Algorithms for complex interval‐valued q‐rung orthopair fuzzy sets in decision making based on aggregation operators,AHP, and TOPSIS

The interval‐valued q‐rung orthopair fuzzy set (IVq‐ROFS) and complex fuzzy set (CFS) are two generalizations of the fuzzy set (FS) to cope with uncertain information in real decision making problems. The aim of the present work is to develop the concept of complex interval‐valued q‐rung orthopair fuzzy set (CIVq‐ROFS) as a generalization of interval‐valued complex fuzzy set (IVCFS) and q‐rung orthopair fuzzy set (q‐ROFS), which can better express the time‐periodic problems and two‐dimensional information in a single set. In this article not only basic properties of CIVq‐ROFSs are discussed but also averaging aggregation operator (AAO) and geometric aggregation operator (GAO) with some desirable properties and operations on CIVq‐ROFSs are discussed. The proposed operations are the extension of the operations of IVq‐ROFS, q‐ROFS, interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy, Pythagorean fuzzy (PF), interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, complex q‐ROFS, complex PF, and complex intuitionistic fuzzy theories. Further, the Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method are also examine based on CIVq‐ROFS to explore the reliability and proficiency of the work. Moreover, we discussed the advantages of CIVq‐ROFS and showed that the concepts of IVCFS and q‐ROFS are the special cases of CIVq‐ROFS. Moreover, the flexibility of proposed averaging aggregation operator and geometric aggregation operator in a multi‐attribute decision making (MADM) problem are also discussed. Finally, a comparative study of CIVq‐ROFSs with pre‐existing work is discussed in detail.     

Some q‐rung orthopair fuzzy Heronian mean operators in multiple attribute decision making

The generalized Heronian mean and geometric Heronian mean operators provide two aggregation operators that consider the interdependent phenomena among the aggregated arguments. In this paper, the generalized Heronian mean operator and geometric Heronian mean operator under the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy sets is studied. First, the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy generalized Heronian mean (q‐ROFGHM) operator, q‐rung orthopair fuzzy geometric Heronian mean (q‐ROFGHM) operator, q‐rung orthopair fuzzy generalized weighted Heronian mean (q‐ROFGWHM) operator, and q‐rung orthopair fuzzy weighted geometric Heronian mean (q‐ROFWGHM) operator are proposed, and some of their desirable properties are investigated in detail. Furthermore, we extend these operators to q‐rung orthopair 2‐tuple linguistic sets (q‐RO2TLSs). Then, an approach to multiple attribute decision making based on q‐ROFGWHM (q‐ROFWGHM) operator is proposed. Finally, a practical example for enterprise resource planning system selection is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

Aspects of generalized orthopair fuzzy sets

We introduce the idea of orthopair membership grades and the related idea of general orthopair fuzzy sets. It is noted that these generalize the intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets by allowing the support for and against membership to be almost anywhere in [0, 1] × [0, 1], giving systems modelers great freedom in capturing human knowledge. The aggregation of generalized orthopair fuzzy sets is considered with particular concern for the OWA and Choquet aggregation. The concepts of possibility and certainty as well as plausibility and belief are investigated in this general orthopair environment. We study arithmetic operations on general orthopair fuzzy sets. We show how to obtain associated interval valued fuzzy sets from general orthopair fuzzy sets.

On generalized similarity measures for Pythagorean fuzzy sets and their applications to multiple attribute decision-making

In this paper, we develop a new and flexible method for Pythagorean fuzzy decision-making using some trigonometric similarity measures. We first introduce two new generalized similarity measures between Pythagorean fuzzy sets based on cosine and cotangent functions and prove their validity. These similarity measures include some well-known Pythagorean fuzzy similarity measures as their particular and limiting cases. The measures are demonstrated to satisfy some very elegant properties which prepare the ground for applications in different areas. Further, the work defines a generalized hybrid trigonometric Pythagorean fuzzy similarity measure and discuss its properties with particular cases. Then, based on the generalized hybrid trigonometric Pythagorean fuzzy similarity measure, a method for dealing with multiple attribute decision-making problems under Pythagorean fuzzy environment is developed. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the flexibility and effectiveness of the developed approach in solving real-life problems.     

A new ranking technique for q‐rung orthopair fuzzy values

In intuitionistic fuzzy set and their generalizations such as Pythagorean fuzzy sets and q‐rung orthopair fuzzy sets, ranking is not easy to define. There are several techniques available in literature for ranking values in above mentioned orthopair fuzzy sets. It is interesting to see that almost all the proposed ranking methods produce distinct ranking. Notion of knowledge base is very important to study ranking proposed by different techniques. Aim of this paper is to critically analyze the available ranking techniques for q‐rung orthopair fuzzy values and propose a new graphical ranking method based on hesitancy index and entropy. Several numerical examples are tested with the proposed technique, which shows that the technique is intuitive and convenient for real life applications.

On averaging operators for Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set (AIFS) is a generalization of a fuzzy set. There are various averaging operators defined for AIFSs. These operators are not consistent with the limiting case of ordinary fuzzy sets, which is undesirable. We show how such averaging operators can be represented by using additive generators of the product triangular norm, which simplifies and extends the existing constructions. We provide two generalizations of the existing methods for other averaging operators. We relate operations on AIFS with operations on interval-valued fuzzy sets. Finally, we propose a new construction method based on the ?ukasiewicz triangular norm, which is consistent with operations on ordinary fuzzy sets, and therefore is a true generalization of such operations.     

The fuzzy cross-entropy for intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets and their application in multi-criteria decision-making

In this paper, the cross-entropy of intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets (IHFSs) is developed by integrating the cross-entropy of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). First, several measurement formulae are discussed and their properties are studied. Then, two approaches, which are based on the developed intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy cross-entropy, are proposed for solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems within an intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy environment. For both methods, an optimisation model is established in order to determine the weight vector for MCDM problems with incomplete information on criteria weights. Finally, an example is provided in order to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy sets and its applications in multiattribute decision‐making process

In this article, a new linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy set (LPFS) is presented by combining the concepts of a Pythagorean fuzzy set and linguistic fuzzy set. LPFS is a better way to deal with the uncertain and imprecise information in decision making, which is characterized by linguistic membership and nonmembership degrees. Some of the basic operational laws, score, and accuracy functions are defined to compare the two or more linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy numbers and their properties are investigated in detail. Based on the norm operations, some series of the linguistic Pythagorean weighted averaging and geometric aggregation operators, named as linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy weighted average and geometric, ordered weighted average and geometric with linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy information are proposed. Furthermore, a multiattribute decision‐making method is established based on these operators. Finally, an illustrative example is used to illustrate the applicability and validity of the proposed approach and compare the results with the existing methods to show the effectiveness of it.

Distance and similarity measures of Pythagorean fuzzy sets and their applications to multiple criteria group decision making

The main feature of Pythagorean fuzzy sets is that it is characterized by five parameters, namely membership degree, nonmembership degree, hesitancy degree, strength of commitment about membership, and direction of commitment. In this paper, we first investigate four existing comparison methods for ranking Pythagorean fuzzy sets and point out by examples that the method proposed by Yager, which considers the influence fully of the five parameters, is more efficient than the other ones. Later, we propose a variety of distance measures for Pythagorean fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy numbers, which take into account the five parameters of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. Based on the proposed distance measures, we present some similarity measures of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. Furthermore, a multiple criteria Pythagorean fuzzy group decision‐making approach is proposed. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the validity and applicability of the presented group decision‐making method.     

Some methods for strategic decision‐making problems with immediate probabilities in Pythagorean fuzzy environment

In this article, a new decision‐making model with probabilistic information and using the concept of immediate probabilities has been developed to aggregate the information under the Pythagorean fuzzy set environment. In it, the existing probabilities have been modified by introducing the attitudinal character of the decision maker by using an ordered weighted average operator. Based on it, we have developed some new probabilistic aggregation operator with Pythagorean fuzzy information, namely probabilistic Pythagorean fuzzy weighted average operator, immediate probability Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted average operator, probabilistic Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted average, probabilistic Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric operator, immediate probability Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted geometric operator, probabilistic Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted geometric, etc. Furthermore, we extended these operators by taking interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy information and developed their corresponding aggregation operators. Few properties of these operators have also been investigated. Finally, an illustrative example about the selection of the optimal production strategy has been given to show the utility of the developed method.
