A new decision-making model using complex intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher aggregation operators

A complex intuitionistic fuzzy (CIF) set contains the membership and non-membership in the shape of a complex number whose amplitude term and phase term are covered in the unit interval. Moreover, Hamacher interaction aggregation operators are the combination of two major operators, called Hamacher aggregation operators and interaction aggregation operators, and they are used to aggregate the collection of information into one value. In this manuscript, we present the concept of Hamacher interaction operational laws for CIF sets (CIFSs). Further, we develop the CIF Hamacher interaction weighted averaging (CIFHIWA) operator, CIF Hamacher interaction ordered weighted averaging (CIFHIOWA) operator, CIF Hamacher interaction weighted geometric (CIFHIWG) operator, and CIF Hamacher interaction ordered weighted geometric (CIFHIOWG) operator. For these operators, we also discuss some basic properties, such as idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness. Additionally, we develop a MADM method based on the developed operators and apply it to solve the green supply chain management problems, which can implement environmentally friendly practices to minimize carbon emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation while promoting long-term sustainability. Finally, we verify the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method based on a comparative analysis between the proposed techniques and existing methods.

Since traffic congestion is a major issue worldwide, particularly in urban areas due to the increasing population on a daily basis, it negatively impacts human life, leading to time wastage, health problems, and economic repercussions. Therefore, establishing a sustainable transportation system in densely populated urban areas is crucial. To overcome this challenge, various factors on which a sustainable transportation system depends must be deeply analyzed. However, this analysis may involve fuzziness and vagueness due to imprecise data and incomplete information. In this regard, a mathematical framework called the Complex Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypersoft Set (CIFHSS) is introduced in this research. This article presents and thoroughly investigates essential set-theoretical operations based on the complex intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set, using appropriate examples. Furthermore a novel Multi-Attribute Decision Making approach, based on the CIFHSS is developed. This approach incorporates decision-valued matrices (both maximum and minimum), a scoring framework for CIFHSS, and matrix-based aggregations, such as the core matrix. Moreover, the algorithm is implemented in a real-world scenario to solve traffic congestion in urban areas, demonstrating the versatility of the proposed algorithm. The model assigns scores of 0.6161 to the Electric Bus Rapid Transit system, 0.6089 to the Expanded Bicycle Lane Network, 0.6571 to Light Rail Transit, and 0.7627 to the Hybrid Car-Sharing Program, identifying the latter as the most suitable option. A sensitivity analysis of the proposed model is also presented using statistical tools. Finally, a detailed conclusion and future directions for the application of this research are provided.

Invented by Frank in 1979, Frank’s t-norm and t-conorm operations possess improved modifications and can be applied more generally than the existing algebraic t-norm and t-conorm. The major objective of this article is to determine Frank’s operational laws based on complex intuitionistic fuzzy (CIF) information. Moreover, we examine the Frank aggregation operators (averaging and geometric) based on CIF set theory and Frank operational laws, such as the CIF Frank weighted averaging (CIFFWA) operator, CIF Frank ordered weighted averaging (CIFFOWA) operator, CIF Frank hybrid averaging (CIFFHA) operator, CIF Frank weighted geometric (CIFFWG) operator, CIF Frank ordered weighted geometric (CIFFOWG) operator and CIF Frank hybrid geometric (CIFFHG) operator. Some dominant and feasible properties of the invented techniques are also stated. Additionally, to evaluate the problem of osteoporosis in human bodies based on their causes and risk factors, we illustrate an application of the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique with consideration of the invented methods to show the supremacy and validity of the derived techniques. Finally, we aim to compare the proposed scenarios with some valid existing or prevailing techniques to increase the value of the presented approaches.

Complex intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS) is a special intuitionistic fuzzy set where the membership and non-membership degrees are expressed by a complex-valued membership degree and can more easily describe the vagueness and uncertainty in the real world. Archimedean t-conorm and t-norm (ATT), as an important class of the t-norm (TN) and t-conorm (TC), have greater flexibility in the information fusion process. In this paper, we extend the ATT to CIFSs and present some generalized geometric aggregation operators, which can be used to handle the multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. For it, we firstly define some new operational laws of the CIFSs based on ATT, then some weighted geometric aggregation operators based on proposed operations are proposed. Further, some desirable properties and special cases of them are studied. Finally, a decision-making approach is developed for the MCDM problem with complex intuitionistic fuzzy information. A practical example is given to show the availability and advantages of the proposed method by comparison with some existing methods. The proposed aggregation operators are more generalized than the existing ones to utilize the uncertain and imprecise information. Several existing operators are considered as special cases of the proposed one. Finally, the proposed method will offer various choices to the decision-maker to access the finest alternatives.

Complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (CQROFSs) are proposed to convey vague material in decision-making problems. The CQROFSs can enthusiastically modify the region of proof by altering the factor q ≥ 1 for real and imaginary parts based on the variation degree and, therefore, favor further uncountable options. Consequently, this set reverses over the existing theories, such as complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets (CIFSs) and complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets (CPFS). In everyday life, there are repeated situations that can occur, which involve an impartial assertiveness of the decision-makers. To determine the best decision to handle such situations, in this study, we propose modern operational laws by joining the characteristics of the truth factor sum and collaboration between the truth degrees into the analysis for CQROFSs. Based on these principles, we determined several weighted averaging neutral aggregation operators (AOs) to collect the CQROF knowledge. Subsequently, we established an original multiattribute decision-making (MADM) procedure by using the demonstrated AOs based on CQROFS. To evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of reliability and consistency, of the proposed operators, they were applied to some numerical examples. A comparative analysis of the investigated operators and other existing operators was also performed to find the dominance and validity of the introduced MADM method.

As a generalization of complex fuzzy set (CFS), complex hesitation fuzzy set (CHFS) is a powerful tool to express two-dimensional fuzzy information, but it ignores the randomness that exists widely in real life. Considering the randomness and ambiguity often simultaneously occur in real-world problems, we come up with an innovative fuzzy set called complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (CPHFS) in this article, which is a joint extension of CFS and probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS). Moreover, we establish four basic operations for complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy element(CPHFE) and a series of useful operational laws are also developed. Secondly, several aggregation operators including complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging operator(CPHFWA), complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric operator(CPHFWG), complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy Heronian Mean operator(CPHFHM) and complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy Geometric Heronian Mean operator(CPHFGHM) as well as their weighted forms that can reflect the interrelationship among all decision attributes are proposed, which is of great use in multi-attribute decision making(MADM) or in multi-attribute group decision making(MAGDM) issues when we want to synthesize multiple evaluation values into one. Besides, we also present a number of valuable properties of these provided aggregation operators. Thirdly, a MADM process is built in the CPHF environment step by step based on the aggregation operators we have just established. Furthermore, we provide an example about purchasing a most suitable car to demonstrate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed decision process. Finally, we point out the superiorities of MADM in working under the CPHF environment through comparing it with the existing method and also offer some possible prospects for further research. The method displayed in this work can effectively solve the MADM problems where the decision-making information is described by CPHFEs and the attributes are interactive.

In some multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) models studying attributes’ interactive phenomena is very important for the minimizing decision risks. Usually, the Choquet integral type aggregations are considered in such problems. However, the Choquet integral aggregations do not consider all attributes’ interactions; therefore, in many cases, when these interactions are revealed in less degree, they do not perceive these interactions and their utility in MADM problems is less useful. For the decision of this problem, we create the Choquet integral-based new aggregation operators’ family which considers all pair interactions between attributes. The problem under the discrimination q-rung picture linguistic and q-rung orthopair fuzzy environments is considered. Construction of a 2-order additive fuzzy measure (TOAFM) involves pair interaction indices and importance values of attributes of a MADM model. Based on the attributes’ pair interactions for the identification of associated probabilities of a 2-order additive fuzzy measure, the Shapley entropy maximum principle is used. The associated probabilities q-rung picture linguistic weighted averaging (APs-q-RPLWA) and the associated probabilities q-rung picture linguistic weighted geometric (APs-q-RPLWG) aggregation operators are constructed with respect to TOAFM. For an uncertainty pole of experts’ evaluations on attributes regarding the possible alternatives, the associated probabilities of a fuzzy measure are used. The second pole of experts’ evaluations as arguments of the aggregation operators by discrimination q-rung picture linguistic values is presented. Discrimination q-rung picture linguistic evaluations specify the attribute’s dominant, neutral and non-dominant impacts on the selection of concrete alternative from all alternatives. Constructed operators consider the all relatedness between attributes in any consonant attribute structure. Main properties on the rightness of extensions are showed: APs-q-RPLWA and APs-q-RPLWG operators match with q-rung picture linguistic Choquet integral averaging and geometric operators for the lower and upper capacities of order two. The conjugation among the constructed operators is also considered. Connections between the new operators and the compositions of dual triangular norms (Tp,Spq) and (Tmin,Smax) are also constructed. Constructed operators are used in evaluation of a selection reliability index (SRI) of candidate service centers in the facility location selection problem, when small degree interactions are observed between attributes. In example MADM, the difference in optimal solutions is observed between the Choquet integral aggregation operators and their new extensions. The difference, however, is due to the need to use indices of all interactions between attributes.

<abstract><p>The fractional orthotriple fuzzy sets (FOFSs) are a generalized fuzzy set model that is more accurate, practical, and realistic. It is a more advanced version of the present fuzzy set models that can be used to identify false data in real-world scenarios. Compared to the picture fuzzy set and Spherical fuzzy set, the fractional orthotriple fuzzy set (FOFS) is a powerful tool. Additionally, aggregation operators are effective mathematical tools for condensing a set of finite values into one value that assist us in decision making (DM) challenges. Due to the generality of FOFS and the benefits of aggregation operators, we established two new aggregation operators in this article using the Frank t-norm and conorm operation, which we have renamed the fractional orthotriple fuzzy Choquet-Frank averaging (FOFCFA) and fractional orthotriple fuzzy Choquet-Frank geometric (FOFCFG) operators. A few of these aggregation operators' characteristics are also discussed. To demonstrate the efficacy of the introduced work, the multi-attribute decision making (MADM) algorithm is discussed along with applications. To demonstrate the validity and value of the suggested work, a comparison of the proposed work has also been provided.</p></abstract>

The paper aims are to propose a new concept called as complex picture fuzzy set (CPFS), as an extension of complex intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS). The addition of a neutral membership degree to the definition of CIFS makes CPFS a generalized form of CIFS. The uniqueness of this new theory lies in the capability to attain the wider range with the help of degree of neutral membership, non-membership, and membership. The range of values of membership degrees is broaden to the unit disk in a complex plane. We define elementary operations and properties of CPFSs and explore the MCDM issues with the help of CPFSs, based on Hamacher operations and some aggregation methods. Then, we introduce some operators to aggregate the CPF data, namely complex picture fuzzy Hamacher weighted averaging, ordered weighted averaging, hybrid averaging and complex picture fuzzy Hamacher weighted geometric, ordered weighted geometric and hybrid geometric operators, benefited from the basic Hamacher operations, and averaging, geometric aggregation techniques. We also construct MCDM problem using these operators and perform a calculation for the selection of best ERP system, to demonstrate the authenticity and efficiency of this manuscript. Moreover, we study a comparison to validate the consistency and superiority of our techniques.

An m-polar fuzzy set is a powerful mathematical model to analyze multipolar, multiattribute, and multi-index data. The m-polar fuzzy sets have appeared as a useful tool to portray uncertainty in multiattribute decision making. The purpose of this article is to analyze the aggregation operators under the m-polar fuzzy environment with the help of Dombi norm operations. In this article, we develop some averaging and geometric aggregation operators using Dombi t-norm and t-conorm to handle uncertainty in m-polar fuzzy (mF, henceforth) information, which are mF Dombi weighted averaging (mFDWA) operator, mF Dombi ordered weighted averaging (mFDOWA) operator, mF Dombi hybrid averaging (mFDHA) operator, mF Dombi weighted geometric (mFDWG) operator, mF Dombi weighted ordered geometric operator, and mF Dombi hybrid geometric (mFDHG) operator. We investigate properties, namely, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness, for the proposed operators. Moreover, we give an algorithm to solve multicriteria decision-making issues which involve mF information with mFDWA and mFDWG operators. To prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed model, we solve two numerical examples with our proposed models and give comparison with mF-ELECTRE-I approach (Akram et al. 2019) and mF Hamacher aggregation operators (Waseem et al. 2019). Finally, we check the effectiveness of the developed operators by a validity test.

<abstract><p>The main influence of this analysis is to derive two different types of aggregation operators under the consideration of algebraic <italic>t</italic>-norm and <italic>t</italic>-conorm and Einstein <italic>t</italic>-norm and <italic>t</italic>-conorm for CIF set theory. Because these operators are very effective for evaluating the collection of information into a singleton preference. For this, first, we discover the Algebraic and Einstein operational laws for CIF sets. Then, we aim to discover the theory of CCIFWA, CCIFOWA, CCIFWG, CCIFOWG operators and their valuable properties "idempotency, monotonicity and boundedness" and results. Furthermore, we also derive the theory of CCIFEWA, CCIFEOWA, CCIFEWG, CCIFEOWG operators and their valuable properties "idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness" and results. Some special cases of the derived work are also described in detail. Finally, we illustrate a MADM procedure under the consideration of derived operators to enhance the worth of the presented information. Finally, we compare the presented operators with various existing operators with the help of various suitable examples for showing the reliability and stability of the derived approaches.</p></abstract>

Complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (Cq-ROFS) become one of the effective tools to deal with unresolved and complex information. In recent years, a variety of multi-attribute decision making(MADM) methods have been developed in the Cq-ROFS environment, such as complex intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS) and complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets(CPFS). Cq-ROFS is superior to CIFs and CPFS, which can describe a wider range of uncertain information spaces. Therefore, this paper studies MADM based on Cq-ROFS. However, decision making experts may have personal biases. In order to reduce the influence of individual preference on decision-making, the dependent Hamacher aggregation operators for Complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets(Cq-ROFDHA) are proposed based on the Hamacher operation and dependent method. The operator can improve personal bias by assigning lower weights to biased evaluations (unduly high or unduly low values) and higher weights to mid values. Firstly, the basic operation rules, score function, distance and properties of Cq-ROFDHA are described. We then applied Cq-ROFDHA to service utility decisions for online health communities. Finally, we compare it with other aggregation factors. The results show that the Cq-ROFDHA operator has the advantages of consistency and superiority.

Machine learning language is very valuable for depicting different problems, especially computer language, data mining, data sciences, and machine language. The circular intuitionistic fuzzy set (C-IFS) is a flexible approach to fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Keep in mind the flexibility of C-IFS, decision-maker used C-IFS to cope with incomplete and redundant human opinions accurately. Furthermore, power operators are used for depicting or aggregating the collection of data into a singleton set. In this manuscript, we explore the power operators for circular intuitionistic fuzzy (C-IF) information, such as C-IF power weighted averaging (C-IFPWA) operator, C-IF power weighted ordered averaging (C-IFPWOA) operator, C-IF power weighted geometric (C-IFPWG) operator, and C-IF power weighted ordered geometric (C-IFPWOG) operator. Some properties of the above information are also stated. Additionally, we evaluate the procedure of the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique for resolving the utilization of the most suitable part of machine learning in complicated scenarios. Finally, we illustrate some numerical examples for addressing the comparison between proposed techniques and existing methods to show the effectiveness and reliability of the presented operators.

In this paper, we initiate the novel concept of complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroups and prove that every complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup generates two intuitionistic fuzzy subgroups. We extend this ideology to define the concept of level subsets of complex intuitionistic fuzzy set and discuss its various fundamental algebraic characteristics. We also show that the level subset of the complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroups is a subgroup. Furthermore, we investigate the homomorphic image and pre-image of complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup under group homomorphism. Moreover, we prove that the product of two complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroups is also a complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup and develop some new results about direct product of complex intuitionistic fuzzy subgroups.
