AbstractThe complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (Cq-ROFS) is the extension of complex Pythagorean fuzzy set (CPFS) in which the sum of the q-power of the real part (imaginary part) of the support for and the q-power of the real part (imaginary part) of the support against is limited by one; however, it is difficult to express the hesitant information. In this study, the conception of complex q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy set (Cq-ROHFS) by combining the Cq-ROFS and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) is proposed, and its properties are discussed, obviously, Cq-ROHFS can reflect the uncertainties in structure and in detailed evaluations. Further, some distance measures (DMs) and cross-entropy measures (CEMs) are developed based on complex multiple fuzzy sets. Moreover, these proposed measures are utilized to solve a multi-criteria decision-making problem based on TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) method. Then, the advantages and superiority of the proposed measures are explained by the experimental results and comparisons with some existing methods.

Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) is full of uncertainty and vagueness due to intrinsic complexity, limited experience and individual cognition. Representative decision theories include fuzzy set (FS), intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) and so on. Compared with IFS and HFS, DHFS has more advantages in dealing with uncertainties in real MADM problems and possesses good symmetry. The membership degrees and non-membership degrees in DHFS are simultaneously permitted to represent decision makers’ preferences by a given set having diverse possibilities. In this paper, new distance measures for dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs) are developed in terms of the mean, variance and number of elements in the dual hesitant fuzzy elements (DHFEs), which overcomes some deficiencies of the existing distance measures for DHFSs. The proposed distance measures are effectively applicable to solve MADM problems where the attribute weights are completely unknown. With the help of the new distance measures, the attribute weights are objectively determined, and the closeness coefficients of each alternative can be objectively obtained to generate optimal solution. Finally, an evaluation problem of airline service quality is conducted by using the distance-based MADM method to demonstrate its validity and applicability.

Decision making under uncertainty is a crucial issue and most demanding area of research now a days. Intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set plays important role in dealing with the circumstances in which decision makers judge an alternative with a collection membership grades and a collection of non-membership grades. This paper contributes a novel and advanced distance measure between Intuitionistic Hesitant fuzzy sets (IHFSs). A comparative analysis of the present distance measure with existing measures is performed first. Afterwards, a case study is carried in multi-criteria decision making problem to exhibit the applicability and rationality of the proposed distance measure. The advantage of the proposed distance measure over the existing distance measures is that in case of deficit number of elements in IHFs, a decision maker can evaluate distance measure without adding extra elements to make them equivalent and furthermore, it works in successfully in all the situations.

Abstract Fermatean fuzzy set idea obtained by combining fermatean fuzzy sets and hesitant fuzzy sets can be used in practice to simplify the solution of complicated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. Initially, the notion of fermatean hesitant fuzzy set is given and the operations related to this concept are presented. Aggregation operators according to fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets are given and basic properties of these operators are studied. To choose the best alternative in practice, a novel MCDM method that is obtained with operators has been created. Finally, an example of infectious diseases was examined to indicate the effectiveness of the suggested techniques.

In this paper we introduced cubic hesitant fuzzy set and defined internal (external) cubic hesitant fuzzy set, P(R)-union and P(R)-intersection of cubic hesitant fuzzy sets. Furthermore we defined P(R)-addition and P(R)-multiplication of cubic hesitant fuzzy sets. By using the defined operations of cubic hesitant fuzzy sets we proved their different results. We also defined R-weighted averaging and R-weighted geometric operators for cubic hesitant fuzzy sets and practiced it in multi-criteria decision making problem.

Dimensional analysis under linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy set (DA-LPFS) is a technique to handle qualitative (intangible) as well as the interactions between criteria, by combining dimensional analysis (DA) and Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) with linguistic variables. In this paper, a novel DA method is proposed for LPFSs based in a PFS extension, in order to consider the mutual relationship among criteria and handle qualitative (fuzzy) and quantitative (crisp) information usually involved in Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. Finally, DA-LPFS is applied to handle a case concerning the selection of CNC router to illustrate the applicability of the method.

Complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (CQROFS) is a proficient technique to describe awkward and complicated information by the truth and falsity grades with a condition that the sum of the q-powers of the real part and imaginary part is in unit interval. Further, Schweizer–Sklar (SS) operations are more flexible to aggregate the information, and the Muirhead mean (MM) operator can examine the interrelationships among the attributes, and it is more proficient and more generalized than many aggregation operators to cope with awkward and inconsistence information in realistic decision issues. The objectives of this manuscript are to explore the SS operators based on CQROFS and to study their score function, accuracy function, and their relationships. Further, based on these operators, some MM operators based on PFS, called complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy MM (CQROFMM) operator, complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted MM (CQROFWMM) operator, and their special cases are presented. Additionally, the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach is developed by using the explored operators based on CQROFS. Finally, the advantages and comparative analysis are also discussed.

 Higher-order fuzzy decision-making methods have become powerful tools to support decision-makers in solving their problems effectively by reflecting uncertainty in calculations better than crisp sets in the last 3 decades. Fermatean fuzzy set proposed by Senapati and Yager, which can easily process uncertain information in decision making, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis et al., is extension of intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set by relaxing the restraint conditions of the support for degrees and support against degrees. In this paper, we focus on the similarity measures of Fermatean fuzzy sets. The definitions of the Fermatean fuzzy sets similarity measures and its weighted similarity measures on discrete and continuous universes are given in turn. Then, the basic properties of the presented similarity measures are discussed. Afterward, a decision-making process under the Fermatean fuzzy environment based on TOPSIS method is established, and a new method based on the proposed Fermatean fuzzy sets similarity measures is designed to solve the problems of medical diagnosis. Ultimately, an interpretative multi-criteria decision making example and two medical diagnosis examples are provided to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed method. Through comparing the different methods in the multi-criteria decision making and the medical diagnosis application, it is found that the new method is as efficient as the other methods. These results illustrate that the proposed method is practical in dealing with the decision making problems and medical diagnosis problems.

The subject of this study is to explore the role of cardinality of hesitant fuzzy element (HFE) in distance measures on hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). Firstly, three parameters, i.e., credibility factor, conservative factor, and a risk factor are introduced, thereafter, a series of novel distance measures on HFSs are proposed using these three parameters. These newly proposed distance measures handle the relationship between the cardinal number and the element values of hesitant fuzzy set well, and are suitable to combine subjective and objective decision-making information. When using these functions, decision makers with different risk preferences are allowed to give different values for these three parameters. In particular, this study transfers the hesitance degree index to a credibility of the values in HFEs, which is consistent with people’s intuition. Finally, the practicability of the newly proposed distance measures is verified by two examples.

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.

In this manuscript, the notions of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs) and complex fuzzy sets (CFSs) are combined is to propose the complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (Cq-ROFSs) and their fundamental laws. The Cq-ROFSs are an important way to express uncertain information, and they are superior to the complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets. Their eminent characteristic is that the sum of the qth power of the real part (similarly for imaginary part) of complex-valued membership degree and the qth power of the real part (similarly for imaginary part) of complex-valued non‐membership degree is equal to or less than 1, so the space of uncertain information they can describe is broader. Under these environments, we develop the score function, accuracy function and comparison method for two Cq-ROFNs. Based on Cq-ROFSs, some new aggregation operators are called complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted averaging (Cq-ROFWA) and complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted geometric (Cq-ROFWG) operators are investigated, and their properties are described. Further, based on proposed operators, we present a new method to deal with the multi‐attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems under the environment of fuzzy set theory. Finally, we use some practical examples to illustrate the validity and superiority of the proposed method by comparing with other existing methods.
