AbstractThe complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy (CQ-ROF) set can describe the complex uncertain information. In this manuscript, we develop the Yager operational laws based on the CQ-ROF information and Yager t-norm and t-conorm. Furthermore, in aggregating the CQ-ROF values, the power, averaging, and geometric aggregation operators have played a very essential and critical role in the environment of fuzzy set. Inspired from the discussed operators, we propose the CQ-ROF power Yager averaging (CQ-ROFPYA), CQ-ROF power Yager ordered averaging (CQ-ROFPYOA), CQ-ROF power Yager geometric (CQ-ROFPYG), and CQ-ROF power Yager ordered geometric (CQ-ROFPYOG) operators. These operators are the modified version of the Power, Yager, averaging, geometric, and the combination of these all based on fuzzy set (FS), intuitionistic FS, Pythagorean FS, q-rung orthopair FS, complex FS, complex intuitionistic FS, and complex Pythagorean FS. Moreover, we also discuss the main properties of the proposed operators. Additionally, we develop a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method based on the developed operators. To show the supremacy and validity of the proposed method, the comparison between the proposed method and some existing methods is done by some examples, and results show that the proposed method is better than the others in terms of generality and effectiveness.
