This paper aims to present Bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets (BVPHFSs) by combining bipolar fuzzy sets and probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs). PHFSs are a strong version of hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) in terms of evaluated as probabilistic of each element. Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs) are a set structure that argues that each alternative should be evaluated probabilistically. In this framework, the proposed cluster allows probabilistic evaluation of decision- makers' opinions as negative. Thus, this case proposes flexibility about selection of an element and aids to overcome with noise channels. Furthermore, some new aggregation operators are discussed called bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted average operator (BVPHFWA), Generalized bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted average operator (GBVPHFWA), bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric operator (BVPHFWG), Generalized bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric operator (GBVPHFWG), bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted arithmetic and geometric operator (BVPHFHWAG) and Generalized bipolar valued probabilistic hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted arithmetic and geometric (GBVPHFHWAG) and some basic properties are presented. A score function is defined ranking alternatives. Moreover, two different algorithms are put forward with helping to TOPSIS method and by using aggregation operators over BVPHFSs. The validity of proposed operators are analyzed with an example and results are compared in their own. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Renewable energy sources play an influential role in the world's climate and reduce the rate of harmful gasses such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and many other greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming. The theoretical concept of the T-spherical fuzzy (T-SF) set (T-SFS) is the most suitable model to evaluate energy resources under uncertainty. This article illustrates appropriate operations based on Dombi triangular norm and t-conorm. We derived a series of new aggregation approaches, such as T-SF Dombi Hamy mean (T-SFDHM) and T-SF weighted Dombi Hamy Mean (T-SFDWHM) operators. Further authors illustrated a list of new approaches such as T-SF Dual Dombi Hamy mean (T-SFDDHM), and T-SF Dombi weighted Dual Hamy mean (T-SFDWDHM) operators. Some exceptional cases and desirable properties of our derived approaches are also studied. We illustrate an application of renewable energy resources to be evaluated using a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) method. A case study was also studied to choose appropriate energy resources using our proposed methodology of the T-SFDWHM and T-SFDWDHM operators. To show the effectiveness and validity of our current methods, we compared the existing results with currently developed aggregation operators (AOs). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research work proposes a novel approach for multi stage decision analysis (MSDA) using innovative concepts of cubic intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS) theory. The paper introduces CIF-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) as a robust method for MSDA problems, particularly for the diagnosis of epilepsy disorders. To achieve this goal, new similarity measures (SMs) are developed for CIFS, including the Cosine angle between two vectors, a new distance measure, and the Cosine function, presented as three different types of Cosine similarity measures. The proposed CIF-TOPSIS approach is found to be suitable for precise value performance ratings and is expected to be a viable approach for case studies in the diagnosis of epilepsy disorders. The efficiency and reliability of the proposed MSDA methods is efficiently carried through numerical examples and comparative analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a novel complex neutrosophic soft expert set (CNSES) concept. The range of values of CNSES is extended to the unit circle in the complex plane by adding an additional term called the phase term which describes CNSES's elements in terms of the time aspect. CNSES is a hybrid structure of soft sets and single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) defined in a complex setting where the experts' opinions are included, thus making it highly suitable for use in decision-making problems that involve uncertain and indeterminate data where the time factor plays a key role in determining the final decision. Based on this new concept we define some concepts related to this notion as well as some basic operations namely the complement, union, intersection, AND and OR. The basic properties and relevant laws pertaining to this concept such as the De Morgan's laws are also verified. Lastly, we propose an algorithm to solve complex neutrosophic soft expert decision-making problem by converting it from the complex state to the real state and subsequently provided the detailed decision steps. This study is supported by the comparison with other existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of neutrosophic vague soft expert sets (NVSESs for short) which combines neutrosophic vague sets and soft expert sets to be more effective and useful. We also define its basic operations, namely complement, union, intersection, AND and OR along with illustrative examples, and study some related properties with supporting proofs. Lastly, this concept is applied to a decision making problem and its effectiveness is demonstrated using a hypothetical example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Q-neutrosophic soft environment is an innovative hybrid tool that combines features of both a Q-neutrosophic set (Q-NS) and a parametric tool "soft set" (SS) in order to manage imprecise and indeterminate situations in various mathematical problems. In this article, we introduce a new algebraic approach called Q-neutrosophic soft matrices (Q-NSMs) to address the issues of two-dimensional (two variables) in a universal set by representing the concept of Q-neutrosophic soft sets (Q-NSSs) in matrices. On Q-NSMs, we define the fundamental set operations and some algebraic operations, i.e., complement, union, intersection, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and scalar multiplication, and prove related properties of these operations. Moreover, these operations are illustrated via several numerical examples. Then, two algorithms are proposed to tackle group decision making (GDM) problems: The first depends on the score function of Q-NSMs, and the second is based on the aggregation operator of Q-NSMs. Finally, this study is supported by a brief comparison with some relevant previous models.

Interval complex neutrosophic soft set (ICNSS) is the generalization of complex neutrosophic soft set (CNSS) as it provides an interval-based membership structure to handle the complex neutrosophic soft data. However, in the definition of the ICNSS, parameters set is a classical set, and the parameters have the same degree of importance which is considered as 1. This poses a limitation in modeling of some problems. Therefore, we introduce the concept of fuzzy parameterized interval complex neutrosophic soft set (FP-ICNSS) based on idea that each of elements of parameters set has got an importance degree. The basic theoretical operations and properties are defined and verified on FP-ICNSS. For FP-ICNSS, we conceptualize the relevant mapping and study the properties of the FP-ICNSS images and inverse images. Then, we propose a new algorithm that is applicable in the field of medical diagnosis and decision-making problems for selection right product. Moreover, an illustrative example is presented which depicts its validity for successful application to the problems involving vagueness and uncertainties. Eventually, a comparison between the proposed model and the existing methods is conducted to clarify the importance of this model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS) is a moderate mathematical model, that has diverse capabilities to handle uncertain and ambiguous information of human opinion during the decision analysis process. The Aczel Alsina operations are more flexible and valuable aggregating tools with parameter values ϻ ⩾ 1, reflecting smooth and accurate information by aggregating awkward and redundant information. The theory of the Choquet integral operator is also used to express the interaction between preferences or criteria by incorporating certain values of preferences. The primary features of this article are to derive some dominant mathematical approaches by combining two different theories like Choquet integral operators and operations of Aczel Alsina tools namely “q-rung orthopair fuzzy Choquet integral Aczel Alsina average” (q-ROFCIAAA), and “q-rung orthopair fuzzy Choquet integral Aczel Alsina geometric” (q-ROFCIAAG) operators. Some special cases and notable characteristics are also demonstrated to show the feasibility of derived approaches. Based on our derived aggregation approaches, a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique aggregates redundant and unpredictable information. In light of developed approaches, a numerical example study to evaluate suitable safety equipment in the construction sector. To reveal the intensity and applicability of derived approaches by contrasting the results of prevailing approaches with currently developed AOs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Interval complex neutrosophic soft sets (I-CNSSs) refers to interval neutrosophic soft sets (I-NSSs) featuring three two-dimensional independent membership functions accordingly (falsity, indeterminacy, as well as uncertainty interval). A relation is a tool that helps in describing consistency and agreement between objects. Throughout this paper, we insert and discuss the interval complex neutrosophic soft relation (simply denoted by I-CNSR), a novel soft computing technique used to examine the interaction degree among corresponding models known as I-CNSSs. We present the definition of the Cartesian product of I-CNSSs followed by the definition of I-CNSR. Furthermore, the definitions and some theorems and properties related to the composition, inverse, and complement of I-CNSR are provided. The notions of symmetric, reflexive, transitive, and equivalent of I-CNSRs are proposed, and the algebraic properties of these concepts are verified. Furthermore, we demonstrate the relevance of our notion to real-world situations by offering a suggested method for solving a decision-making issue in the field of economics. Ultimately, an analysis is made between the current relationships and the proposed model to determine the model's significance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Supplier selection is a very crucial process within a business or commercial enterprise because it depends upon different components like reliability, customer need, services, cost and reputation. A suitable supplier is familiar with developing a relationship between customer needs and business. To serve this purpose, the multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) technique is a well-known and efficient aggregation model used to evaluate flexible optimal options by considering some appropriate criteria or attributes. Experts face some sophisticated challenges during the decision-making process due to uncertain and ambiguous information about human opinions. To address such conditions, we explore the notion of spherical fuzzy sets (SFS) and their reliable operations. Some flexible operational laws of Dombi t-norms are also developed in light of spherical fuzzy (SF) information. Combining the theory of Hamy mean (HM) models and Dombi aggregation tools, some robust strategies are also studied in this research work. The main objectives of this article are to propose some dominant strategies in the presence of SF information including spherical fuzzy Dombi Hamy mean (SFDHM), spherical fuzzy Dombi weighted Hamy mean (SFDWHM), spherical fuzzy Dombi Dual Hamy mean (SFDDHM) and spherical fuzzy Dombi weighted Dual Hamy mean (SFDWDHM) operators. The MAGDM techniques are utilized to evaluate the flexibility of our derived methodologies under considering SF information. An experimental case study is utilized to evaluate a notable supplier enterprise under consideration of our developed methodologies. Finally, a comprehensive overview of our research work is also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The soft set theory has drawn the attention of many researchers, particularly for dealing with uncertainty in decision-making problems. Despite its remarkable advantages, the soft set theory has only been used to tackle decision-making problems that aim to choose the best option. However, there exist different forms of decision-making problems that involve different forms of uncertainty. Methods: In this study, we present various algorithms based on the soft set theory in order to handle the cases where one has different uncertainty forms in decision-making problems. Some new concepts such as object code, personal object code, parameter significance weight and new distance measures have been introduced to the literature for the construction of these algorithms. Furthermore, we show the application results of those algorithms and provide several examples. Results and Conclusions: As a result, a comparison among the application results of the algorithms implies that the best objects might not always yield the most efficient outcomes.

Multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) technique is often used to make decisions when several optimal options are under consideration. It can be difficult to select a reasonable optimal option for the decision maker under consideration of insufficient information. The theory of Hamy mean (HM) operators are used to express correlation among different input arguments and provide a smooth approximation during the decision-making process. Recently, Aczel Alsina aggregating expressions gained a lot of attention from numerous mathematicians under different fuzzy circumstances. This article aims to illustrate the notion of a Pythagorean fuzzy (PyF) set (PyFS) with some restricted constraints, such as a sum of the square of truth membership value and falsity membership value. We developed a series of new approaches under consideration of the HM tools, including PyF Aczel Alsina Hamy mean (PyFAAHM), and PyF Aczel Alsina weighted Hamy mean (PyFAAWHM) operators. Further, we also extend the theory of Dual Hamy mean (DHM) operators and derived a series of new methodologies such as PyF Aczel Alsina Dual Hamy mean (PyFAADHM) and PyF Aczel Alsina weighted Dual Hamy mean (PyFAAWDHM) operators. To demonstrate the flexibility of our derived approaches, we illustrate an application of a multinational company considering the MAGDM technique. An experimental case study is also illustrated to evaluate a reasonable option from a group of options. We see the advantages and compatibility of our findings by comparing the results of existing approaches with the results of currently discussed methodologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
