Özet

A significant development in fuzzy set theory is the (p,q)-rung linear Diophantine fuzzy set. In this study, the (p,q)-rung linear Diophantine fuzzy hypersoft set was introduced by combining it with the hypersoft set, along with some of its algebraic operations. Additionally, to address real-life similarity problems with multi-sub-attributes under the (p,q)-rung linear Diophantine fuzzy environment, distance measures and novel similarity measures are proposed for the (p,q)-rung linear Diophantine fuzzy hypersoft set. In addition, a highly efficient algorithm for real-world multi-attribute decision-making problems that utilizes the proposed similarity measures is presented. Also, a multi-attribute decision-making problem in urban transportation is presented as an illustrative example of the proposed algorithm, in which a metropolitan city’s transportation department selects the most suitable alternative transportation system from a set of high-quality systems. To demonstrate the reliability, validity, superiority, and robustness of the proposed concept and method, a thorough comparative analysis with appropriate explanations has been provided.
