Fermatean fuzzy linguistic (FFL) set theory provides an efficient tool for modeling a higher level of uncertain and imprecise information, which cannot be represented using intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic (IFL)/Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic (PFL) sets. On the other hand, the linguistic scale function (LSF) is the better way to consider the semantics of the linguistic terms during the evaluation process. It is worth noting that the existing operational laws and aggregation operators (AOs) for Fermatean fuzzy linguistic numbers (FFLNs) are not valid in many situations, which can generate errors in real-life applications. The present study aims to define new robust operational laws and AOs under Fermatean fuzzy linguistic environment. To do so, first, we define some new modified operational laws for FFLNs based on LSF and prove some important mathematical properties of them. Next, the work defines several new AOs, namely, the FFL-weighted averaging (FFLWA) operator, the FFL-weighted geometric (FFLWG) operator, the FFL-ordered weighted averaging (FFLOWA) operator, the FFL-ordered weighted geometric (FFLOWG) operator, the FFL-hybrid averaging (FFLHA) operator and the FFL-hybrid geometric (FFLHG) operator under Fermatean fuzzy linguistic environment. Several properties of these AOs are investigated in detail. Further, based on the proposed AOs, a new decision-making approach with Fermatean fuzzy linguistic information is developed to solve group decision-making problems with multiple attributes. Finally, to illustrate the effectiveness of the present approach, a real-life supplier selection problem is presented where the evaluation information of the alternatives is given in terms of FFLNs. Compared to the existing methods, the salient features of the developed approach are (1) it can solve decision-making problems with qualitative information data using FFLNs; (2) It can consider the attitudinal character of the decision-makers during the solution process; (3) It has a solid ability to distinguish the optimal alternative.

Interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy set (IVTSFS) handles uncertain and vague information by discussing their membership degree (MD), abstinence degree (AD), non-membership degree (NMD), and refusal degree (RD). MD, AD, NMD, and RD are defined in terms of closed subintervals of that reduce information loss compared to the T-spherical fuzzy set (TSFS), which takes crisp values from intervals; hence, some information may be lost. The purpose of this manuscript is to develop some Hamacher aggregation operators (HAOs) in the environment of IVTSFSs. To do so, some Hamacher operational laws based on Hamacher t-norms (HTNs) and Hamacher t-conorms (HTCNs) are introduced. Using Hamacher operational laws, we develop some aggregation operators (AOs), including an interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy Hamacher (IVTSFH) weighted averaging (IVTSFHWA) operator, an IVTSFH-ordered weighted averaging (IVTSFHOWA) operator, an IVTSFH hybrid averaging (IVTSFHHA) operator, an IVTSFH-weighted geometric (IVTSFHWG) operator, an IVTSFH-ordered weighted geometric (IVTSFHOWG) operator, and an IVTSFH hybrid geometric (IVTSFHHG) operator. The validation of the newly developed HAOs is investigated, and their basic properties are examined. In view of some restrictions, the generalization and proposed HAOs are shown, and a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) procedure is explored based on the HAOs, which are further exemplified. Finally, a comparative analysis of the proposed work is also discussed with previous literature to show the superiority of our work.

Abstract The linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy set (LPFS) is a prominent tool for comprehensively representing qualitative information data. Aggregation operators (AOs) play an essential role in multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. In the present manuscript, we define four new operational laws for linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (LPFNs) based on Archimedean t-norm and t-conorm. Paper also uses the linguistic scale function (LSF) in order to accommodate different semantic situations during the operational process. Next, we introduce some new generalized arithmetic AOs, including the generalized Archimedean linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging (GALPFWA) operator, the generalized Archimedean linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (GALPFOWA) operator, the generalized Archimedean linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid averaging (GALPFHA) operator along with their desirable properties. The developed AOs include several existing linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy aggregation operators as their particular and limiting cases. Finally, using the proposed AOs, a new approach for solving the MAGDM problem is given and illustrated with a real-life numerical example to demonstrate its flexibility and effectiveness.

An approach to multiple attribute group decision making with linguistic information is developed based on the TCHFEWA and the TCHFEHWA operators. Furthermore, we establish various properties of these operators and derive the relationship between the proposed operators and the existing aggregation operators. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the established approach.

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, in which the attribute weights take the form of real numbers, and the attribute values take the form of fuzzy linguistic scale variables, a decision analysis approach is proposed. In this paper, we develop a new fuzzy linguistic induce OWA (FLIOWA) operator and analyze the properties of it by utilizing some operational laws of fuzzy linguistic scale variables. A method based on the FLIOWA operators for multiple attribute group decision making is presented. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

These operation are more generalized operation for credibility fuzzy numnbers, we apply these operations to aggregation operators for credibility fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, using the basic operational laws of Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm, we develop a series of credibility fuzzy Hamacher aggregation operators like credibility fuzzy Hamacher weighted averaging (CFHWA) and credibility fuzzy Hamacher geometric (CFHWG) aggregation operators. we also explained some of the proposed Hamacher aggregation operators properties like commutativity, idempotency and monotonicity. In order to validate the proposed Hamacher aggregation operators for credibility fuzzy numbers, we develop general algorithm for decision making technique under credibility fuzzy numbers and using these operators. The proposed algorithm is apply to electricity crises in Pakistan problems. Finally a comparison with other existing methods is done to check the accuracy and validation of the proposed methods. At rest the proposed method is verified by other well known methods.

In this paper, the distance-based multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) approaches using multi-hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (MHFLTSs) are proposed. MHFLTSs can contain nonconsecutive and repetitive linguistic terms, so as to deal with repeated linguistic values in group decision-making. A multi-hesitant fuzzy linguistic term element (MHFLTE) can be produced by collecting the evaluation values of several decision-makers or given by one person who has uncertainty in evaluation. The corresponding set operations and comparison rules are defined and the generalized hesitant fuzzy linguistic distance for MHFLTEs is given based on the linguistic scale function. Then this distance is embedded into the TOPSIS, VIKOR and TODIM approaches for the purpose of solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in the context of multi-hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. With increasing concerns about deterioration in environment, organizations are obliged to carry out more environmental sustainable activities than before, such as progressive practices in green supply chain management (GSCM). Therefore, with respect to the application of MHFLTSs in GSCM, two illustrations for evaluating the related alternatives are finally provided, together with the sensitivity and comparison analysis, to show the validity and effectiveness of our proposal.

The interval neutrosophic set (INS) can make it easier to articulate incomplete, indeterminate, and inconsistent information, and the Schweizer-Sklar (Sh-Sk) t-norm (tm) and t-conorm (tcm) can make the information aggregation process more flexible due to a variable parameter. To take full advantage of INS and Sh-Sk operations, in this article, we expanded the Sh-Sk and to IN numbers (INNs) in which the variable parameter takes values from , develop the Sh-Sk operational laws for INNs and discussed its desirable properties. After that, based on these newly developed operational laws, two types of generalized prioritized aggregation operators are established, the generalized IN Sh-Sk prioritized weighted averaging (INSh-SkPWA) operator and the generalized IN Sh-Sk prioritized weighted geometric (INSh-SkPWG) operator. Additionally, we swot a number of valuable characteristics of these intended aggregation operators (AGOs) and created two novel decision-making models to match with multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems under IN information established on INSh-SkPWA and INSh-SkPRWG operators. Finally, an expressive example regarding evaluating the technological innovation capability for the high-tech enterprises is specified to confirm the efficacy of the intended models.

Consider the various types of uncertain preference information provided by the decision makers and the importance of determining the associated weights for the aggregation operator, the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) methods based on some dependent interval 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators are proposed in this paper. Firstly some operational laws and possibility degree of interval 2-tuple linguistic variables are introduced. Then, we develop a dependent interval 2-tuple weighted averaging (DITWA) operator and a dependent interval 2-tuple weighted geometric (DITWG) operator, in which the associated weights only depend on the aggregated interval 2-tuple arguments and can relieve the influence of unfair arguments on the aggregated results by assigning low weights to them. Based on the DITWA and the DITWG operators, some approaches for multiple attribute group decision making with interval 2-tuple linguistic information are proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
