Abstract

This study introduces novel aggregation operators for Type-2 Neutrosophic Number Sets (T2NNs) by integrating the Hamy Mean with the Aczel-Alsina t-norm and t-conorm operations. The Hamy Mean, a mathematical averaging technique, is particularly effective in contexts characterized by uncertainty and ambiguity, such as fuzzy set theory. Leveraging this, two aggregation operators are proposed: the T2NN Aczel-Alsina Hamy Mean (T2NNAAHM) and the T2NN Aczel-Alsina Weighted Hamy Mean (T2NNAAWHM). The study presents the formal definitions, underlying operations, theoretical foundations, and proofs of these operators. Their applicability is demonstrated through a Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) case study, followed by comparative analyses to evaluate their performance and robustness. The findings indicate that T2NNAAHM and T2NNAAWHM are effective tools for decision-making problems involving T2NNs. This research contributes to the field by providing rigorously defined aggregation operators that address uncertainty and ambiguity, thereby enhancing the methodological toolkit available for complex decision-making scenarios.
