Optimizing decision-making with aggregation operators for generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets and their applications in the tech industry

Abstract

Abstract Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) represent a significant advancement in classical fuzzy set (FS) theory. This study advances IFS theory to generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets (GIFSBs) and introduces novel operators GIFWAA, GIFWGA, GIFOWAA, and GIFOWGA, tailored for GIFSBs. The primary aim is to enhance decision-making capabilities by introducing aggregation operators within the GIFSB framework that align with preferences for optimal outcomes. The article introduces new operators for GIFSBs characterized by attributes like idempotency, boundedness, monotonicity and commutativity, resulting in aggregated values aligned with GIFNs. A comprehensive analysis of the relationships among these operations is conducted, offering a thorough understanding of their applicability. These operators are practically demonstrated in a multiple-criteria decision-making process for evaluating startup success in the Tech Industry.
