Developing aggregation operators for interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFSs) is a technological task we are faced with, because they are specifically important in many problems related to the fusion of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information. This paper develops several novel kinds of power geometric operators, which are referred to as variable power geometric operators, and extends them to interval-valued hesitant fuzzy environments. A series of generalized interval-valued hesitant fuzzy power geometric (GIVHFG) operators are also proposed to aggregate the IVHFSs to model mandatory requirements. One of the important characteristics of these operators is that objective weights of input arguments are variable with the change of a non-negative parameter. By adjusting the exact value of the parameter, the influence caused by some “false” or “biased” arguments can be reduced. We demonstrate some desirable and useful properties of the proposed aggregation operators and utilize them to develop techniques for multiple criteria group decision making with IVHFSs considering the heterogeneous opinions among individual decision makers. Furthermore, we propose an entropy weights-based fitting approach for objectively obtaining the appropriate value of the parameter. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (PIVHFSs) are an extension of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFSs) in which each hesitant interval value is considered along with its occurrence probability. These assigned probabilities give more details about the level of agreeness or disagreeness. PIVHFSs describe the belonging degrees in the form of interval along with probabilities and thereby provide more information and can help the decision makers (DMs) to obtain precise, rational, and consistent decision consequences than IVHFSs, as the correspondence of unpredictability and inaccuracy broadly presents in real life problems due to which experts are confused to assign the weights to the criteria. In order to cope with this problem, we construct the linear programming (LP) methodology to find the exact values of the weights for the criteria. Furthermore these weights are employed in the aggregation operators of PIVHFSs recently developed. Finally, the LP methodology and the actions are then applied on a certain multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem and a comparative analysis is given at the end.

Motivated by interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFSs) and picture fuzzy sets (PcFSs), a notion of interval-valued hesitant picture fuzzy sets (IVHPcFSs) is presented in this article. The concept of IVHPcFSs is put forward and some operational rules are developed to deal with it. The cosine similarity measures (SMs) are modified for IVHPcFSs to deal with interval-valued hesitant picture fuzzy (IVHPcF) data and the linear programming (LP) methodology is used to find out the criteria’s weights. A multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approach is then developed to tackle the vague and ambiguous information involved in MCDM problems under the framework of IVHPcFSs. For the validation and strengthen of the proposed MCDM approach a practical example is put forward to select the educational expert at the end.

Hesitant fuzzy sets represent a useful tool in many areas such as decision making or image processing. Finite interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets are a particular kind of hesitant fuzzy sets that generalize fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets or Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets, among others. Partitioning is a long-standing open problem due to its remarkable importance in many areas such as clustering. Thus, many different partitioning approaches have been developed for crisp and fuzzy sets. This work presents a partitioning method for the so-called finite interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets. The definition of this partitioning method involves a definition of an ordering relation for finite interval-valued fuzzy sets membership degrees, i.e, finitely generated sets, as well as the definitions of t-norm and t-conorm for these kinds of sets.
