Summary: A probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set is introduced as a generalization of the hesitant fuzzy set for handling uncertain information when there is no complete consensus among decision-makers. This paper presents a novel Choquet integral-based TODIM method and validates its effectiveness through a supplier selection problem in the dairy industry.

Summary: Evaluating and prioritizing service quality in higher education is crucial for the successful implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This study proposes an evaluation framework that incorporates sustainability-related indicators into the fuzzy SERVQUAL scale to assess the performance of higher education institutes (HEIs) based on student-perceived service quality. The evaluation of student-perceived service quality is approached as a multicriteria decision-making problem, and a hybrid fuzzy TODIM-ERA evaluation technique is introduced to address uncertainty and bounded rationality. A case study of five Chinese HEIs in maritime transportation demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework, providing ranking orders and improvement strategies for each HEI in terms of student-perceived service quality dimensions.

Summary: In this paper, a novel fuzzy entropy named as the exponential probabilistic hesitant fuzzy entropy is proposed to measure the uncertainty of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy information. Based on this, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem is presented, and an application case in green building demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method.

Summary: In this paper, a spherical fuzzy TODIM approach based on cumulative prospect theory (SF-CPT-TODIM) is proposed for commercial insurance selection in MAGDM. It effectively captures the psychological perception of decision makers and obtains attribute weights through the CRITIC method under SFSs when they are unknown. The practical example demonstrates the availability and superiority of the proposed method compared to existing approaches.
