Abstract

This article takes advantage of advancements in two different fields in order to produce a novel decision-making framework. First, we contribute to the theory of aggregation operators, which are mappings that combine large amounts of data into more advantageous forms. They are extensively used in different settings from classical to fuzzy set theory alike. Secondly, we expand the literature on complex Pythagorean fuzzy model, which has an edge over other models due to its ability to handle uncertain data of periodic nature. We propose some aggregation operators for complex Pythagorean fuzzy numbers that depend on the Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm, namely, the complex Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher weighted average operator, the complex Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted average operator, and the complex Pythagorean fuzzy Hamacher hybrid average operator. We explore some properties of these operators inclusive of idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness. Then, the operators are applied to multicriteria decision-making problems under the complex Pythagorean fuzzy environment. Furthermore, we present an algorithm along with a flow chart, and we demonstrate their applicability with the assistance of two numerical examples (selection of most favorable country for immigrants and selection of the best programming language). We investigate the adequacy of this algorithm by conducting a comparative study with the case of complex intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators.
