Abstract

The study explores the utilization of Hamacher aggregation operators (HAOs) in inscription selection for medical health projects. We employ interval-valued complex T-spherical fuzzy (IVCTSF) information to address the inherent uncertainties in healthcare data. In this paper, we develop the multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems with IVCTSF set information. A few HAOs built on IVCTSF sets are presented in this work. We practice the Hamacher t-norm (HTNM) and Hamacher t-conorm (HTCNM) to characterize certain operational Hamacher operational rules within the context of the IVCTSF sets. We utilize averaging and geometric operations to develop a family of operators for aggregating IVCTSF information, namely IVCTSF Hamacher weighted averaging (IVCTFHWA), IVCTSF Hamacher order weighted averaging (IVCTSFHOWA), IVCTSF Hamacher hybrid weighted averaging (IVCTSFHHWA), IVCTSF Hamacher weighted geometric (IVCTSFHWG), IVCTSF Hamacher ordered weighted geometric (IVCTSFHOWG), and IVCTSF Hamacher hybrid weighted geometric (IVCTSFHHWG) operators.  Several noteworthy properties of the developed operators are examined. Besides, an approach to the MADM algorithm is formulated using the proposed operators and is applied to a detailed case study. The case study measures the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, analyzes the effect of variable parameters on the decision-making procedure, and ensures the stability of ranking results. A comparative analysis is conducted against existing studies to underscore the significance and advantages. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in improving decision-making for healthcare management in complex scenarios.
