Interval-Valued q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy QUALIFLEX Decision Analysis Method with Dombi Operators by Benting Wan, Xiaolu Zhang, Meifang Xiong, Zhenwu Wang

“…The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) we first propose interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy Dombi operational laws and investigate their desirable properties; (2) using the developed Dombi operational laws, we develop an interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy Dombi weighted average (IVq-ROFDWA) operator, and we prove that the IVq-ROFDWA operator satisfies the properties of idempotency, commutativity, boundedness, and monotonicity; (3) we introduce the concept of interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy ideal group opinions with the help of IVq-ROFDWA operator and propose a new weight-determining method for identifying the weights of experts; (4) we develop a new interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy distance measure. …”
