    A particularly useful assessment tool for evaluating uncertainty and dealing with fuzziness is the Fermatean fuzzy set (FFS), which expands the membership and non-membership degree requirements. Distance measurement has been extensively employed in several fields as an essential approach that may successfully disclose the differences between fuzzy sets. In this article, we discuss various novel distance measures in Fermatean hesitant fuzzy environments as research on distance measures for FFS is in its early stages. These new distance measures include weighted distance measures and ordered weighted distance measures. This justification serves as the foundation for the construction of the generalized Fermatean hesitation fuzzy hybrid weighted distance (DGFHFHWD) scale, as well as the discussion of its weight determination mechanism, associated attributes and special forms. Subsequently, we present a new decision-making approach based on DGFHFHWD and TOPSIS, where the weights are processed by exponential entropy and normal distribution weighting, for the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) issue with unknown attribute weights. Finally, a numerical example of choosing a logistics transfer station and a comparative study with other approaches based on current operators and FFS distance measurements are used to demonstrate the viability and logic of the suggested method. The findings illustrate the ability of the suggested MADM technique to completely present the decision data, enhance the accuracy of decision outcomes and prevent information loss

    With the continuous development of the fuzzy set theory, neutrosophic set theory can better solve uncertain, incomplete and inconsistent information. As a special subset of the neutrosophic set, the single-valued neutrosophic set has a significant advantage when the value expressing the degree of membership is a set of finite discrete numbers. Therefore, in this paper, we first discuss the change values of single-valued neutrosophic numbers when treating them as variables and classifying these change values with the help of basic operations. Second, the convergence of sequences of single-valued neutrosophic numbers are proposed based on subtraction and division operations. Further, we depict the concept of single-valued neutrosophic functions (SVNF) and study in detail their derivatives and differentials. Finally, we develop the two kinds of indefinite integrals of SVNF and give the relevant examples

    The digital green concept refers to the devotion to digital technology, i.e., techniques of procedures in the area of ecological or sustainable conservation. It contains leveraging digital techniques, procedures, and new tools to evaluate environmental problems and promote sustainable development. The major influence of this article is to evaluate the selection of the best digital green technology. For this, we aim to propose the idea of Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operators based on interaction operational laws for T-spherical fuzzy (TSF) information, such as TSF interaction weighted averaging (TSFIWA), generalized TSF interaction weighted averaging (GTSFIWA), TSF interaction weighted geometric averaging (TSFIWGA), TSF interaction MSM (TSFIMSM), TSF interaction Bonferroni mean (TSFIBM), and TSF interaction weighted Maclaurin symmetric mean (TSFIWMSM) operators. Some dominant and reliable properties are also invented for evaluation. Moreover, to address the best digital green innovation (DGI) among the top five DGIs, we illustrate the procedure of the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique under the presence of the derived operators. Finally, we demonstrate a numerical example for evaluating the comparative study between the proposed and existing or prevailing operators to enhance the worth of the derived theory

    T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy aggregation operators for multiple attribute decision-making

    Get PDF
    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 (T-SLDFOWG) operator; and T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric (T-SLDFHWG) operator are proposed. To compare T-spherical linear Diophantine fuzzy numbers (T-SLDFNs), different types of score and accuracy functions are defined. On the basis of the T-SLDFWA 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

    Sine hyperbolic fractional orthotriple linear Diophantine fuzzy aggregation operator and its application in decision making

    Get PDF
    The idea of sine hyperbolic fractional orthotriple linear Diophantine fuzzy sets (sinh-FOLDFSs), which allows more uncertainty than fractional orthotriple fuzzy sets (FOFSs) is noteworthy. The regularity and symmetry of the origin are maintained by the widely recognized sine hyperbolic function, which satisfies the experts' expectations for the properties of the multi-time process. Compared to fractional orthotriple linear Diophantine fuzzy sets, sine hyperbolic fractional orthotriple linear Diophantine fuzzy sets (sinh-FOLDFSs) provide a significant idea for enabling more uncertainty. The objective of this research is to provide some reliable sine hyperbolic operational laws for FOLDFSs in order to sustain these properties and the significance of sinh-FOLDFSs. Both the accuracy and score functions for the sinh-FOLDFSs are defined. We define a group of averaging and geometric aggregation operators on the basis of algebraic t-norm and t-conorm operations. The basic characteristics of the defined operators are studied. Using the specified aggregation operators, a group decision-making method for solving real-life decision-making problem is proposed. To verify the validity of the proposed method, we compare our method with other existing methods

    An overview of fuzzy multi-criteria decisionmaking methods in hospitality and tourism industries: bibliometrics, methodologies, applications and future directions

    Get PDF
    Stakeholders in hospitality and tourism industries are involved in many decision-making scenarios. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have been widely used in hospitality and tourism industries. Although some articles summarised the applications of MCDM models in hospitality and tourism industries, they ignored the fuzziness of individual cognition in an uncertain environment. In addition, these surveys lacked a comprehensive overview from the perspective of bibliometrics analysis and content analysis regarding the whole hospitality and tourism industries. To analyse the applications of fuzzy MCDM methods in hospitality and tourism industries and further explore future research directions, this article reviews 85 selected papers published from 1997 to 2022 regarding fuzzy MCDM models applied in hospitality and tourism industries. Through analysing the results of bibliometric analysis, methodologies and applications, we found that analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS methods are the most widely used MCDM methods, and tourism evaluation, hotel evaluation and selection, tourism destination evaluation and selection are the most attractive research issues in hospitality and tourism industries. Finally, future research directions are proposed from three aspects. This article provides insights for researchers and practitioners who have interest in fuzzy MCDM models in hospitality and tourism industries

    Spherical fuzzy power partitioned Maclaurin Symmetric Mean Operators and their application in Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making

    Get PDF
    Spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) provide more free space for decision makers (DMs) to express preference information from four aspects: approval, objection, abstention and refusal. The partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operator is an effective information fusion tool, which can fully capture the interrelationships among any multiple attributes in the same block whereas attributes in different block are unrelated. Therefore, in this paper,we first extendPMSM operator to spherical fuzzy environment and develop spherical fuzzy PMSM (SFPMSM) operator as well as spherical fuzzy weighted PMSM (SFWPMSM) operator. Meanwhile, we discuss some properties and special cases of these two operators. To diminish the impact of extreme evaluation values on decision-making results, then we integrate power average (PA) operator and PMSM operator to further develop spherical fuzzy power PMSM (SFPPMSM) operator and spherical fuzzy weighted power PMSM (SFWPPMSM) operator and also investigate their desirable properties. Subsequently, a new multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method is established based on SFWPPMSM operator under spherical fuzzy environment. Finally, two numerical examples are used to illustrate the proposed method, and comparative analysis with the existing methods to further testy the validity and superiority of the proposed method

    Extension of aggregation operators to site selection for solid waste management under neutrosophic hypersoft set

    With the fast growth of the economy and rapid urbanization, the waste produced by the urban population also rises as the population increases. Due to communal, ecological, and financial constrictions, indicating a landfill site has become perplexing. Also, the choice of the landfill site is oppressed with vagueness and complexity due to the deficiency of information from experts and the existence of indeterminate data in the decision-making (DM) process. The neutrosophic hypersoft set (NHSS) is the most generalized form of the neutrosophic soft set, which deals with the multi-sub-attributes of the alternatives. The NHSS accurately judges the insufficiencies, concerns, and hesitation in the DM process compared to IFHSS and PFHSS, considering the truthiness, falsity, and indeterminacy of each sub-attribute of given parameters. This research extant the operational laws for neutrosophic hypersoft numbers (NHSNs). Furthermore, we introduce the aggregation operators (AOs) for NHSS, such as neutrosophic hypersoft weighted average (NHSWA) and neutrosophic hypersoft weighted geometric (NHSWG) operators, with their necessary properties. Also, a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach has been developed for site selection of solid waste management (SWM). Moreover, a numerical description is presented to confirm the reliability and usability of the proposed technique. The output of the advocated algorithm is compared with the related models already established to regulate the favorable features of the planned study
