Abstract

In the realistic decision-making (DM) process, the DM results were provided by multiple DM experts, which are more accurate than those based on one DM expert. Therefore, the multi-granulation rough set (MGRS) model is more accurate in DM problems. It is imperative to apply the idea of multi-granulation to the complex fuzzy uncertain information. By combining q-rung dual hesitant fuzzy sets (q-DHFSs) with multi-granulation rough sets (MGRSs) over two universes, we propose a q-rung dual hesitant fuzzy multi-granulation rough set (q-RDHFMGRS) over two universes, and prove some of their basic properties. Then, based on this model, we propose a new multi-attribute DM algorithm. Finally, we validate the practicability and validity of the algorithm through an example of medical diagnosis.
