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]

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 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]
