Abstract
In general, the information associated with real-life problems is ambiguous and imprecise, interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets are an excellent medium to represent the ambiguity of information. The assessment obtained by the Bonferroni mean (BM) can manifest the correlation among the arguments. In this study, the power average operator is fused with the Bonferroni mean under the interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy environment to develop some novel power Bonferroni mean operators such as the generalized interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy power Bonferroni mean (GIVIHFPBM) and the generalized interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy power geometric Bonferroni mean (GIVIHFPGBM). The most prominent characteristic of these proposed operators is that they can not only reflect the correlation among the attributes but also have the unique ability to permit the aggregated values to assist and strengthen each other. Due to this exceptional feature, the GIVIHFPBM and the GIVIHFPGBM operators can reduce the abnormality that may occur in the preference order of the overall aggregated arguments. Further, we investigate some of the special cases and discussed some of the desired properties of the proposed operators. Moreover, an MCDM method is developed based on the proposed operators. Finally, the proposed MCDM method is demonstrated with a numerical example.
