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]

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]

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 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]

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]

The notion of classical soft multisets is extended to neutrosophic vague soft multisets by applying the theory of soft multisets to neutrosophic vague sets to be more effective and useful. We also define its basic operations, namely complement, subset, union, intersection along with illustrative examples, and study some related properties with supporting proofs. Lastly, this notion is applied to a decision making problem and its effectiveness is demonstrated using an illustrative example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the definition of the complex neutrosophic soft expert set (CNSES), 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. This paper introduces the concept of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert set (FP-CNSES) to handle this issue by assigning a degree of importance to each of the problem parameters. We further develop FP-CNSES by establishing the concept of weighted fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert set (WFP-CNSES) based on the idea that each expert has a relative weight. These new mathematical frameworks reduce the chance of unfairness in the decision making process. Some essential operations with their properties and relevant laws related to the notion of FP-CNSES are defined and verified. The notation of mapping on fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert classes is defined and some properties of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert images and inverse images was investigated. FP-CNSES is used to put forth an algorithm on decision-making by converting it from complex state to real state and subsequently provided the detailed decision steps. Then, we provide the comparison of FP-CNSES to the current methods to show the ascendancy of our proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
