Hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy aggregation operators and their applications in multiple criteria group decision-making

Abstract

Abstract A hesitant fuzzy (HF) set is an extension of the fuzzy sets and a T-spherical fuzzy set (T-SFS) is a generalization of the spherical fuzzy set (SFS). HF set has a significant role for modelling disagreements of the decision-makers over membership degree of an element. Also, T-SFS is quite effective in the modelling of the uncertainty for decision-making (DM) problems. In this paper, we define the concept of hesitant T-spherical fuzzy (HT-SF) set (HT-SFS) by combining concepts of HF set and T-SFS, and present some set-theoretical operations of HT-SFSs. We also develop the Dombi operations on HT-SFSs. We present some aggregation operators based on Dombi operators, including hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging operator, hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy weighted geometric averaging operator, hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy ordered weighted arithmetic averaging operator, and hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy ordered weighted geometric averaging operator, and investigate some properties of them. In addition, we give a multi-criteria group decision-making method and algorithm of the proposed method under the hesitant T-spherical fuzzy environment. To show the process of proposed method, we present an example related to the selection of the most suitable person for the assistant professorship position in a university. Besides this, we present a comparative analysis with existing operators to reveal the advantages and authenticity of our technique.
