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]

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]

During the transitional phase spanning from the realm of fuzzy logic to the realm of neutrosophy, a multitude of hybrid models have emerged, each surpassing its predecessor in terms of superiority. Given the pervasive presence of indeterminacy in the world, a higher degree of precision is essential for effectively handling imprecision. Consequently, more sophisticated variants of neutrosophic sets (NSs) have been conceived. The key objective of this paper is to introduce yet another variant of NS, known as the q-rung orthopair fuzzy-valued neutrosophic set (q-ROFVNS). By leveraging the extended spatial range offered by q-ROFS, q-ROFVNS enables a more nuanced representation of indeterminacy and inconsistency. Our endeavor commences with the definitions of q-ROFVNS and q-ROFVN numbers (q-ROFVNNs). Then, we propose several types of score and accuracy functions to facilitate the comparison of q-ROFVNNs. Fundamental operations of q-ROFVNSs and some algebraic operational rules of q-ROFVNNs are also provided with their properties, substantiated by proofs and elucidated through illustrative examples. Drawing upon the operational rules of q-ROFVNNs, the q-ROFVN weighted average operator (q-ROFVNWAO) and q-ROFVN weighted geometric operator (q-ROFVNWGO) are proposed. Notably, we present the properties of these operators, including idempotency, boundedness and monotonicity. Furthermore, we emphasize the applicability and significance of the q-ROFVN operators, substantiating their utility through an algorithm and a numerical application. To further validate and evaluate the proposed model, we conduct a comparative analysis, examining its accuracy and performance in relation to existing models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

Hypersoft sets (HSSs) have gained popularity because of their ability to formulate data in the form of several trait-valued disjoint sets that blend various traits. Motivated by this idea, in this study, we present a new hyper-approach referred to as bipolar neutrosophic hypersoft sets (BNHSSs) by a generalization of neutro-sophic hypersoft sets (NHSSs) and bipolar fuzzy hypersoft sets (BFHSSs) or by merging and subjecting both HSSs and neutrosophic sets (NSs) to a bipolarity property of real numbers. By utilizing positive and negative neutrosophic structures, we construct different notions and operations on the basis of BNHSSs, such as an absolute BNHSS, a null BNHSS, a complement, subset-hood, a restricted and extended union, and a restricted and extended intersection, along with their related properties. Also, some operations like OR and AND on BNHSS have been initiated. In addition, some properties are displayed paired together, and some numerical hypothetical examples are given to clarify the mechanism of using these instruments. Finally, to prove the efficiency and applicability of the proposed model, we established two novel algorithms based on mathematical techniques (aggregation operator and score function) applied to our model (BNHSS). The aforementioned meth-ods have been utilized in the resolution of a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Some discussions and comparisons between the given techniques are also presented to demonstrate their effectiveness and applicability. [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]

The theory of cubic bipolar fuzzy sets (CBFSs) is a robust approach for dealing with vagueness and bipolarity in real-life circumstances. This theory provides a hybrid machine learning paradigm that can accurately describe two-sided contrasting features for medical diagnosis. The ELECTRE-II model, which is extensively used, is expanded in this article to include the cubic bipolar fuzzy (CBF) context. In order to produce a comprehensive preference ordering of actions, ELECTREII establishes two different forms of embedded outranking relations while taking into account the subjective human judgments. A huge number of applications have been created by its variations under various models, considering the CBF model's greater capacity to deal. For opinions in the adaptive CBF structure with unknown information, the CBF-ELECTRE-II group decision support method is described. With the use of proper CBF aggregation operations, the expert CBF views on each alternative and criterion are compiled in the first step. The approach then constructs weak and strong outranking relations and offers three distinct CBF outranking set kinds ("concordance", "indifferent" and "discordance" sets). Strong and weak outranking graphs serve as a visual depiction of the latter, which is finally studied by a rigorous iterative procedure that yields a preferred system. For these objectives, integrated CBF-VIKOR and CBF-ELECTRE-II techniques are developed for multi-criteria group decision making (MCDGM). Finally, suggested techniques are recommended to determine ranking index of efficient road freight transportation (FRT) in Industry 4.0. The ranking index and optimal decision are also computed with other techniques to demonstrate robustness of proposed MCDGM approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to amalgamate the notion of a T-spherical fuzzy set (T-SFS) and a linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS) to elaborate on the notion of the T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy set (T-SLDFS). The new concept is very effective and is more dominant as compared to T-SFS and LDFS. Then, we advance the basic operations of T-SLDFS and examine their properties. To effectively aggregate the T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy data, a T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy weighted averaging (T-SLDFWA) operator and a T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy weighted geometric (T-SLDFWG) operator are proposed. Then, the properties of these operators are also provided. Furthermore, the notions of the T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy-ordered weighted averaging (T-SLDFOWA) operator; T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy hybrid weighted averaging (T-SLDFHWA) operator; T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy-ordered weighted geometric (TSLDFOWG) operator; and T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric (TSLDFHWG) operator are proposed. To compare T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy numbers (TSLDFNs), different types of score and accuracy functions are defined. On the basis of the TSLDFWA and T-SLDFWG operators, a multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) method within the framework of T-SLDFNs is designed, and the ranking results are examined by different types of score functions. A numerical example is provided to depict the practicality and ascendancy of the proposed method. Finally, to demonstrate the excellence and accessibility of the proposed method, a comparison analysis with other methods is conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The neutrosophic idea is a fertile environment adaptable to different mathematical tools. This paper aims to introduce the mapping of complex interval neutrosophic soft sets (MI-CNSSs). Further, the images and inverse images of complex interval neutrosophic soft sets and their properties are explored. These will be supported by concrete examples, and this paper will present some theorems about complex interval neutrosophic soft images and inverse images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We establish the hybrid concept of complex bipolar- valued neutrosophic soft set (CBVNSS) as a hybrid model of bipolar neutrosophic soft set (BNSS)and complex fuzzy set (CFS). A CBVNSS is highly suitable for use in real life situations where the decision makers are interested to deal with bipolarity as well as truth membership, indeterminacy membership and falsity membership grades to the alternatives in an extended range with complex numbers. Certain operations on CBVNSS like complement, subset, union and intersection operations are defined. Some related examples are also given to enhance the understanding of the proposed concept. The basic properties are also verified. We then provide a decision-making method on the CBVNSS. Finally, a numerical example has been presented to verify validity and feasibility of the developed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
