 In present paper, we put forward four types of hesitant fuzzy β covering rough sets (HFβCRSs) by uniting covering based rough sets (CBRSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). We firstly originate hesitant fuzzy β covering of the universe, which can induce two types of neighborhood to produce four types of HFβCRSs. We then make further efforts to probe into the properties of each type of HFβCRSs. Particularly, the relationships of each type of rough approximation operators w.r.t. two different hesitant fuzzy β coverings are groped. Moreover, the relationships between our proposed models and some other existing related models are established. Finally, we give an application model, an algorithm, and an illustrative example to elaborate the applications of HFβCRSs in multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems. By making comparative analysis, the HFβCRSs models proposed by us are more general than the existing models of Ma and Yang and are more applicable than the existing models of Ma and Yang when handling hesitant fuzzy information.

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, we present concepts of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets, and investigate some properties of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets in detail. Furthermore, classical representations of intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough approximation operators are presented. Finally, we develop an approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets based on decision making and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed approach.

Spherical hesitant fuzzy sets have recently become more popular in various fields. It was proposed as a generalization of picture hesitant fuzzy sets and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets in order to deal with uncertainty and fuzziness information. Technique of Aggregation is one of the beneficial tools to aggregate the information. It has many crucial application areas such as decision-making, data mining, medical diagnosis, and pattern recognition. Keeping in view the importance of logarithmic function and aggregation operators, we proposed a novel algorithm to tackle the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. First, novel logarithmic operational laws are developed based on the logarithmic, t-norm, and t-conorm functions. Using these operational laws, we developed a list of logarithmic spherical hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging/geometric aggregation operators to aggregate the spherical hesitant fuzzy information. Furthermore, we developed the spherical hesitant fuzzy entropy to determine the unknown attribute weight information. Finally, the design principles for the spherical hesitant fuzzy decision-making have been developed, and a practical case study of hotel recommendation based on the online consumer reviews has been taken to illustrate the validity and superiority of presented approach. Besides this, a validity test is conducted to reveal the advantages and effectiveness of developed approach. Results indicate that the proposed method is suitable and effective for the decision process to evaluate their best alternative.

In practice, picture hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs) combining the picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) are suitable to represent more complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) information. The power heronian (PH) operators, which have the merits of power average (PA) and heronian mean (HM) operators, are extended to the environment of PHFSs in this article. First, some algebraic operations of picture hesitant fuzzy numbers (PHFNs), comparative functions and distance measure are introduced. Second, two novel operators, called as picture hesitant fuzzy weighted power heronian (PHFWPH) operator and picture hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric power heronian (PHFWGPH) operator, are defined. Meanwhile, some desirable characteristics and special instances of two operators are investigated as well. Third, a novel MCDM approach applying the proposed PH operators to handle PHFNs is explored. Lastly, to indicate the effectiveness of this novel method, an example regarding MCDM problem is conducted, as well as sensitivity and comparison analysis.

It is quite beneficial for every company to have a strong decision-making technique at their disposal. Experts and managers involved in decision-making strategies would particularly benefit from such a technique in order to have a crucial impact on the strategy of their company. This paper considers the interval-valued linear Diophantine fuzzy (IV-LDF) sets and uses their algebraic laws. Furthermore, by using the Muirhead mean (MM) operator and IV-LDF data, the IV-LDF power MM (IV-LDFPMM) and the IV-LDF weighted power MM (IV-LDFWPMM) operators are developed, and some special properties and results demonstrated. The decision-making technique relies on objective data that can be observed. Based on the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique, which is the beneficial part of the decision-making strategy, examples are given to illustrate the development. To demonstrate the advantages of the developed tools, a comparative analysis and geometrical interpretations are also provided.

In many cases, use of Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets may not be sufficient to characterize uncertain information associated with decision making problems. From that view point the concept of interval-valued Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets are introduced in this paper. Considering the flexibility with the general parameters, Archimedean t-conorms and t-norms are applied to develop several operational laws in interval-valued Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment. Some characteristics of the developed operators are presented. The newly developed operators are used to derive a methodology for solving multicriteria decision making problems with interval-valued Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy information. Finally, two illustrative examples are provided to establish the validity of the proposed approach and are compared with the existing technique to exhibit its flexibility and effectiveness.
