Interval valued t-spherical fuzzy soft average aggregation operators and their applications in multiple-criteria decision making

Abstract

This paper deals with uncertainty, asymmetric information, and risk modelling in a complex power system. The uncertainty is managed by using probability and decision theory methods. Multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) is a very effective and well-known tool to investigate fuzzy information more effectively. However, the selection of houses cannot be done by utilizing symmetry information, because enterprises do not have complete information, so asymmetric information should be used when selecting enterprises. In this paper, the notion of soft set (Sft S) and interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy set (IVT-SFS) are combined to produce a new and more effective notion called interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy soft set (IVT − SFSft S). It is a more general concept and provides more space and options to decision makers (DMs) for making their decision in the field of fuzzy set theory. Moreover, some average aggregation operators like interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy soft weighted average (IVT − SFSft WA) operator, interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy soft ordered weighted average (IVT − SFSftOWA) operator, and interval-valued T-spherical fuzzy soft hybrid average (IVT − SFSft HA) operators are explored. Furthermore, the properties of these operators are discussed in detail. An algorithm is developed and an application example is proposed to show the validity of the present work. This manuscript shows how to make a decision when there is asymmetric information about an enterprise. Further, in comparative analysis, the established work is compared with another existing method to show the advantages of the present work.
