q-Rung orthopair fuzzy set (qROFS) and m-polar fuzzy set (mPFS) are rudimentary concepts in the computational intelligence, which have diverse applications in fuzzy modeling and decision making under uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to introduce the hybrid concept of q-rung orthopair m-polar fuzzy set (qROmPFS) as a hybrid model of q-rung orthopair fuzzy set and m-polar fuzzy set. A qROmPFS has the ability to deal with real life situations when decision experts are interested to deal with multi-polarity as well as membership and non-membership grades to the alternatives in an extended domain with q-ROF environment. Certain operations on qROmPFSs and several new notions like support, core, height, concentration, dilation, α-cut and (α, β)-cut of qROmPFS are defined. Additionally, grey relational analysis (GRA) and choice value method (CVM) are presented under qROmPFSs for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) in robotic agri-farming. The proposed methods are suitable to find out an appropriate mode of farming among several kinds of agri-farming. The applications of proposed MCDM approaches are illustrated by respective numerical examples. To justify the feasibility, superiority and reliability of proposed techniques, the comparison analysis of the final ranking in the robotic agri-farming computed by the proposed techniques with some existing MCDM methods is also given.

In this article, we study some concepts related to q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft sets (q-ROFSSs) together with their algebraic structure. We present operations on q-ROFSSs and their specific properties and elaborate them with real-life examples and tabular representations to develop an influx of linguistic variables based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft (q-ROFS) information. We present an application of q-ROFSSs to multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) process related to the university choice, accompanied by algorithm and flowchart. We develop q-ROFS TOPSIS method and q-ROFS VIKOR method as extensions of TOPSIS (a technique for ordering preference through the ideal solution) and VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje), respectively. Finally, we tackle a problem of construction utilizing q-ROFS TOPSIS and q-ROFS VIKOR methods.

Fuzzy hybrid models are strong mathematical tools to address vague and uncertain information in real-life circumstances. The aim of this article is to introduce a new fuzzy hybrid model named as of q-rung orthopair m-polar fuzzy soft set (q-RO-m-PFSS) as a robust fusion of soft set (SS), m-polar fuzzy set (m-PFS) and q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (q-ROFS). A q-RO-m-PFSS is a new approach towards modelling uncertainties in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. Some fundamental operations on q-RO-m-PFSSs, their key properties, and related significant results are introduced. Additionally, the complexity of logistics and supply chain management during COVID-19 is analysed using TOPSIS (technique for ordering preference through the ideal solution) and GRA (grey relational analysis) with the help of q-RO-m-PFS information. The linguistic terms are used to express q-RO-m-PFS information in terms of numeric values. The proposed approaches are worthy efficient in the selection of ventilator's manufacturers for the patients suffering from epidemic disease named as COVID-19. A practical application of proposed MCDM techniques is demonstrated by respective numerical examples. The comparison analysis of the final ranking computed by proposed techniques is also given to justify the feasibility, applicability and reliability of these techniques.

Modeling uncertainties with multipolar information is an important tool in computational intelligence to address complexities in real‐world circumstances. An m‐polar fuzzy set (mPFS) is the strong model to express multipolarity with m $m$ membership grades (MGs) in the unit closed interval [ 0 , 1 ] $[0,1]$. A q‐rung orthopair fuzzy set (qROFS) is the strong model to express vague and uncertain information with MGs and nonmembership grades (NMGs). The notion of q‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy set is a new hybrid extension of both mPFS and qROFS. An ROmPFS is a generalized concept that has the ability to deal with multipolarity with m $m$ ordered pairs of MGs and NMGs. Motivated by these robust concepts, in this article, various aggregation operators (AOs) for the aggregation of q‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy numbers are proposed, including q‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy weighted averaging operator, symmetric q‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy weighted averaging operator, q‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy weighted geometric operator, symmetric q‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy weighted geometric operator, and q $q$‐rung orthopair m‐polar fuzzy Maclaurin symmetric mean operator. On the basis of proposed AOs, a robust multicriteria decision‐making approach is proposed. An application of proposed AOs is presented to address economic crises during COVID‐19. Furthermore, the comparison analysis is designed to discuss the validity and rationality of proposed AOs.
