The power Heronian aggregation (PHA) operator can use the advantages of power average and the Heronian mean operator, which together could take into account the interrelationship of the aggregated arguments, and therefore alleviate the effects caused by unreasonable data through considering the support degree between input arguments. However, PHA operators cannot be used to process single-valued neutrosophic numbers (SVNNs), which is significant for extending it to SVNNs. We propose some new PHA operators for SVNNs and introduce a novel MAGDM method on the basis of the proposed operators. Firstly, the definition, properties, comparison method, and operational rules of SVNNs are introduced briefly. Then, some PHA operators are proposed, such as the single-valued neutrosophic power Heronian aggregation (SVNPHA) operator, the single-valued neutrosophic weighted power Heronian aggregation (SVNWPHA) operator, single-valued neutrosophic geometric power Heronian aggregation (SVNGPHA) operator, single-valued neutrosophic weighted geometric power Heronian aggregation (SVNWGPHA) operator. Furthermore, we discuss some properties of these new aggregation operators and several special cases. Moreover, the method to solve the MAGDM problems with SVNNs is proposed, based on the SVNWPHA and SVNWGPHA operators. Lastly, we verified the application and effectiveness of the proposed method by using an example for the MAGDM problem.

For real decision‐making problems, aggregating the attributes which have interactive or correlated characteristics by traditional aggregation operators is unsuitable. Thus, applying Choquet integral operator to approximate and simulate human subjective decision‐making process, in which independence among the input arguments is not necessarily assumed, would be suitable. Moreover, using single‐valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic sets (SVNULSs) can express the indeterminate, inconsistent, and incomplete information better than FSs and IFSs. In this paper, we studied the MAGDM problems with SVNULSs and proposed two single‐valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet integrate aggregation operators where the interactions phenomena among the attributes or the experts are considered. First, the definition, operational rules, and comparison method of single‐valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic numbers (SVNULNs) are introduced briefly. Second, induced single‐valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet ordered averaging (I‐SVNULCA) operator and induced single‐valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet geometric (I‐SVNULCG) operator are presented. Moreover, a few of its properties are discussed. Further, the procedure and algorithm of MAGDM based on the above single‐valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet integral operator are proposed. Finally, in the illustrative example, the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method would be demonstrated.
