The intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set (IHFS) is an enriched version of hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) that can cover both fuzzy sets (FSs) and intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). By assigning membership and non-membership grades as subsets of [0, 1], the IHFS can model and handle situations more proficiently. Another related theory is the theory of set pair analysis (SPA), which considers both certainties and uncertainties as a cohesive system and represents them from three aspects: identity, discrepancy, and contrary. In this article, we explore the suitability of combining the IHFS and SPA theories in multi-attribute decision making (MADM) and present the hybrid model named intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy connection number set (IHCS). To facilitate the design of a novel MADM algorithm, we first develop several averaging and geometric aggregation operators on IHCS. Finally, we highlight the benefits of our proposed work, including a comparative examination of the recommended models with a few current models to demonstrate the practicality of an ideal decision in practice. Additionally, we provide a graphical interpretation of the devised attempt to exhibit the consistency and efficiency of our approach.

For choosing the optimal option for multiple issues, the multiattribute decision-making (MADM) technique within a Fermatean fuzzy environment is a well-known and significant method. This paper presents a novel superiority inferiority ranking (SIR) approach for Fermatean fuzzy sets in group decision-making using multicriteria to reduce investment risk. This approach aims to evaluate the strategies for selecting the optimal investment company. The SIR method is depicted, and its effectiveness in decision-making is explored. In this manuscript, we develop new types of A–A operations on the Fermatean fuzzy environment and Fermatean Fuzzy A–A (FF-AA) average aggregation operators, including their properties such as idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness. Further, we introduce a Fermatean fuzzy A–A weighted average closeness coefficient (FF-AA-WA-) aggregation operator (AO) based on the closeness coefficient for MAGDM issues. By utilizing the proposed technique, we solve a numerical example of an MAGDM problem. The results show that this approach is accurate and practical, and consistent with a realistic investment circumstance. A demonstration was created to emphasize the significance and credibility of this approach and assess its validity by comparing its outcomes with the established methods.
Intuitionistic fuzzy information is a potent tool for medical diagnosis applications as it can represent imprecise and uncertain data. However, making decisions based on this information can be challenging due to its inherent ambiguity. To overcome this, power aggregation operators can effectively combine various sources of information, including expert opinions and patient data, to arrive at a more accurate diagnosis. The timely and accurate diagnosis of medical conditions is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment plans and improving patient outcomes. In this paper, we developed a novel approach for the three-way decision model by utilizing decision-theoretic rough sets and power aggregation operators. The decision-theoretic rough set approach is essential in medical diagnosis as it can manage vague and uncertain data. The redesign of the model using interval-valued classes for intuitionistic fuzzy information further improved the accuracy of the diagnoses. The intuitionistic fuzzy power weighted average (IFPWA) and intuitionistic fuzzy power weighted geometric (IFPWG) aggregation operators are used to aggregate the attribute values of the information system. The established operators are used to combine information within the intuitionistic fuzzy information system. The outcomes of various alternatives are then transformed into interval-valued classes through discretization. Bayesian decision rules, incorporating expected loss factors, are subsequently generated based on this foundation. This approach helps in effectively combining various sources of information to arrive at more accurate diagnoses. The proposed approach is validated through a medical case study where the participants are classified into three different regions based on their symptoms. In conclusion, the decision-theoretic rough set approach, along with power aggregation operators, can effectively manage vague and uncertain information in medical diagnosis applications. The proposed approach can lead to timely and accurate diagnoses, thereby improving patient outcomes.
