Abstract In this paper, we introduce the concept of the Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS), which is the generalization of the intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set under the restriction that the square sum of its membership degrees is ≤1. In decision making with PHFSs, aggregation operators play a key role because they can be used to synthesize multidimensional evaluation values represented as Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy values into collective values. Under PHFS environments, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging and Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted geometric operators are used to aggregate the Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy values. The main advantage of these operators is that they provide more accurate and valuable results. Furthermore, these operators are applied to decision-making problems in which experts provide their preferences in the Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment to show the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the new approach. Finally, we compare the proposed approach to the existing methods.

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy Set (PHFs) is the most powerful and comprehensive idea to support more complexity than developed fuzzy set (FS) frameworks. In this paper, it can explain a novel, improved TOPSIS-based method for multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problem through the Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy environment, in which the weights of both experts and criteria are completely unknown. Firstly, we discuss the concept of PHFs, score functions and the basic operating laws of PHFs. In fact, to compute the unknown weight information, the generalized distance measure for PHFs was defined based on the Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy entropy measure. Second, MCGDM will be presented with the PHF information-based decision-making process.

As an extension of the fuzzy set, the hesitant fuzzy set is used to effectively solve the hesitation of decision-makers in group decision-making and to rigorously express the decision information. In this paper, we first introduce some new hesitant fuzzy Hamacher power-aggregation operators for hesitant fuzzy information based on Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm. Some desirable properties of these operators is shown, and the interrelationships between them are given. Furthermore, the relationships between the proposed aggregation operators and the existing hesitant fuzzy power-aggregation operators are discussed. Based on the proposed aggregation operators, we develop a new approach for multiple-attribute decision-making problems. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed approach, and the advantages of our approach are analyzed by comparison with other existing approaches.

AbstractOn the basis of the combination of single-valued neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, this article proposes a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) as a further generalization of the concepts of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, we introduce the basic operational relations and cosine measure function of SVNHFSs. Also, we develop a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (SVNHFWA) operator and a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric (SVNHFWG) operator and investigate their properties. Furthermore, a multiple-attribute decision-making method is established on the basis of the SVNHFWA and SVNHFWG operators and the cosine measure under a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy environment. Finally, an illustrative example of investment alternatives is given to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the developed approach.

Under the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information environment, we investigate a multiattribute group decision making (MAGDM) method with continuous entropy weights and improved Hamacher information aggregation operators. Firstly, we introduce the axiomatic definition of entropy for interval-valued hesitant fuzzy elements (IVHFEs) and construct a continuous entropy formula on the basis of the continuous ordered weighted averaging (COWA) operator. Then, based on the Hamachert-norm andt-conorm, the adjusted operational laws for IVHFEs are defined. In order to aggregate interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information, some new improved interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher aggregation operators are investigated, including the improved interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted averaging (I-IVHFHOWA) operator and the improved interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted geometric (I-IVHFHOWG) operator, the desirable properties of which are discussed. In addition, the relationship among these proposed operators is analyzed in detail. Applying the continuous entropy and the proposed operators, an approach to MAGDM is developed. Finally, a numerical example for emergency operating center (EOC) selection is provided, and comparative analyses with existing methods are performed to demonstrate that the proposed approach is both valid and practical to deal with group decision making problems.

The interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy set (IVDHFS) can depict the imprecise, vague and indeterminate information and Heronian mean (HM) has the prominent characteristic of capturing the correlation of the aggregated arguments. In this paper, we investigate multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems based on HM, in which the attribute values are assumed in the form of interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy information. Firstly, we briefly present some concepts of IVDHFS and HM. Then, we propose the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy Heronian mean (IVDHFHM) operator and the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy geometric Heronian mean (IVDHFGHM) operator. We also prove that they satisfy some desirable properties. Further, we consider the importance of the input arguments and derive the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy weighted Heronian mean (IVDHFWHM) operator and the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric Heronian mean (IVDHFWGHM) operator, and then develop the procedure of MADM. Finally, an illustrate example is given to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the new approach.

Based on the probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information aggregation operators, this paper investigates a novel multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) model to address the serious loss of information in a hesitant fuzzy information environment. Firstly, the definition of probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set will be introduced, and then, using Archimedean norm, some new probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy operations are defined. Secondly, based on these operations, the generalized probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (GPIVHFOWA) operator, and the generalized probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (GPIVHFOWG) operator are proposed, and their desirable properties are discussed. We further study their common forms and analyze the relationship among these proposed operators. Finally, a new probabilistic interval-valued hesitant fuzzy MAGDM model is constructed, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model are verified by using an example of supplier selection.

Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets are widely watched because of their excellent ability to deal with uncertainty, imprecise and vague information. This paper extends Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environments to interval-valued Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environments and proposes the concept of interval-valued Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy set (IVPHFS), which allows the membership of each object to be a set of several pairs of possible interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy elements. Furthermore, we develop a series of aggregation operators for interval-valued Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy information and apply them to multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. Then, some desired operational laws and properties of IVPHFSs are studied. Especially, considering an interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy element (IVPHFE) is formed by several pairs of interval values, this paper proposes the concepts of score function and accuracy function in the form of two interval numbers which can retain interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information as much as possible. Then, the relationship among these operators is discussed by comparing the interval numbers. Eventually, an illustrative example fully shows the feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Special Case

The uncertainty and concurrence of randomness are considered when many practical problems are dealt with. To describe the aleatory uncertainty and imprecision in a neutrosophic environment and prevent the obliteration of more data, the concept of the probabilistic single-valued (interval) neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set is introduced. By definition, we know that the probabilistic single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (PSVNHFS) is a special case of the probabilistic interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (PINHFS). PSVNHFSs can satisfy all the properties of PINHFSs. An example is given to illustrate that PINHFS compared to PSVNHFS is more general. Then, PINHFS is the main research object. The basic operational relations of PINHFS are studied, and the comparison method of probabilistic interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy numbers (PINHFNs) is proposed. Then, the probabilistic interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (PINHFWA) and the probability interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric (PINHFWG) operators are presented. Some basic properties are investigated. Next, based on the PINHFWA and PINHFWG operators, a decision-making method under a probabilistic interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy circumstance is established. Finally, we apply this method to the issue of investment options. The validity and application of the new approach is demonstrated.

Hesitant fuzzy sets, permitting the membership of an element to be a set of several possible values, can be used as an efficient mathematical tool for modelling people’s hesitancy in daily life. In this paper, we extend the hesitant fuzzy set to interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environments and propose the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set, which allows the membership of an element to be a set of several possible interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The aim of this paper is to develop a series of aggregation operators for interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy information. Then, some desired properties of the developed operators are studied, and the relationships among these operators are discussed. Furthermore, we apply these aggregation operators to develop an approach to multiple attribute group decision-making with interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy information. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the application of the developed approach.

As a powerful generalization to fuzzy set, hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) was introduced, which provided multiple possible membership values to be associated with a specific instance. But HFS did not consider occurrence probability values, and to circumvent the issue, probabilistic HFS (PHFS) was introduced, which associates an occurrence probability value with each hesitant fuzzy element (HFE). Providing such a precise probability value is an open challenge and as a generalization to PHFS, interval-valued PHFS (IVPHFS) was proposed. IVPHFS provided flexibility to decision makers (DMs) by associating a range of values as an occurrence probability for each HFE. To enrich the usefulness of IVPHFS in multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM), in this paper, we extend the Muirhead mean (MM) operator to IVPHFS for aggregating preferences. The MM operator is a generalized operator that can effectively capture the interrelationship between multiple attributes. Some properties of the proposed operator are also discussed. Then, a new programming model is proposed for calculating the weights of attributes using DMs’ partial information. Later, a systematic procedure is presented for MAGDM with the proposed operator and the practical use of the operator is demonstrated by using a renewable energy source selection problem. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal are discussed in comparison with other methods.
