Selecting industrial locations is complex. This study introduces a new Fermatean Fuzzy Linguistic (FFL) approach using Dombi aggregation operators to handle uncertain information, improving multi-criteria decision-making for strategic site selection.
Area of Science:
- Operations Research
- Decision Science
- Fuzzy Set Theory
Background:
- Industrial location selection is a complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem.
- Decision-makers often face ambiguous information due to complex environments or limited knowledge.
- Existing methods may struggle with the inherent uncertainty and linguistic vagueness in location selection criteria.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a comprehensive framework for strategic industrial location selection.
- To introduce a novel Fermatean Fuzzy Linguistic (FFL) term set for representing uncertain evaluation information.
- To develop a new multi-criteria group decision-making technique based on FFL Dombi aggregation operators.
Main Methods:
- Development of a new Fermatean Fuzzy Linguistic (FFL) term set.
- Establishment of operational principles and aggregation operators (FFLDWA, FFLDWG) for FFL information.
- Construction of a multi-criteria group decision-making technique utilizing the proposed FFL Dombi operators.
- Validation through a numerical example comparing the technique with existing methods.
Main Results:
- The proposed FFL set effectively represents uncertain and linguistic evaluation information.
- The developed FFL Dombi aggregation operators provide robust methods for aggregating fuzzy linguistic data.
- The new decision-making technique demonstrates flexibility and effectiveness in strategic industrial location selection.
- Numerical example confirms the superiority and adaptability of the proposed approach.
Conclusions:
- The Fermatean Fuzzy Linguistic approach offers a powerful tool for handling ambiguity in industrial location selection.
- The integration of Dombi aggregation operators enhances the capability of MCDM methods in complex decision environments.
- The proposed framework provides a reliable and flexible method for identifying optimal industrial sites based on prioritized criteria.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
