Approach to Multiattribute Decision-Making Problems Based on Neutrality Aggregation Operators of Picture Fuzzy Information

This manuscript is aimed at developing some novel operational laws named scalar neutrality operation and neutrality addition on picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs). The main focus of this work is to involve the neutral behaviour of the experts towards the priorities of entities where it presents equal degrees to independent membership functions. Moreover, based on these operations, some novel aggregation operators are established to aggregate the different priorities of experts. Some useful relations and characteristics are examined thoroughly. Lastly, the multiattribute group decision-making algorithm in accordance with the suggested operation is illustrated and examined a case study in order to choose a suitable mining company for a mining project along with several numerical examples. The advantages, as well as the superiority of the suggested approach, are exhibited by comparing the results with a few existing methods.
