Multi-Attribute Group Decision-Making Methods Based on Entropy Weights with q-Rung Picture Uncertain Linguistic Fuzzy Information.

This paper introduces a new concept called q-rung picture uncertain linguistic fuzzy sets (q-RPULSs). These sets provide a reliable and comprehensive method for describing complex and uncertain decision-making information. In addition, q-RPULSs help to integrate the decision maker's quantitative assessment ideas with qualitative assessment information. For the q-RPUL multi-attribute group decision-making problem with unknown weight information, an entropy-based fuzzy set method for q-rung picture uncertainty language is proposed. The method considers the interrelationships among attributes and builds a q-rung picture uncertain language model. In addition, the q-RPULMSM operator and its related properties are discussed in this paper. This operator enables the fusion of q-RPULSs and helps to reach consensus in decision-making scenarios. To demonstrate the validity of the methodology, we provide a real case study involving commodity selection. Based on this case study, the reasonableness and superiority of the method are evaluated, highlighting the practical advantages and applicability of q-RPULSs in decision-making processes.
