q-Rung orthopair fuzzy Choquet integral aggregation and its application in heterogeneous multicriteria two-sided matching decision making

In the real decision making, -rung orthopair fuzzy sets (-ROFSs) as a novel effective tool can depict and handle uncertain information in a broader perspective. Considering the interrelationships among the criteria, this paper extends Choquet integral to the -rung orthopair fuzzy environment and further investigates its application in multicriteria two-sided matching decision making. To determine the fuzzy measures used in Choquet integral, we first define a pair of -rung orthopair fuzzy entropy and cross-entropy. Then, by utilizing -fuzzy measure theory, we propose an entropy-based method to calculate the fuzzy measures upon criteria. Furthermore, we discuss -rung orthopair fuzzy Choquet integral operator and its properties. Thus, with the aid of -rung orthopair fuzzy Choquet integral, we consider the preference heterogeneity of the matching subjects and further explore the corresponding generalized model and approach for the two-sided matching. Finally, a simulated example of loan market matching is given to illustrate the validity and applicability of our proposed approach.
