Abstract
The aim of this paper is to propose the 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic aggregation operators and a decision-making approach to deal with uncertainties in the form of 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic sets. 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic operators have more flexibility than general fuzzy set. We proposed a numbers of aggregation operators, namely 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic weighted average, 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic ordered weighted average, 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic hybrid average, 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic weighted geometric, 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic ordered geometric, and 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic hybrid geometric operators. The distinguishing feature of these proposed operators is studied. At that point, we have used these operators to design a model to deal with multiple attribute decision-making issues under the 2-tuple spherical fuzzy linguistic information. Then, a practical application for best company selection for feeds is given to prove the introduced technique and to show its practicability and effectiveness. Besides this, a systematic comparison analysis with other existent methods is conducted to reveal the advantage of our method. Results indicate that the proposed method is suitable and effective for decision making problems.
