Abstract

A contribution of this article is to introduce new q-rung Orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) aggregation operators (AOs) as the consequence of Aczel–Alsina (AA) t-norm (TN) (AATN) and t-conorm (TCN) (AATCN) and their specific advantages in handling real-world problems. In the beginning, we introduce a few new q-ROF numbers (q-ROFNs) operations, including sum, product, scalar product, and power operations based on AATN and AATCN. At that point, we construct a few q-ROF AOs such as q-ROF Aczel–Alsina weighted averaging (q-ROFAAWA) and q-ROF Aczel–Alsina weighted geometric (q-ROFAAWG) operators. It is illustrated that suggested AOs have the features of monotonicity, boundedness, idempotency, and commutativity. Then, to address multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) challenges, we develop new strategies based on these operators. To demonstrate the compatibility and performance of our suggested approach, we offer an example of construction material selection. The outcome demonstrates the new technique’s applicability and viability. Finally, we comprehensively compare current procedures with the proposed approach.
