文摘As the quantity of garbage created every day rises,solid waste management has become the world’s most important issue.As a result,improper solid waste disposal and major sanitary issues develop,which are only detected after they have become dangerous.Due to the system’s lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic,this scenario became much more uncertain.We are at the stage to develop and execute effective waste management procedures,as well as long-term policies and forward-thinking programmes that can work even in the most adverse of scenarios.We incorporate major solid waste(organic and inorganic solid wastes)approaches that actually perform well in normal cases by reducing waste and environmental disasters;however,in such an uncertain scenario like the COVID-19 pandemic,the project automatically allows for a larger number of criteria,all of which are dealt with using fuzzy Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making(MCGDM)methods.The ELECTRE Ⅲ(ELimination Et Choice Translating REality-Ⅲ)approach,which is a novel decision-making strategy for determining the best way to dispose and reduce garbage by combining traditional ELECTRE Ⅲ with an interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy set(IVq-ROFS),is described in detail in this article.To confirm the efficacy of the recommended model,a numerical explanation is provided,as well as sensitivity and comparative analyses.Obviously,the findings encourage decision-makers in authorities to deliberate about the proposals before creating solid waste management policies.
文摘Effective crowdfunding platforms positively contribute toward improving micro-grid energy management systems.Therefore,a comprehensive analysis is required to understand the key factors responsible for success in crowdfunding systems by considering various criteria.This study evaluates crowdfunding platforms for microgrid project investments.In this context,a novel fuzzy decision-making model that includes two different stages is proposed.First,the selected criteria for the crowdfunding platforms for microgrid project investments are evaluated.Second,alternatives,regarding the microgrid project investments,are ranked.In this process,a multi-stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis(M-SWARA)approach based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets(q-ROFSs)is considered.Intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets are also used in the calculation process to make a comparative evaluation.Similarly,a sensitivity analysis of the ranking alternatives is also conducted with 12 different q values.All the results are rather similar;thus,the findings are reliable.Another model is also created for this purpose with the help of the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory(DEMA-TEL)and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution methodologies to check the performance of the proposed model.It is defined that by considering the q-ROF DEMATEL weights,the ranking results vary for different cases.The proposed model with a M-SWARA is more reliable than the model created via the DEMATEL method.This situation provides information regarding the superiority of the model proposed in this study.It is concluded that security is the most important factor in crowdfunding platforms for smart-grid project investors.Additionally,solar panels and energy storage systems/batteries are the most significant alternatives for microgrid project investors.Necessary measures should be taken to forestall the risk of fraud that may occur on this platform.Therefore,the website to be established must be secure against possible hacking attacks.Another important conclusion of this study is that solar panels should be preliminarily developed to increase the effectiveness of microgrid systems.

文摘The Maclaurin symmetric mean(MSM)operator exhibits a desirable characteristic by effectively capturing the correlations among multiple input parameters,and it serves as an extension of certain existing aggregation operators through adjustments to the parameter k.The hesitant q-rung orthopair set(Hq-ROFSs)can serve as an extension of the existing orthopair fuzzy sets,which provides decision makers more freedom in describing their true opinions.The objective of this paper is to present an MSM operator to aggregate hesitant q-rung orthopair numbers and solve the multiple attribute decision making(MADM)problems in which the attribute values take the form of hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets(H-qROFSs).Firstly,the definition of H-qROFSs and some operational laws of H-qROFSs are proposed.Then we develop a family of hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy maclaurin symmetric mean aggregation operators,such as the hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy maclaurin symmetric mean(Hq-ROFMSM)operator,the hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted maclaurin symmetric mean(Hq-ROFWMSM)operator,the hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy dual maclaurin symmetric mean(Hq-ROFDMSM)operator,the hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy weighted dual maclaurin symmetric mean(Hq-ROFWDMSM)operator.And the properties and special cases of these proposed operators are studied.Furthermore,an approach based on the Hq-ROFWMSM operator is proposed for multiple attribute decision making problems under hesitant q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment.Finally,a numerical example and comparative analysis is given to illustrate the application of the proposed approach.

文摘Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to develop the linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy set(LqROFS)information VIKOR method based on the bi-direction Choquet integral(BDCI),taking into account the correlation between information.The method can enrich the existing studies related to LqROFS information and better solve the problem of MAGDM problem.Design/methodology/approach-Since applying Choquet integral(CI)depict information interaction is a common operation in MAGDM.However,the traditional CI has some limitations.The unidirectional alignment may affect the MAGDM results.Therefore,a LqROFS-VIKOR method based on BDCI is proposed,where BDCI is used to aggregate the decision matrix.Furthermore,it is not reasonable to apply exact numbers to express the similarity between two qualitative data.Then a new method of defining similarity using linguistics is proposed.The similarity is used to calculate attribute weights.Findings-The validity and potential application of MAGMD method with linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy information based on BDCI are demonstrated in a numerical examples study.Originality/value-According to the study of available literature,the current research on LqROFS is incomplete.The existing studies of both similarity and aggregate operators have certain shortcomings.The definition of similarity proposed in this paper is more in line with reality.And compared with the existing methods,the BDCI-based aggregate operator can describe the interaction between information more reasonably.Based on this VIKOR method based on BDCI under the LqROFS environment can better select the alternative.
