assumed in the form of interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy information. Firstly, we briefly present some concepts of IVDHFS and HM. Then, we propose the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy Heronian mean (IVDHFHM) operator and the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy geometric Heronian mean (IVDHFGHM) operator. We also prove that they satisfy some desirable properties. Further, we consider the importance of the input arguments and derive the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy weighted Heronian mean (IVDHFWHM) operator and the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric Heronian mean (IVDHFWGHM) operator, and then develop the procedure of MADM. Finally, an illustrate example is given to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the new approach.

As a powerful generalization to fuzzy set, hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) was introduced, which provided multiple possible membership values to be associated with a specific instance. But HFS did not consider occurrence probability values, and to circumvent the issue, probabilistic HFS (PHFS) was introduced, which associates an occurrence probability value with each hesitant fuzzy element (HFE). Providing such a precise probability value is an open challenge and as a generalization to PHFS, interval-valued PHFS (IVPHFS) was proposed. IVPHFS provided flexibility to decision makers (DMs) by associating a range of values as an occurrence probability for each HFE. To enrich the usefulness of IVPHFS in multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM), in this paper, we extend the Muirhead mean (MM) operator to IVPHFS for aggregating preferences. The MM operator is a generalized operator that can effectively capture the interrelationship between multiple attributes. Some properties of the proposed operator are also discussed. Then, a new programming model is proposed for calculating the weights of attributes using DMs’ partial information. Later, a systematic procedure is presented for MAGDM with the proposed operator and the practical use of the operator is demonstrated by using a renewable energy source selection problem. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal are discussed in comparison with other methods.

Chen dan Xu memperkenalkan tentang relasi preference hesitant bernilai interval dalam proses pengambilan keputusan kelompok(Group Decision Making/GDM ) [2]. Pada proses GDM digunakan operator-operator untuk mengumpulkan informasi Interval-valued Hesitant Fuzzy Set (IVHFS) [2]. Konsep himpunan kabur hesitant bernilai interval banyak digunakan pada teori pengambilan keputusan. akan tetapi pada penelitian ini hanya dibatasi kajian aljabar yaitu dikaji tentang sifat-sifat operasi pada elemen kabur hesitant bernilai interval dan bentuk operator-operator pada IVHFS. Operasi ring sum, ring product, irisan dan gabungan pada elemen kabur hesitant bernilai interval memenuhi sifat-sifat aljabar yaitu sifat komutatif, sifat asosiatif, sifat distributif.

In this paper, we focus on new methods to deal with multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems and a new comparison law of interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy elements (IVDHFEs). More explicitly, the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy 2nd-order central polymerization degree (IVDHFCP2) function is introduced, for the case that score values of different IVDHFEs are identical. This function can further compare different IVDHFEs. Then, we develop a series of interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy power Heronian aggregation operators, i.e., the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy power Heronian mean (IVDHFPHM) operator, the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy power geometric Heronian mean (IVDHFPGHM) operator, and their weighted forms. Some desirable properties and their special cases are discussed. These proposed operators can simultaneously reflect the interrelationship of aggregated arguments and reduce the influence of unreasonable evaluation values. Finally, two approaches for interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy MAGDM with known or unknown weight information are presented. An illustrative example and comparative studies are given to verify the advantages of our methods. A sensitivity analysis of the decision results is analyzed with different parameters.

Linguistic aggregation operator is a paramount appliance to fix linguistic multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) issues. In the article, the Hamy mean (HM) operator is utilized to fuse hesitant fuzzy linguistic (HFL) information and several novel HFL aggregation operators including the hesitant fuzzy linguistic Hamy mean (HFLHM) operator, weighted hesitant fuzzy linguistic Hamy mean (WHFLHM) operator, hesitant fuzzy linguistic dual Hamy mean (HFLDHM) operator, and weighted hesitant fuzzy linguistic dual Hamy mean (WHFLDHM) operator are proposed. Besides, several paramount theorems and particular cases of these aggregation operators are investigated in detail, and then a novel MADM approach is presented by using the proposed aggregation operators. Ultimately, a practical example is utilized to manifest the effectiveness and practicability of the propounded method.
