A novel approach of linguistic intuitionistic cubic hesitant variables and their application in decision making

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we proposed the notion of linguistic intuitionistic cubic hesitant variables and defined some aggregation operators to deal with uncertainties in the form of linguistic intuitionistic cubic hesitant variables (LICHVs). LICHVs operators have more flexibility due to the general fuzzy set. We developed a series of aggregation operators, namely linguistic intuitionistic cubic hesitant variable averaging and linguistic intuitionistic cubic hesitant variable geometric aggregation operators. The distinguished feature of the developed operators is discussed. At that point, we used the developed operators to design a model to solve multi-criteria decision making issues with linguistic intuitionistic cubic hesitant variables. Further, the proposed method applied to explosion incident occurred in a chemical factory. We also proved that our developed model is practical and gives the decision makers more mathematical insight during the decision making on their options. Finally, a systematic comparison is conducted with other existent methods to show the advantage of our developed method.
