Some induced generalized interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein geometric aggregation operators and their application to group decision-making

 
 

Abstract


For the multiple attribute group decision-making problems where attribute values are the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy numbers, the group decision-making method based on generalized Einstein geometric aggregation operators is developed. First, induced generalized interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted geometric (I-GIVPFEOWG) aggregation operator and induced generalized interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein hybrid weighted geometric (I-GIVPFEHWG) aggregation operator, were proposed. Some general properties of these operators, such as idempotency, commutativity, monotonicity, and boundedness, were discussed, and some special cases in these operators were analyzed. Furthermore, the method for multiple attribute group decision-making problems based on these operators was developed, and the operational processes were illustrated in detail. The main advantage of using the proposed methods and operators is that these operators and methods give a more complete view of the problem to the decision makers. These methods provide more general, more accurate, and precise results. Therefore, these methods play a vital role in real-world problems. Finally the proposed operators have been applied to decision-making problems to show the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the new approach.
