Abstract

This article presents a novel approach to a decision support system for handling uncertainty and impreciseness in a large amount of human opinion. Sometimes, the aggregation of real-life applications is quite complex due to incomplete and redundant information about different preferences or alternatives. To handle such type of situations, a spherical fuzzy environment is a more effective and feasible framework with four components membership, abstinence, non-membership and refusal degree. We also formulate some flexible operations of Sugeno-Weber aggregation operators. Motivated by the theory of Sugeno-Weber t-norms, we constructed a family of mathematical methodologies, including Sugeno-Weber weighted average and weighted geometric operators in the light of spherical fuzzy information. An appropriate decision-making technique of the multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem is also demonstrated to resolve complicated real-life applications. A numerical example is used to verify the compatibility and effectiveness of discussed mathematical approaches.
