The paper aims to present a concept of a Complex interval-valued q-rung orthopair uncertain linguistic set (CIVQROULS) and investigated their properties. In the presented set, the membership grades are considered in terms of the interval numbers under the complex domain while the linguistic features are added to address the uncertainties in the data. To further discuss more, we have presented the operation laws and score function for CIVQROULS. In addition to them, we present some averaging and geometric operators to aggregate the different pairs of the CIVQROULS. Some fundamental properties of the proposed operators are stated. Afterward, an algorithm for solving the decision-making problems is addressed based on the proposed operator using the CIVQROULS features. The applicability of the algorithm is demonstrated through a case study related to brain tumors and their effectiveness is compared with the existing studies.

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.

The third-party platform named ECO system is used by many transnational companies to monitor the sustainability performance of their global suppliers because of its easiness and shareability. Nonetheless, methods used in this platform for evaluating and calculating the sustainability performance of the alternative suppliers are criticized for their lack of accuracy. In response to these problems, this paper presents a heterogeneous multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy--an acronym in Portuguese for interactive multi-criteria decision making (IVIF--TODIM) to improve the efficiency of the evaluation model. Considering the varying features of evaluation criteria, i.e., either quantitative or qualitative, the evaluation values under different criteria are expressed in their appropriate information types. In this paper, a general method based on the relative closeness to the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method is applied for aggregating the heterogeneous assessment information, including crisp numbers, interval numbers, and triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs), into interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs). Then, the TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for interactive multi-criteria decision making) is extended and employed to prioritize the alternative suppliers. Finally, the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a practical example of polymer manufacturing company and a comparison analysis with existing methods.

Abstract Many authors agree that the Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IVIFS) theory generates as realistic as possible evaluation of real-life problems. One of the real-life problems where IVIFSs are often preferred is the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problem. For this problem, the ranking of values obtained by fuzzing the opinions corresponding to alternatives is an important step, as a failure in ranking may lead to the selection of the wrong alternative. Therefore, the method used for ranking must have high performance. In this article, a new score function SKE and a new accuracy function HKE are developed to overcome the disadvantages of existing ranking functions for IVIFSs. Then, two illustrative examples of MCDM problems are presented to show the application of the proposed functions and to evaluate their effectiveness. Results show that the functions proposed have high performance and they are the eligibility for the MCDM problem.

Sustainable energy selection has been a very popular problem among the researchers and various models including deterministic, probabilistic and fuzzy approaches have been developed for the solution of this problem. Fuzzy approaches to sustainable energy selection problems have been often handled in the literature. Aggregation operators for multi-expert decision making problems are an alternative solution technique for multi criteria decision making problems. Since neutrosophic and intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are comparable extensions of ordinary fuzzy sets, they have been employed to aggregate multi-expert judgments. An illustrative energy selection problem is presented, solved by two approaches, and results are compared. The same linguistic data have been used for the comparison purpose.

In this paper, we investigate the multi-criteria decision-making complications under intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set (IFHSS) information. The IFHSS is a proper extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IFSS) which discusses the parametrization of multi-sub attributes of considered parameters, and accommodates more hesitation comparative to IFSS utilizing the multi sub-attributes of the considered parameters. The main objective of this research is to introduce operational laws for intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft numbers (IFHSNs). Additionally, based on developed operational laws two aggregation operators (AOs), i.e., intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft weighted average (IFHSWA) and intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft weighted geometric (IFHSWG), operators have been presented with their fundamental properties. Furthermore, a decision-making approach has been established utilizing our developed aggregation operators (AOs). Through the established approach, a technique for solving decision-making (DM) complications is proposed to select sustainable suppliers in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Moreover, a numerical description is presented to ensure the validity and usability of the proposed technique in the DM process. The practicality, effectivity, and flexibility of the current approach are demonstrated through comparative analysis with the assistance of some prevailing studies.

AbstractCubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets (CIFSs) are a powerful and relevant medium for expressing imprecise information to solve the decision-making problems. The conspicuous feature of their mathematical concept is that it considers simultaneously the hallmarks of both the intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and interval-valued IFSs. The present paper is divided into two parts: (i) defining the correlation measures for the CIFSs; (ii) introducing the decision-making algorithm for the CIFS information. Furthermore, few of the fundamental properties of these measures are examined in detail. Based on this, we define a novel algorithm to solve the multi-criteria decision-making process and illustrate numerical examples related to watershed’s hydrological geographical areas, global recruitment problem and so on. A contrastive analysis with several existing studies is also administered to test the effectiveness and verify the proposed method.
