A novel algorithmic multi-attribute decision-making framework for solar panel selection using modified aggregations of cubic intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set
Abstract
To address the shortcomings of the cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets (CIFSs) for the entitlement of multi-argument approximate function, the cubic intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set (Ω-set) is an emerging study area. This type of setting associates the sub-parametric tuples with the collection of CIFSs. Categorizing the evaluation of parameters into their corresponding sub-parametric values based on non-overlapping sets has significance in decision making and optimization related situations. Some operations of Ω-set are proposed in this study, along with certain practical features. We provide the complement, P-order, and R-order subsets, P-union (∪P), R-union (∪R), P-intersection (∩P) and R-intersection (∩R) of Ω-sets. The internal cubic intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set (ΩI-set) and the external cubic intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set (ΩE-set) are also proposed in this paper, which will aid researchers in applying this new theory to other areas of study. We show a few examples in this context and look into some more aspects of ∪P, ∪R, ∩P and ∩R of ΩI-sets and ΩE-sets. Arguments for a few significant theorems about ΩI-sets and ΩE-sets are also presented. Lastly, an algorithm is presented that assists decision-makers in evaluating appropriate solar panels to establish solar plants. The proposed algorithm uses the idea of ∪P and ∪R for two Ω-sets constructed based on expert opinions of decision makers.
