Extended q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs) is an excellent tool to depict the qualitative assessing information in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) environments. The EDAS method is very effective especially when the conflicting attributes exist in the MAGDM issues in which the optimal alternative should have the biggest value of PDAS and the smallest value of NDAS. In this paper, we put forward the EDAS method for MAGDM issues under q-ROFSs, which makes use of average solution (AS) for assessing the chosen alternatives. The positive distance from AS (PDAS) and negative distance from AS (NDAS) is derived through the score of q-ROFSs. Then, the sorting order or the optimal alternative can be acquired by computing integrative appraisal score. Finally, a numerical example for buying a refrigerator is given to testify our developed EDAS method and some comparative analysis are also raised to further show the precious merits of this method.

In this article, we extend the original TODIM (Portuguese acronym for Interactive Multi-Criteria Decision Making) method to the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic fuzzy environment to propose the 2TLNNs TODIM method. In the extended method, we use 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers (2TLNNs) to present the criteria values in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Firstly, we briefly introduce the definition, operational laws, some aggregation operators and the distance calculating method of 2TLNNs. Then, the calculation steps of the original TODIM model are presented in simplified form. Thereafter, we extend the original TODIM model to the 2TLNNs environment to build the 2TLNNs TODIM model, our proposed method, which is more reasonable and scientific in considering the subjectivity of DM’s behaviors and the dominance of each alternative over others. Finally, a numerical example for the safety assessment of a construction project is proposed to illustrate the new method, and some comparisons are also conducted to further illustrate the advantages of the new method.

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs), originated by Yager, are good tools to describe fuzziness in human cognitive processes. The basic elements of q-ROFSs are q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q-ROFNs), which are constructed by membership and nonmembership degrees. As realistic decision-making is very complicated, decision makers (DMs) may be hesitant among several values when determining membership and nonmembership degrees. By incorporating dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs) into q-ROFSs, we propose a new technique to deal with uncertainty, called q-rung dual hesitant fuzzy sets (q-RDHFSs). Subsequently, we propose a family of q-rung dual hesitant fuzzy Heronian mean operators for q-RDHFSs. Further, the newly developed aggregation operators are utilized in multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). We used the proposed method to solve a most suitable supplier selection problem to demonstrate its effectiveness and usefulness. The merits and advantages of the proposed method are highlighted via comparison with existing MAGDM methods. The main contribution of this paper is that a new method for MAGDM is proposed.

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.

In order to solve the problem of multi-attribute group-decision making with the elements of evaluation matrix are intuitionistic fuzzy sets, this paper offers corresponding TOPSIS models based on the information entropy weights and examples to be verified. The examples show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed models.
