Preferences-involved evaluation and decision making are the main research subjects in Yager’s decision theory. When the involved bipolar preferences are concerned with interval information, some induced weights allocation and aggregation methods should be reanalyzed and redesigned. This work considers the multi-criteria evaluation situation in which originally only the interval-valued absolute importance of each criterion is available. Firstly, based on interval-valued importance, upper bounds, lower bounds, and the mean points of each, we used the basic unit monotonic function-based bipolar preference weights allocation method four times to generate weight vectors. A comprehensive weighting mechanism is proposed after considering the normalization of the given absolute importance information. The bipolar optimism–pessimism preference-based weights allocation will also be applied according to the magnitudes of entries of any given interval input vector. A similar comprehensive weighting mechanism is still performed. With the obtained weight vector for criteria, we adopt the weighted ordered weighted averaging allocation on a convex poset to organically consider both two types of interval-inducing information and propose a further comprehensive weights allocation mechanism. The detailed comprehensive evaluation procedures with a numerical example for education are presented to show that the proposed models are feasible and useful in interval, multi-criteria, and bipolar preferences-involved decisional environments.

In cloud quantum computing, a classical client delegate quantum computing to a remote quantum server. An important property of cloud quantum computing is the verifiability: the client can check the integrity of the server. Whether such a classical verification of quantum computing is possible or not is one of the most important open problems in quantum computing. We tackle this problem from the view point of quantum interactive proof systems. Dr Tomoyuki Morimae is part of the Quantum Information Group at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University, Japan. He leads a team which is concerned with two main research subjects: quantum supremacy and the verification of quantum computing.

Interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy set (IVTSFS) handles uncertain and vague information by discussing their membership degree (MD), abstinence degree (AD), non-membership degree (NMD), and refusal degree (RD). MD, AD, NMD, and RD are defined in terms of closed subintervals of that reduce information loss compared to the T-spherical fuzzy set (TSFS), which takes crisp values from intervals; hence, some information may be lost. The purpose of this manuscript is to develop some Hamacher aggregation operators (HAOs) in the environment of IVTSFSs. To do so, some Hamacher operational laws based on Hamacher t-norms (HTNs) and Hamacher t-conorms (HTCNs) are introduced. Using Hamacher operational laws, we develop some aggregation operators (AOs), including an interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy Hamacher (IVTSFH) weighted averaging (IVTSFHWA) operator, an IVTSFH-ordered weighted averaging (IVTSFHOWA) operator, an IVTSFH hybrid averaging (IVTSFHHA) operator, an IVTSFH-weighted geometric (IVTSFHWG) operator, an IVTSFH-ordered weighted geometric (IVTSFHOWG) operator, and an IVTSFH hybrid geometric (IVTSFHHG) operator. The validation of the newly developed HAOs is investigated, and their basic properties are examined. In view of some restrictions, the generalization and proposed HAOs are shown, and a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) procedure is explored based on the HAOs, which are further exemplified. Finally, a comparative analysis of the proposed work is also discussed with previous literature to show the superiority of our work.

Decision-making in fuzzy environment is often a very complex, especially when related to predictions and assessments. The Ratio system approach of the MOORA method and Intervalvalued fuzzy numbers have already proved themselves as the effective tools for solving complex decision-making problems. Therefore, in this paper an extension of the Ratio system approach of the MOORA method, which allows a group decision-making as well as the use of interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers, is proposed. Interval-fuzzy numbers are rather complex, and therefore, they are not practical for direct assigning performance ratings. For this reason, in this paper it has also been suggested the approach which allows the expression of individual performance ratings using crisp, interval or fuzzy numbers, and their further transformation into the group performance ratings, expressed in the form of interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers, which provide greater flexibility and reality compared to the use of linguistic variables. Finally, in this paper the weighted averaging operator was proposed for defuzzification of interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers.

This paper aims to propose an innovative approach to group decision making (GDM) with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) preference relations (IVIFPRs). First, an IVIFPR is proposed based on the additive consistency of an interval-valued fuzzy preference relation (IVFPR). Then, two mathematical or adjusted programming models are established to extract two special consistent IVFPRs. In order to derive the priority weight of an IVIFPR, after taking the two special IVFPRs into consideration, a linear optimization model is constructed by minimizing the deviations between individual judgments and between the width degrees of the interval priority weights. For GDM with IVIFPRs, the decision makers’ weights are generated by combining the adjusted subjective weights with the objective weights. Subsequently, using an IVIF-weighted averaging operator, the collective IVIFPR is obtained and utilized to derive the IVIF priority weights. Finally, a practical example of a supplier selection is analyzed to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.

Probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy set (PDHFS) is an enhanced version of a dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) in which each membership and non-membership hesitant value is considered along with its occurrence probability. These assigned probabilities give more details about the level of agreeness or disagreeness. By emphasizing the advantages of the PDHFS and the aggregation operators, in this manuscript, we have proposed several weighted and ordered weighted averaging and geometric aggregation operators by using Einstein norm operations, where the preferences related to each object is taken in terms of probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy elements. Several desirable properties and relations are also investigated in details. Also, we have proposed two distance measures and its based maximum deviation method to compute the weight vector of the different criteria. Finally, a multi-criteria group decision-making approach is constructed based on proposed operators and the presented algorithm is explained with the help of the numerical example. The reliability of the presented decision-making method is explored with the help of testing criteria and by comparing the results of the example with several prevailing studies.

Group decision making with intuitionistic fuzzy preference information contains two key issues: acceptability measurement and priority weight determination. In this paper, we investigate the above two issues with respect to multiplicative interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation (IVIFPR). Firstly, a consistency index is defined to measure the multiplicative consistency degree of IVIFPR and an optimization model is established to improve the consistency degree of IVIFPR to an acceptable one. Next, in terms of priority weight determination, an error-analysis-based extension method is proposed to obtain priority weight vector from the acceptable IVIFPR. For GDM problems, decision makers’ weights are derived by the proposed multiplicative consistency index. Subsequently, the collective IVIFPR is obtained by using an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) weighted averaging operator. Finally, a step-by step algorithm for GDM with IVIFPRs is given, and an example of enterprise innovation partner selection is analyzed, and comparative analyses with existing approaches are performed to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is both effective and practical in dealing with GDM problems.

Regional water safety systems are affected by social, economic, ecological, hydrological and other factors, and their effects are complicated and variable. Studying water safety systems is crucial to promoting the coordinated development of regional water safety systems and anthropogenic processes. Thus, a similarity cloud model is developed to simulate the evolution mechanisms of fuzzy and complex regional systems of water security and overcome the uncertainty that is associated with the indices that are used in water safety index systems. This cloud generator is used to reciprocally transform a qualitative cloud image with a quantitative cloud characteristic value, and the stochastic weight assignment method is used to determine the weight of the evaluation indices. The results of case studies show that Jiansanjiang's water safety systems were in a safe state in 2002–2011, but the water safety systems in the arid area of Yinchuan City were in a dangerous state in 2006–2007 because of climate factors and a lack of effective water and soil resource protection. The experimental results are consistent with the research subjects' actual situations, and the proposed model provides a tool for decision makers to better understand the security issues that are associated with regional water safety systems.
