Quasirung orthopair fuzzy linguistic sets and their application to multi criteria decision making
Linguistic term fuzzy sets provide an intuitive way to express preferences, enhancing understanding and communication among decision-makers. In this article, we introduce the novel concept of p,q-quasirung orthopair fuzzy linguistic sets (p,q-QOFLSs), which merge the principles of p,q-quasirung orthopair fuzzy sets (p,q-QOFSs) with linguistic fuzzy sets. This new framework offers a more robust approach to handle uncertain and imprecise information in decision-making processes, characterized by linguistic membership and non-membership degrees. We establish several fundamental operational laws, alongside score and accuracy functions, to facilitate the comparison of p,q-quasirung orthopair fuzzy linguistic numbers. Leveraging these operational laws, we propose a series of weighted averaging and geometric operators under p,q-QOFLSs. Furthermore, we formulate a multi-attribute decision-making methodology using these operators. The significance of the proposed method lies in its ability to model complex decision-making scenarios with enhanced precision. A numerical example validates the practicality and adaptability of the methodology, supported by sensitivity analyses and comparative evaluations, highlighting the innovation and efficiency of the approach.
