Abstract 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 systematically… More >

Abstract Wind energy has emerged as a potential replacement for fossil fuel-based energy sources. To harness maximum wind energy, a crucial decision in the development of an efficient wind farm is the optimal layout design. This layout defines the specific locations of the turbines within the wind farm. The process of finding the optimal locations of turbines, in the presence of various technical and technological constraints, makes the wind farm layout design problem a complex optimization problem. This problem has traditionally been solved with nature-inspired algorithms with promising results. The performance and convergence of nature-inspired algorithms… More >

Abstract With the increasing complexity of hotel selection, traditional decision-making models often struggle to account for uncertainty and interrelated criteria. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, particularly those based on fuzzy logic, provide a robust framework for handling such challenges. This paper presents a novel approach to MCDM within the framework of Circular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (C-IFS) by combining three distinct methodologies: Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS), an Alternative Ranking Order Method Accounting for Two-Step Normalization (AROMAN), and the CRITIC method (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation). To address the dynamic nature of traveler preferences in hotel selection,… More >

Abstract VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) has been developed and applied for over twenty-five years, gaining recognition as a prominent multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. Over this period, numerous studies have explored its applications, conducted comparative analyses, integrated it with other methods, and proposed various modifications to enhance its performance. This paper aims to delve into the fundamental principles and objectives of VIKOR, which aim to maximize group utility and minimize individual regret simultaneously. However, this study identifies a significant limitation in the VIKOR methodology: its process amplifies the weight of individual regret, and the calculated… More >

Abstract This paper introduces fuzzy N-bipolar soft (FN-BS) sets, a novel mathematical framework designed to enhance multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes under uncertainty. The study addresses a significant limitation in existing models by unifying fuzzy logic, the consideration of bipolarity, and the ability to evaluate attributes on a multinary scale. The specific contributions of the FN-BS framework include: (1) a formal definition and set-theoretic foundation, (2) the development of two innovative algorithms for solving decision-making (DM) problems, and (3) a comparative analysis demonstrating its superiority over established models. The proposed framework is applied to a real-world case More >

Abstract The implementation of Countermeasure Techniques (CTs) in the context of Network-On-Chip (NoC) based Multiprocessor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) routers against the Flooding Denial-of-Service Attack (F-DoSA) falls under Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) due to the three main concerns, called: traffic variations, multiple evaluation criteria-based traffic features, and prioritization NoC routers as an alternative. In this study, we propose a comprehensive evaluation of various NoC traffic features to identify the most efficient routers under the F-DoSA scenarios. Consequently, an MCDM approach is essential to address these emerging challenges. While the recent MCDM approach has some issues, such as uncertainty, this… More >

Abstract Accurate medical diagnosis, which involves identifying diseases based on patient symptoms, is often hindered by uncertainties in data interpretation and retrieval. Advanced fuzzy set theories have emerged as effective tools to address these challenges. In this paper, new mathematical approaches for handling uncertainty in medical diagnosis are introduced using q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS) and interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (IVq-ROFS). Three aggregation operators are proposed in our methodologies: the q-ROF weighted averaging (q-ROFWA), the q-ROF weighted geometric (q-ROFWG), and the q-ROF weighted neutrality averaging (q-ROFWNA), which enhance decision-making under uncertainty. These operators are paired More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Due to the numerous variables to take into account as well as the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty, evaluating educational institutions can be difficult. The concept of a possibility Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set (pPyFHSS) is more flexible in this regard than other theoretical fuzzy set-like models, even though some attempts have been made in the literature to address such uncertainties. This study investigates the elementary notions of pPyFHSS including its set-theoretic operations union, intersection, complement, OR- and AND-operations. Some results related to these operations are also modified for pPyFHSS. Additionally, the similarity measures between pPyFHSSs are More >
