Abstract
In this article, we introduce dual hesitantq -rung orthopair fuzzy 2-tuple linguistic set (DHq-ROFTLS), a new strategy for dealing with uncertainty that incorporates a 2-tuple linguistic term into dual hesitantq -rung orthopair fuzzy set (DHq-ROFS). DHq-ROFTLS is a better way to deal with uncertain and imprecise information in the decision-making environment. We elaborate the operational rules, based on which, the DHq-ROFTL weighted averaging (DHq-ROFTLWA) operator and the DHq-ROFTL weighted geometric (DHq-ROFTLWG) operator are presented to fuse the DHq-ROFTL numbers (DHq-ROFTLNs). As Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) aggregation operator is a useful tool to model the interrelationship between multi-input arguments, we generalize the traditional MSM to aggregate DHq-ROFTL information. Firstly, the DHq-ROFTL Maclaurin symmetric mean (DHq-ROFTLMSM) and the DHq-ROFTL weighted Maclaurin symmetric mean (DHq-ROFTLWMSM) operators are proposed along with some of their desirable properties and some special cases. Further, the DHq-ROFTL dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (DHq-ROFTLDMSM) and weighted dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (DHq-ROFTLWDMSM) operators with some properties and cases are presented. Moreover, the assessment and prioritizing of the most important aspects in multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems is analysed by an extended novel approach based on the proposed aggregation operators under DHq-ROFTL framework. At long last, a numerical model is provided for the selection of adequate medication to control COVID-19 outbreaks to demonstrate the use of the generated technique and exhibit its adequacy. Finally, to analyse the advantages of the proposed method, a comparison analysis is conducted and the superiorities are illustrated.
