q-Rung orthopair fuzzy dynamic aggregation operators with time sequence preference for dynamic decision-making

Abstract

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROPFS) is a kind of fuzzy framework that is capable of introducing significantly more fuzzy information than other fuzzy frameworks. The concept of combining information and aggregating it plays a significant part in the multi-criteria decision-making method. However, this new branch has recently attracted scholars from several domains. The goal of this study is to introduce some dynamic q-rung orthopair fuzzy aggregation operators (AOs) for solving multi-period decision-making issues in which all decision information is given by decision makers in the form of “q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers” (q-ROPFNs) spanning diverse time periods. Einstein AOs are used to provide seamless information fusion, taking this advantage we proposed two new AOs namely, “dynamic q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (DQROPFEWA) operator and dynamic q-rung orthopair fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric (DQROPFEWG) operator”. Several attractive features of these AOs are addressed in depth. Additionally, we develop a method for addressing multi-period decision-making problems by using ideal solutions. To demonstrate the suggested approach’s use, a numerical example is provided for calculating the impact of “coronavirus disease” 2019 (COVID-19) on everyday living. Finally, a comparison of the proposed and existing studies is performed to establish the efficacy of the proposed method. The given AOs and decision-making technique have broad use in real-world multi-stage decision analysis and dynamic decision analysis.
