The digital green concept refers to the devotion to digital technology, i.e., techniques of procedures in the area of ecological or sustainable conservation. It contains leveraging digital techniques, procedures, and new tools to evaluate environmental problems and promote sustainable development. The major influence of this article is to evaluate the selection of the best digital green technology. For this, we aim to propose the idea of Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operators based on interaction operational laws for T-spherical fuzzy (TSF) information, such as TSF interaction weighted averaging (TSFIWA), generalized TSF interaction weighted averaging (GTSFIWA), TSF interaction weighted geometric averaging (TSFIWGA), TSF interaction MSM (TSFIMSM), TSF interaction Bonferroni mean (TSFIBM), and TSF interaction weighted Maclaurin symmetric mean (TSFIWMSM) operators. Some dominant and reliable properties are also invented for evaluation. Moreover, to address the best digital green innovation (DGI) among the top five DGIs, we illustrate the procedure of the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique under the presence of the derived operators. Finally, we demonstrate a numerical example for evaluating the comparative study between the proposed and existing or prevailing operators to enhance the worth of the derived theory.
1 Introduction
The term “digital green sustainable” describes how digital technology and procedures are used to support environmental sustainability and lower carbon emissions. It includes many facets of technology with an emphasis on reducing their environmental effect, including data centers, cloud computing, software applications, and gadgets. The goal of digital green sustainable practices is to maximize technology’s benefits while reducing its environmental harm. Organizations and people may help create a digital ecosystem that is more environmentally friendly and sustainable by using these practices. Moreover, to discover the best or finest decision from the collection of preferences, the theory of the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique is very famous and reliable for evaluating the best pick from the array of choices, where the idea of the MADM approach is the sub-division of the decision-making procedure. However, in the presence of classical information, we faced a lot of complications because we have only two possibilities, such as 0 or 1, but not between unit intervals. Therefore, the theory of fuzzy set (FS) was proposed by Zadeh (1965), which described the membership whose values are contained in the unit interval. Furthermore, many scholars have raised the question of what would happen if we involved the falsity grade in the FS because the negative or falsity information is an initial and central part of every real-life problem. Therefore, Atanassov (1986) discovered the idea of intuitionistic FS (IFS). The IFS deals with yes or no types of theory, with the role that the sum of both degrees in the duplet should be contained in the unit interval. Furthermore, Yager (2013) improved or modified the theory of Pythagorean FS (PyFS). Moreover, Yager (2016) initiated the idea of q-rung orthopair FS (qROFS) with a valuable and robust condition such as
The most accurate way for an information alliance is an aggregate operator. Numerous writers have presented multiple aggregation operators over the past 10 years. The average mean (AM) operator is the most commonly used AO since it makes it simple to aggregate all the different data into a comprehensive form. Several practical AOs have also been developed that are useful for collecting data in ambiguous and complex fuzzy decision-making contexts, such as geometric mean (GM), Bonferroni mean (BM), and Heronian mean (HM). Other AM AOs for MADM have been created in past years. Any of the operators mentioned previously do not consider the relationships between the values being used. To resolve this issue, Yager developed the concept of power AO (Yager, 2001). Power AOs significantly impact the relationship of the data being aggregated. Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operators in the aggregation theory are one of the research topics that have gained the most significant interest. The MSM was first proposed by Maclaurin (Jstor, 2022) and later made famous by Detemple and Robertson (Jstor, 2022). The relationship of numerous input arguments can be overcome by MSM, which defines its characteristics. The significant difference between MSM and BM is that MSM may represent interactions among more than input data arguments, but BM cannot. For the given statements, MSM monotonically decreases concerning the parameter value. MSM accepts the fact that opinions are transformed into crisp numbers.
However, Liu et al. (2020) investigated partitioned MSM operators for MADM applications within IFSs. Qin and Liu. (2014) introduced IF MSM (IFMSM) operators. In the technology domain, Wei and Lu. (2018) investigated the Pythagorean fuzzy MSM (PyFMSM) operators. By creating transactional PyFMSM operators for the applications of MADM, Yang and Pang. (2018) also enhanced the efficiency of PyFMSM operators. For the MADM, Wei et al. (2019) proposed the q-Rung orthopair fuzzy MSM (qROFMSM) operators. At the same time, Wang et al. (2019) enhanced the concept of the qROFMSM operator. MSM operations for linguistic variables were examined by Liu and Qin. (2017) using an IF layout, while Qin et al. (2015) introduced the MSM operators in hesitant fuzzy contexts. Further information and applications of MSM operators are shown in Wang et al. (2018); Yu et al. (2018); Ju et al. (2016); Ullah (2021); Ashraf et al. (2022).
In particular circumstances, the aggregating outcomes from IFS’s traditional operations are illogical, especially when there is zero NMD of the TSFS. Because operations of IFSs cannot consider interactions between truth and non-membership, He et al. (2014b) suggested the operational interaction laws of IFNs to solve this issue. When the NMD of IFNs is 0, the issues may be resolved, and these rules appropriately consider interactions between the membership and non-membership functions. Our proposed work is more appropriate than the that of existing operators because if any of the NMDs is 0, utilizing the existing operators affects all the other NMD values and gives zero aggregated value, whereas utilizing the proposed work zero does not affect the other ones. In our proposed work, we are using the TSFS as it is more useful than the other extensions of the FS because it gives independency to choose NMD by our own choice between
Green innovation” is the technological innovation that involves energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste recycling, green product design, or corporate environmental management. Digital technology is crucial for green innovation, and FS theory is typically the best option when it comes to assessing and modeling human knowledge during the process of digital green innovation (DGI). The purpose of this article is to discuss new developments in FS models and their use in DGI in engineering processes and practical accomplishments. Green innovation indicates all forms of invention that minimize green destruction and guarantee that biological supplies are utilized most effectively and efficiently as possible. A study on DGI can be seen in Yin et al. (2022); Yin and Yu (2022); Dong et al. (2023). Furthermore, fuzzy set theory is a valuable and dominant technique for modeling and evaluating human knowledge regarding DGI. Inspired by the aforementioned information, the major influence of this analysis is stated as follows:
1. To derive the theory of GTSFIWA, GTSFIA, TSFIWA, TSFIA, and TSFIWGA operators.
2. To discover the idea of TSFIMSM, TSFIBM, and TSFIWMSM operators.
3. To expose some valuable properties for the evaluated work.
4. To discuss the MADM technique under the presence of the derived operators.
5. To illustrate, a numerical example for evaluating the comparative study between proposed and existing or prevailing operators is applied to enhance the worth of the derived theory.
The rest of our work is divided into different sections. We primarily introduce the basic ideas of T-SFSs and interaction MSM operators in Section 2. We introduce the GTSFIWA, GTSFIA, TSFIWA, TSFIA, TSFIWGA, TSFIGA, and GTSFIWGA operators in Section 3. We defined the TSFIMSM and TSFIWMSM operators in Section 4 and described their properties. Using the proposed operators, we provide a new MADM technique in Section 5 and step-by-step instructions. In Section 6, we illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed MADM method and compare it with that of the recent techniques using a real-world application. The conclusions of this paper are presented in Section 7.

5.1 Application in digital green innovation
Green innovation is a process that involves developing green technologies, products, and processes as well as the accompanying companies, management, and systems. Digital innovation creates new possibilities for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Based on the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, a fundamental framework for the world’s response to climate change has been formed. Green innovation” is technological innovation that involves energy conservation, pollution prevention, waste recycling, green product design, or corporate environmental management. These innovations can significantly lessen the negative effects on the environment while also generating value for the company and its stakeholders. How to improve the green competitiveness and profit of enterprises in the environment of climate change is an important issue. In this case, we need to choose the most talented entrepreneurs from a large number of alternative projects to invest in. The criteria and methods presented in this paper are applicable to the selection of DGI investment projects.
Example 1: Pakistan has been listed as one of the top 10 nations in the world most impacted by climate change. The country’s environmental sustainability strategy is managed by the government. All people concerned must take responsibility for maintaining the ecosystem and its resources, both the governmental and private organizations and particular people. To encourage the development of ideas and solutions for some of the most serious issues we face, the National Incubation Center regularly hosts tech conferences and innovation challenges. It is an honor to have teamed up with Pak Mission Society to find solutions to issues related to climate change, given the situation of the environment at the moment. We will be asking Pakistan’s most talented entrepreneurs
Based on the theory, this study constructs a framework system for enterprises to choose DGI investment projects.
Solving the numerical example using decision-making steps is the best way to get the optimal solution.

The interrelation among membership, abstinence, and non-membership is not considered if operations of TSFVs in Definition 2 are utilized in the aggregation procedure. In Step 2, the aggregation operations mentioned previously are utilized, and the outcomes are shown in Table 12. It is clear from the outcomes that these differ from those of the TSFI operators, including the TSFIA, TSFIWA, TSFIGA, TSFIWGA, GTSFIA, and GTSFIWA operators, which are displayed in Table 12. With regards to the attribute
It is worth noticing that the results obtained using different operators are different. This is because of the nature of the operators and the parameters involved. For instance, the TSFIA operator has no associated weight vector, while the TSFIWA operator has a weight factor. Similar is the case with TSFIG and TSFWIG operators. However, the results of Tables 10–12 clearly show that the operators proposed in the paper have better results because of their advanced nature as the MSM operators proposed in Garg et al. (2022) have certain limitations which were discussed at the beginning of the paper. Furthermore, we have also compared the proposed work with Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient measures, which was proposed by Sedgwick [Sedgwick, P. (2014) Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Bmj, 349.] in 2014, which is very valuable and dominant measures based on classical set theory. For these measures, it is not possible to evaluate the proposed types of data because the arranged information is given in the shape of T-spherical fuzzy numbers, and the existing measure was computed based on the crisp set which is the special case of the proposed theory, but in the future, we aim to derive it for T-spherical fuzzy sets to improve the worth of the proposed theory.
Figure 3 is the graphical representation of the proposed and existing operators utilizing Table 12, making it easy to understand the optimal alternative. Figure 3 graphically shows that

The following section will elaborate on the method’s superiority in dealing with situations of uncertainty by examining its properties in the context of some previous studies. As we all know, the traditional operator does not consider the interaction between MD, NMD, and AD with

7 Conclusion
In this section, we will learn about the following operators and techniques, such as
1. Based on the interaction operations for TSFVs, this research suggested several interaction MSM operators for TSFVs and generalized the MSM operator to TSFVs. After that, we talked about several of their desirable traits, like idempotency and commutativity.
2. An approach for the MADM problems was also proposed under the consideration of derived operators.
3. We further examined some particular examples of these operators and compared the presented results with those of many existing operators to justify the validity and supremacy of the stated approaches.
4. While comparing the current operators, we know that the proposed method is more extensive than several other existent methods.
The primary benefit is that they can capture the relationships between several flexible input arguments due to the parameter
