A q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS), an extension of the Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) and intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), is very helpful in representing vague information that occurs in real-world circumstances. The intention of this article is to introduce several aggregation operators in the framework of q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q-ROFNs). The key feature of q-ROFNs is to deal with the situation when the sum of the qth powers of membership and non-membership grades of each alternative in the universe is less than one. The Einstein operators with their operational laws have excellent flexibility. Due to the flexible nature of these Einstein operational laws, we introduce the q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (q-ROFEWA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (q-ROFEOWA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric (q-ROFEWG) operator, and q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted geometric (q-ROFEOWG) operator. We discuss certain properties of these operators, inclusive of their ability that the aggregated value of a set of q-ROFNs is a unique q-ROFN. By utilizing the proposed Einstein operators, this article describes a robust multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique for solving real-world problems. Finally, a numerical example related to integrated energy modeling and sustainable energy planning is presented to justify the validity and feasibility of the proposed technique.

An q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is a generalized structure that covers the modern extensions of fuzzy set, including intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set, with an adjustable parameter q that makes it flexible and adaptable to describe the inexact information in decision making. The condition of q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, i.e., sum of q th power of membership degree and nonmembership degree is bounded by one, makes it highly competent and adequate to get over the limitations of existing models. The basic purpose of this study is to establish some aggregation operators under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment with Einstein norm operations. Motivated by innovative features of Einstein operators and dominant behavior of q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, some new aggregation operators, namely, q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging, q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging, generalized q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging and generalized q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging operators are defined. Furthermore, some properties related to proposed operators are presented. Moreover, multi-attribute decision making problems related to career selection, agriculture land selection and residential place selection are presented under these operators to show the capability and proficiency of this new idea. The comparison analysis with existing theories shows the superiorities of proposed model.

Interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set is one of the successful extensions of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set for handling the uncertainties in the data. Under this environment, in this paper, we introduce the notion of induced interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (I-IVPFEOWA) aggregation operator. Some of its desirable properties namely, idempotency, boundedness, commutatively, monotonicity have also been proved. The main advantage of using the proposed operator is that this operator gives a more complete view of the problem to the decision-makers. The method proposed in this paper provides more general, more accurate and precise results as compared to the existing methods. Therefore this method play a vital role in real world problems. Finally, we apply the proposed operator to deal with multi-attribute group decision- making problems under interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information. The approach has been illustrated with a numerical example from the field of the decision-making problems to show the validity, practicality and effectiveness of the new approach.

The complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (Cq-ROFS), an efficient generalization of complex intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS) and complex Pythagorean fuzzy set (CPFS), is potent tool to handle the two-dimensional information and has larger ability to translate the more uncertainty of human judgment then CPFS as it relaxes the constrains of CPFS and thus the space of allowable orthopair increases. To solve the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem by considering that criteria are at the same priority level may affect the results because in realistic situations the priority level of criteria is different. In this manuscript, we propose some useful prioritized AOs under Cq-ROF environment by considering the prioritization among attributes. We develop two prioritized AOs, namely complex q-rung orthropair fuzzy prioritized weighted averaging (C-qROFPWA) operator and complex q-rung orthropair fuzzy prioritized weighted geometric (Cq-ROFPWG) operator. We also consider their desirable properties and two special cases with their detailed proofs. Moreover, we investigate a new technique to solve the MCDM problem by initiating an algorithm along with flowchart on the bases of proposed operators. Further, we solve a practical example to reveal the importance of proposed AOs. Finally, we apply the existing operators on the same data to compare our computed result to check the superiority and validity of our proposed operators.

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) introduced by Yager (2013) is the extension of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) introduced by Atanassov (1983). PFS is also known as IFS of type-2. Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (PFSS), introduced by Peng et al. (2015) and later studied by Guleria and Bajaj (2019) and Naeem et al. (2019), are very helpful in representing vague information that occurs in real world circumstances. In this article, we introduce the notion of Pythagorean fuzzy soft topology (PFS-topology) defined on Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (PFSS). We define PFS-basis, PFS-subspace, PFS-interior, PFS-closure and boundary of PFSS. We introduce Pythagorean fuzzy soft separation axioms, Pythagorean fuzzy soft regular and normal spaces. Furthermore, we present an application of PFSSs to multiple criteria group decision making (MCGDM) using choice value method in the real world problems which yields the optimum results for investment in the stock exchange. We also render an application of PFS-topology in medical diagnosis using TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution). The applications are accompanied by Algorithms, flow charts and statistical diagrams.

A Fermatean fuzzy set is a more powerful tool to deal with uncertainties in the given information as compared to intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set and has energetic applications in decision-making. Aggregation operators are very helpful for assessing the given alternatives in the decision-making process, and their purpose is to integrate all the given individual evaluation values into a unified form. In this research article, some new aggregation operators are proposed under the Fermatean fuzzy set environment. Some deficiencies of the existing operators are discussed, and then, new operational law, by considering the interaction between the membership degree and nonmembership degree, is discussed to reduce the drawbacks of existing theories. Based on Hamacher’s norm operations, new averaging operators, namely, Fermatean fuzzy Hamacher interactive weighted averaging, Fermatean fuzzy Hamacher interactive ordered weighted averaging, and Fermatean fuzzy Hamacher interactive hybrid weighted averaging operators, are introduced. Some interesting properties related to these operators are also presented. To get the optimal alternative, a multiattribute group decision-making method has been given under proposed operators. Furthermore, we have explicated the comparison analysis between the proposed and existing theories for the exactness and validity of the proposed work.

The linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS) has been proved to be an efficient tool in expressing decision maker (DM) evaluation values in multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) procedure. To more effectively represent DMs’ evaluation information in complicated MCDM process, this paper proposes a MCDM method based on proposed novel aggregation operators (AOs) under linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS). A q -Rung orthopair fuzzy set ( q -ROFS), Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), and intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) are rudimentary concepts in computational intelligence, which have diverse applications in modeling uncertainty and MCDM. Unfortunately, these theories have their own limitations related to the membership and nonmembership grades. The linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS) is a new approach towards uncertainty which has the ability to relax the strict constraints of IFS, PFS, and q –ROFS by considering reference/control parameters. LDFS provides an appropriate way to the decision experts (DEs) in order to deal with vague and uncertain information in a comprehensive way. Under these environments, we introduce several AOs named as linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (LDFEWA) operator, linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (LDFEOWA) operator, linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric (LDFEWG) operator, and linear Diophantine fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted geometric (LDFEOWG) operator. We investigate certain characteristics and operational laws with some illustrations. Ultimately, an innovative approach for MCDM under the linear Diophantine fuzzy information is examined by implementing suggested aggregation operators. A useful example related to a country’s national health administration (NHA) to create a fully developed postacute care (PAC) model network for the health recovery of patients suffering from cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) is exhibited to specify the practicability and efficacy of the intended approach.

As a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS) is a new concept in describing complex fuzzy uncertainty information. The present work focuses on the multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy information. To begin with, some drawbacks of the existing MAGDM methods based on aggregation operators (AOs) are firstly analyzed. In addition, some improved operational laws put forward to overcome the drawbacks along with some properties of the operational law are proved. Thirdly, we put forward the improved q-rung orthopair fuzzy-weighted averaging (q-IROFWA) aggregation operator and improved q-rung orthopair fuzzy-weighted power averaging (q-IROFWPA) aggregation operator and present some of their properties. Then, based on the q-IROFWA operator and q-IROFWPA operator, we proposed a new method to deal with MAGDM problems under the fuzzy environment. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

The purpose of this article is to develop some general aggregation operators (AOs) based on Einstein’s norm operations, to cumulate the Fermatean fuzzy data in decision-making environments. A Fermatean fuzzy set (FFS), possessing the more flexible structure than the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), is a competent tool to handle vague information in the decision-making process by the means of membership degree (MD) and nonmembership degree (NMD). Our target is to empower the AOs using the theoretical basis of Einstein norms for the FFS to establish some advantageous operators, namely, Fermatean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (FFEWA), Fermatean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (FFEOWA), generalized Fermatean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (GFFEWA), and generalized Fermatean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (GFFEOWA) operators. Some properties and important results of the proposed operators are highlighted. As an addition to the MADM strategies, an approach, based on the proposed operators, is presented to deal with Fermatean fuzzy data in MADM problems. Moreover, multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problem for the selection of an effective sanitizer to reduce coronavirus is presented to show the capability and proficiency of this new idea. The results are compared with the Fermatean fuzzy TOPSIS method to exhibit the potency of the proposed model.

Recently, Yager presented the new concept of q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) set (q-ROFS) which emerged as the most significant generalization of Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS). From the analysis of q-ROFS, it is clear that the rung q is the most significant feature of this notion. When the rung q increases, the orthopair adjusts in the boundary range which is needed. Thus, the input range of q-ROFS is more flexible, resilient, and suitable than the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and PFS. The aim of this manuscript is to investigate the hybrid concept of soft set ( S t S) and rough set with the notion of q-ROFS to obtain the new notion of q-ROF soft rough (q-ROF S t R) set (q-ROF S t RS). In addition, some averaging aggregation operators such as q-ROF S t R weighted averaging (q-ROF S t RWA), q-ROF S t R ordered weighted averaging (q-ROF S t ROWA), and q-ROF S t R hybrid averaging (q-ROF S t RHA) operators are presented. Then, the basic desirable properties of these investigated averaging operators are discussed in detail. Moreover, we investigated the geometric aggregation operators, such as q-ROF S t R weighted geometric (q-ROF S t RWG), q-ROF S t R ordered weighted geometric (q-ROF S t ROWG), and q-ROF S t R hybrid geometric (q-ROF S t RHG) operators, and proposed the basic desirable characteristics of the investigated geometric operators. The technique for multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) and the stepwise algorithm for decision-making by utilizing the proposed approaches are demonstrated clearly. Finally, a numerical example for the developed approach is presented and a comparative study of the investigated models with some existing methods is brought to light in detail which shows that the initiated models are more effective and useful than the existing methodologies.

Abstract Pythagorean fuzzy set is one of the successful extensions of the intuitionistic fuzzy set for handling uncertainties in information. Under this environment, in this paper, we introduce the notion of Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein hybrid averaging (PFEHA) aggregation operator along with some of its properties, namely idempotency, boundedness, and monotonicity. PFEHA aggregation operator is the generalization of Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging aggregation operator and Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging aggregation operator. The operator proposed in this paper provides more accurate and precise results as compared to the existing operators. Therefore, this method plays a vital role in real-world problems. Finally, we applied the proposed operator and method to multiple-attribute group decision making.
