Description
Summary:Abstract This study proposes novel operational laws that extend the Frank t-norm and t-conorm to develop a new class of aggregation operators (AOs), namely the $$p,q-$$ quasirung orthopair fuzzy Frank weighted average, weighted geometric, ordered weighted average, and ordered weighted geometric operators. These operators are specifically designed to manage uncertain and imprecise information within multi-attribute group decision-making (MGADM) environments. The proposed operators exhibit desirable mathematical properties such as flexibility, robustness, and compatibility, making them highly suitable for complex fuzzy decision contexts. Flexibility is notably enhanced through the independent tuning of the parameters $$p$$ , $$q$$ , and $$\tau$$ , allowing for more refined control over membership (MD), non-membership (NMD), and interaction behaviors. An entropy-based approach is employed to objectively determine unknown attribute weights, minimizing subjective bias. A real-world case study on the selection of an optimal investment location demonstrates the practical applicability of the proposed method. The results show an improvement in decision-making accuracy by approximately 7.5% compared to traditional approaches. Sensitivity analysis confirms the stability and reliability of the proposed operators under varying conditions. Comparative results further highlight the method’s superiority in terms of accuracy, interpretability, and adaptability to input variations. The paper concludes by outlining special cases and acknowledging certain limitations, offering directions for future research.
