Abstract

Building upon the foundation of Hesitant Fuzzy (HF) sets and T-Spherical Fuzzy (T-SFS) sets, this paper introduces the Hesitant T-Spherical Fuzzy (HT-SFS) set and presents its fundamental set-theoretical and Hamacher operations.
To provide a flexible and general framework for aggregating HT-SF information, this paper leverages the generalized Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm, which subsume several other operational laws as special cases. We introduce a family of novel aggregation operators based on these Hamacher operations, including the hesitant T-spherical fuzzy Hamacher weighted arithmetic averaging (HTSFHWAA) operator, hesitant T-spherical fuzzy Hamacher weighted geometric averaging (HTSFHWGA) operator, hesitant T-spherical fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted arithmetic averaging (HTSFHOWAA) operator, and hesitant T-spherical fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted geometric averaging (HTSFHOWGA) operator. The fundamental properties of these operators are investigated. Additionally, we provide a multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) method and algorithm of the suggested method under the hesitant T-spherical fuzzy environment. To demonstrate the proposed method, we present an example related to filling a project manager position in child protection at an international organization.
