A hesitant fuzzy (HF) set is an extension of the fuzzy sets and a T-spherical fuzzy set (T-SFS) is a generalization of the spherical fuzzy set (SFS). HF set has a significant role for modelling disagreements of the decision-makers over membership degree of an element. Also, T-SFS is quite effective in the modelling of the uncertainty for decision-making (DM) problems. In this paper, we define the concept of hesitant T-spherical fuzzy (HT-SF) set (HT-SFS) by combining concepts of HF set and T-SFS, and present some set-theoretical operations of HT-SFSs. We also develop the Dombi operations on HT-SFSs. We present some aggregation operators based on Dombi operators, including hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging operator, hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy weighted geometric averaging operator, hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy ordered weighted arithmetic averaging operator, and hesitant T-spherical Dombi fuzzy ordered weighted geometric averaging operator, and investigate some properties of them. In addition, we give a multi-criteria group decision-making method and algorithm of the proposed method under the hesitant T-spherical fuzzy environment. To show the process of proposed method, we present an example related to the selection of the most suitable person for the assistant professorship position in a university. Besides this, we present a comparative analysis with existing operators to reveal the advantages and authenticity of our technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
