Performance Evaluation of Solar Energy Cells Using the Interval-Valued T-Spherical Fuzzy Bonferroni Mean Operators

To find the correspondence between every number of attributes, the Bonferroni mean (BM) operator is most widely used and proven to be a flexible approach. To express uncertain information, the frame of the interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy set (IVTSFS) is a recent development in fuzzy settings which discusses four aspects of uncertain information using closed sub-intervals of 0, 1 and hence reduces the information loss greatly. In this research study, we introduced the principle of BM operators with IVTSFS to develop the principle of the inter-valued T-spherical fuzzy (IVTSF) BM (IVTSFBM) operator, the IVTSF-weighted BM (IVTSFWBM) operator, the IVTSF geometric BM (IVTSFGBM) operator, and the IVTSF-weighted geometric BM (IVTSFWGBM) operator. To see the significance of the proposed BM operators, we applied these BM operators to evaluate the performance of solar cells that play an important role in the field of energy storage. To do so, we developed a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) procedure based on IVTSF information and applied it to the problem of solar cells to evaluate their performance under uncertainty, where four aspects of opinion about solar cells were taken into consideration. We studied the results obtained using BM operators with some previous operators to see the significance of the proposed IVTSF BM operators.

Covering-based compound mean operators arising from Heronian and Bonferroni mean operators in fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy environments

Both Heronian mean (HM) operators and Bonferroni mean (BM) operators can capture the interrelationship between input arguments and have been a hot research topic as a useful aggregation technique in fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy environments. In this paper, associated with the common characters of these operators we propose the covering-based compound mean operators in fuzzy environments to capture various interrelationships between input arguments, some desirable properties and special cases of the proposed mean operators are provided. Then, conditions under which these covering-based compound mean operators can be directly used to aggregate the membership degrees and nonmembership degrees of intuitionistic fuzzy information, are provided. In particular, novel intuitionistic fuzzy HM operators and intuitionistic fuzzy BM operators are directly derived from the classical ones. We list the detailed steps of multiple attribute decision making with the developed aggregation operators, and give a comparison of the new extensions of BM operators by this paper with the corresponding existing ones to prove the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed method.
