First, the limitations of several existing single-valued neutrosophic weighted averaging aggregation operators (i.e. , the single-valued neutrosophic weighted averaging, single-valued neutrosophic weighted algebraic averaging, single-valued neutrosophic weighted Einstein averaging, single-valued neutrosophic Frank weighted averaging, and single-valued neutrosophic Hamacher weighted averaging operators), which can produce some indeterminate terms in the aggregation process, are discussed. Second, an ISNHWA operator was developed to overcome the limitations of existing operators. Third, the properties of the proposed operator, including idempotency, boundedness, monotonicity, and commutativity, were analyzed. Application examples confirmed that the ISNHWA operator and the proposed MCGDM method are rational and effective. The proposed improved ISNHWA operator and MCGDM method can overcome the indeterminate results in some special cases in existing single-valued neutrosophic weighted averaging aggregation operators and MCGDM methods.展开更多

To decrease the subjectivity in the process of decision-making, the LOWA operator is introduced, and a discussion on how to select appropriate weights involved in multi-objective sorting is made.

文摘A novel model termed a bipolar complex fuzzy N-soft set(BCFN-SS)is initiated for tackling information that involves positive and negative aspects,the second dimension,and parameterised grading simultaneously.The theory of BCFN-SS is the generalisation of two various theories,that is,bipolar complex fuzzy(BCF)and N-SS.The invented model of BCFN-SS helps decision-makers to cope with the genuine-life dilemmas containing BCF information along with parameterised grading at the same time.Further,various algebraic operations,including the usual type of union,intersection,complements,and a few others types,are invented.Certain primary operational laws for BCFNSS are also invented.Moreover,a technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution(TOPSIS)approach is devised in the setting of BCFN-SS for managing strategic decision-making(DM)dilemmas containing BCFN-SS information.Keeping in mind the usefulness and benefits of the TOPSIS approach,two various types of TOPSIS approaches in the environment of BCFN-SS are devised and then a numerical example for exposing the usefulness of the devised TOPSIS approach is interpreted.To disclose the prominence and benefits of the devised work,the devised approaches with numerous prevailing work are compared.

文摘Tourism is a popular activity that allows individuals to escape their daily routines and explore new destinations for various reasons,including leisure,pleasure,or business.A recent study has proposed a unique mathematical concept called a q−Rung orthopair fuzzy hypersoft set(q−ROFHS)to enhance the formal representation of human thought processes and evaluate tourism carrying capacity.This approach can capture the imprecision and ambiguity often present in human perception.With the advanced mathematical tools in this field,the study has also incorporated the Einstein aggregation operator and score function into the q−ROFHS values to supportmultiattribute decision-making algorithms.By implementing this technique,effective plans can be developed for social and economic development while avoiding detrimental effects such as overcrowding or environmental damage caused by tourism.A case study of selected tourism carrying capacity will demonstrate the proposed methodology.
文摘Decision-making(DM)is a process in which several persons concur-rently engage,examine the problems,evaluate potential alternatives,and select an appropriate option to the problem.Technique for determining order preference by similarity to the ideal solution(TOPSIS)is an established DM process.The objective of this report happens to broaden the approach of TOPSIS to solve the DM issues designed with Hesitancy fuzzy data,in which evaluation evidence given by the experts on possible solutions is presents as Hesitancy fuzzy decision matrices,each of which is defined by Hesitancy fuzzy numbers.Findings:we represent analytical results,such as designing a satellite communication network and assessing reservoir operation methods,to demonstrate that our suggested thoughts may be used in DM.Aim:We studied a new testing method for the arti-ficial communication system to give proof of the future construction of satellite earth stations.We aim to identify the best one from the different testing places.We are alsofinding the best operation schemes in the reservoir.In this article,we present the concepts of Laplacian energy(LE)in Hesitancy fuzzy graphs(HFGs),the weight function of LE of HFGs,and the TOPSIS method technique is used to produce the hesitancy fuzzy weighted-average(HFWA).Also,consider practical examples to illustrate the applicability of thefinest design of satellite communication systems and also evaluation of reservoir schemes.

文摘Fuzzy sets have undergone several expansions and generalisations in the literature,including Atanasov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets,type 2 fuzzy sets,and fuzzy multisets,to name a few.They can be regarded as fuzzy multisets from a formal standpoint;nevertheless,their interpretation differs from the two other approaches to fuzzy multisets that are currently available.Hesitating fuzzy sets(HFS)are very useful if consultants have hesitation in dealing with group decision-making problems between several possible memberships.However,these possible memberships can be not only crisp values in[0,1],but also interval values during a practical evaluation process.Hesitant bipolar valued fuzzy set(HBVFS)is a generalization of HFS.This paper aims to introduce a general framework of multi-attribute group decision-making using social network.We propose two types of decision-making processes:Type-1 decision-making process and Type-2 decision-making process.In the Type-1 decision-making process,the experts’original opinion is proces for thefinal ranking of alternatives.In Type-2 decision making processs,there are two major aspects we consider.First,consistency tests and checking of consensus models are given for detecting that the judgments are logically rational.Otherwise,the framework demands(partial)decision-makers to review their assessments.Second,the coherence and consensus of several HBVFSs are established forfinal ranking of alternatives.The proposed framework is clarified by an example of software packages selection of a university.

文摘Ensuring a sustainable and eco-friendly environment is essential for promoting a healthy and balanced social life.However,decision-making in such contexts often involves handling vague,imprecise,and uncertain information.To address this challenge,this study presents a novel multi-criteria decision-making(MCDM)approach based on picture fuzzy hypersoft sets(PFHSS),integrating the flexibility of Schweizer-Sklar triangular norm-based aggregation operators.The proposed aggregation mechanisms—weighted average and weighted geometric operators—are formulated using newly defined operational laws under the PFHSS framework and are proven to satisfy essential mathematical properties,such as idempotency,monotonicity,and boundedness.The decision-making model system-atically incorporates both benefit and cost-type criteria,enabling more nuanced evaluations in complex social or environmental decision problems.To enhance interpretability and practical relevance,the study conducts a sensitivity analysis on the Schweizer-Sklar parameter(Δ).The results show that varyingΔaffects the strictness of aggregation,thereby influencing the ranking stability of alternatives.A comparative analysis with existing fuzzy and hypersoft-based MCDM methods confirms the robustness,expressiveness,and adaptability of the proposed approach.Notably,the use of picture fuzzy sets allows for the inclusion of positive,neutral,and negative memberships,offering a richer representation of expert opinions compared to traditional models.A case study focused on green technology adoption for environmental sustainability illustrates the real-world applicability of the proposed method.The analysis confirms that the approach yields consistent and interpretable results,even under varying degrees of decision uncertainty.Overall,this work contributes an efficient and flexible MCDM tool that can support decision-makers in formulating policies aligned with sustainable and socially responsible outcomes.
文摘Military aviation demands cognitive performance,emotional stability,and resilience under pressure.Portuguese Airforce pilots face additional challenges:maintaining fitness and readiness independently,without structured exercise regimens.Yoga’s capacity to enhance mindfulness makes it a promising intervention.Despite potential benefits,research on yoga’s impact in military aviation remains limited.This study investigates incorporation of yoga into the training regimen of Portuguese Airforce to verify decision-making effectiveness and performance.A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 18 Portuguese Air Force pilots:Control Group(n=8)followed standard military training,and Intervention Group(n=10)received aditional yoga training twice a week,for 12 weeks.Assessments included Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ),Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness(MAIA),Aviation Safety Attitude Scale(ASAS),Risk Perception To Self(RPTS),Trail Making Test(TMT)and aviation simulator performance.Data analysis used Jamovi v2.6.13.The yoga group showed significant improvements in mindfulness(FFMQ),interoceptive awareness(MAIA),self-confidence and safety attitudes(ASAS),cognitive flexibility(TMT-B),and simulator performance(fewer flight errors).En-hancements in attention regulation,body awareness,and emotional self-regulation reflect greater readiness for stress management.Improvements in decision-making,calculated risk-taking,and operational safety suggest yoga’s potential to reinforce psychophysiological resilience in high-demand environments.Yoga contributes meaningfully to enhanced performance and safety in high-pressure aviation environments.These findings may inform policy-level decisions toward integrating mandatory mind-body training programs that are cost-effective and time-efficient.The benefits observed may be applicable to Air Force teams globally,as well as commercial aviation,civil aviation,and other high-stress,high-performance domains,including elite sports.
文摘Uncertainty and ambiguity are pervasive in real-world intelligent systems,necessitating advanced mathematical frameworks for effective modeling and analysis.Fermatean fuzzy sets(FFSs),as a recent extension of classical fuzzy theory,provide enhanced flexibility for representing complex uncertainty.In this paper,we propose a unified parametric divergence operator for FFSs,which comprehensively captures the interplay among membership,nonmembership,and hesitation degrees.The proposed operator is rigorously analyzed with respect to key mathematical properties,including non-negativity,non-degeneracy,and symmetry.Notably,several well-known divergence operators,such as Jensen-Shannon divergence,Hellinger distance,andχ2-divergence,are shown to be special cases within our unified framework.Extensive experiments on pattern classification,hierarchical clustering,and multiattribute decision-making tasks demonstrate the competitive performance and stability of the proposed operator.These results confirm both the theoretical significance and practical value of our method for advanced fuzzy information processing in machine learning and intelligent decision-making.

文摘In this paper,a decision-making problem with a q-rung orthopair fuzzy hypersoft environment is developed,and two operators of ordered weighted average and induced ordered weighted average are developed.Several fundamental features are also derived.The induced ordered weighted average operator is essential in a q-ROFH environment as the induced ordered aggregation operators are special cases of the existing aggregation operators that already exist in q-ROFH environments.The main function of these operators is to help decision-makers gain a complete understanding of uncertain facts.The proposed aggregation operator is applied to a decision-making problem,with the aim of selecting the most promising real estate project for investment.
文摘Although fuzzy set concepts have evolved,neutrosophic sets are attractingmore attention due to the greater power of the structure of neutrosophic sets.The ability to account for components that are true,false or neither true nor false is useful in the resolution of real-life problems.However,simultaneous variations render neutrosophic sets unsuitable in specific circumstances.To enable the management of these sorts of issues,we combine the principle of multi-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic sets and complex fuzzy sets to develop the principle of multivalued complex neutrosophic uncertain linguistic sets.Multi-valued complex neutrosophic uncertain linguistic sets can contain grades of truth,abstinence,and falsity,and uncertain linguistic terms,which are expressed as complex numbers whose real and imaginary parts are limited to the unit interval.Some important Dombi laws are elaborated along with Bonferroni mean operators,which offer a flexible general structure with modifiable factors.Bonferroni means aggregation operators perform a significant role in conveying the magnitude level of options and characteristics.To determine relationships among any number of attributes,we develop multi-valued complex neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Dombi-normalized weighted Bonferroni mean operators and discuss their important properties with some special cases.By using these laws,we can deploy themulti-attribute decisionmaking(MADM)technique using the novel principle of multi-valued complex neutrosophic uncertain linguistic sets.To determine the power and flexibility of the elaborated approach,we resolve some numerical examples based on the proposed operator.Finally,the work is validated with the help of comparative analysis,a discussion of its advantages,and geometric expressions of the elaborated theories.
文摘In real life,incomplete information,inaccurate data,and the preferences of decision-makers during qualitative judgment would impact the process of decision-making.As a technical instrument that can successfully handle uncertain information,Fermatean fuzzy sets have recently been used to solve the multi-attribute decision-making(MADM)problems.This paper proposes a Fermatean hesitant fuzzy information aggregation method to address the problem of fusion where the membership,non-membership,and priority are considered simultaneously.Combining the Fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets with Heronian Mean operators,this paper proposes the Fermatean hesitant fuzzy Heronian mean(FHFHM)operator and the Fermatean hesitant fuzzyweighted Heronian mean(FHFWHM)operator.Then,considering the priority relationship between attributes is often easier to obtain than the weight of attributes,this paper defines a new Fermatean hesitant fuzzy prioritized Heronian mean operator(FHFPHM),and discusses its elegant properties such as idempotency,boundedness and monotonicity in detail.Later,for problems with unknown weights and the Fermatean hesitant fuzzy information,aMADM approach based on prioritized attributes is proposed,which can effectively depict the correlation between attributes and avoid the influence of subjective factors on the results.Finally,a numerical example of multi-sensor electronic surveillance is applied to verify the feasibility and validity of the method proposed in this paper.
