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.

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.

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.

AbstractThe paper aims to present an integrated approach to solve the decision-making problem under the probabilistic hesitant fuzzy information (PHFI) features, which is an extension of the hesitant fuzzy set. The considered PHFI not only allows multiple opinions, but also associates occurrence probability to each opinion, which increases the reliability of the information. Motivated by these features of PHFI, an approach is presented to solve the decision problem with partial known information about the attribute and expert weights. In addition, an algorithm for finding some missing values in the preference information is presented and stated their properties. Afterward, the Hamy mean operator has been used to aggregate the different collective information into a single one. Also, we presented a COPRAS method to the PHFI for ranking the given alternatives. The presented algorithm has been demonstrated through a case study of cloud vendor selection and its validity has been revealed by comparing the approach results with the several existing algorithm results.

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.

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.

As a generalized form of both intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy sets, the q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS) has strong ability to handle uncertain or imprecision decisionmaking problems. This paper aims to introduce a new multiple criteria decision making method based on the original gain and lost dominance score (GLDS) method for investment evaluation. To do so, we first propose a new distance measure of q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q-ROFNs), which takes into account the hesitancy degree of q-ROFNs. Subsequently, two methods are developed to determine the weights of DMs and criteria, respectively. Next, the original GLDS method is improved from the aspects of dominance flows and order scores of alternatives to address the multiple criteria decision making problems with q-ROFS information. Finally, a case study concerning the investment evaluation of the BE angle capital is given to illustrate the applicability and superiority of the proposed method.

Bidimensional dual hesitant fuzzy (BDHF) set is developed to present preferences of a decision maker or an expert, which is more objective than existing fuzzy sets such as Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, after investigating some distance measures, we define a new generalized distance measure between two BDHF elements with parameterλfor the sake of overcoming some drawbacks in existing distance measures. Covering all possible values of parameterλ, a new approach is designed to calculate the generalized distance measure between two BDHF elements. In order to address complex multiple attribute decision analysis (MADA) problems, an extension of fuzzy VIKOR method in BDHF context is proposed in this paper. In VIKOR method for MADA problems, weight of each attribute indicates its relative importance. To obtain weights of attributes objectively, a new entropy measure with BDHF information is developed to create weight of each attribute. Finally, an evaluation problem of performance of people’s livelihood project in several regions is analyzed by the proposed VIKOR method to demonstrate its applicability and validity.

Making decisions are very common in the modern socio-economic environments. However, with the increasing complexity of the social, today’s decision makers (DMs) face such problems in which they hesitate and irresolute to provide their views. To cope with these uncertainties, many generalizations of fuzzy sets are designed, among them dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) is quite resourceful and efficient in solving problems of a more vague nature. In this article, a novel concept called proportional dual hesitant fuzzy set (PDHFS) is proposed to further improve DHFS. The PDHFS is a flexible tool composed of some possible membership values and some possible non-membership values along with their associated proportions. In the theme of PDHFS, the proportions of membership values and non-membership values are considered to be independent. Some basic operations, properties, distance measure and comparison method are studied for the proposed set. Thereafter, a novel approach based on PDHFSs is developed to solve problems for multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) in a fuzzy situation. It is totally different from the traditional approach. Finally, a practical example is given in order to elaborate the proposed method for the selection of the best alternative and detailed comparative analysis is given in order to validate the practicality.
