Linguistic interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy TOPSIS method for decision making problem with incomplete weight

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of linguistic interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (LIVq-ROFS) as a generalization of linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy set. We develop some basic operations, score and accuracy functions to compare the LIVq-ROF values (LIVq-ROFVs). Based on the proposed operations a series of aggregation techniques to aggregate the LIVq-ROFVs and some of their desirable properties are discussed in detail. Moreover, a TOPSIS method is developed to solve a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem under LIVq-ROFS setting. Furthermore, a MCDM approach is proposed based on the developed operators and TOPSIS method, then a practical decision making example is given in order to explain the proposed method. To illustrate to effectiveness and application of the proposed method a comparative study is also conducted.
