This article aims to examine the causes and consequences of climate change on the environment and then prioritize the solution for reducing its influence on the environment under the setting of the bipolar complex fuzzy set (BCFS). Climate change is illustrated by the transformation of wind, temperature, and precipitation; regardless of its natural causes, it is generally connected with human movement and ozone-depleting substances. It is an important task to determine the reasons, effects, and, especially, solutions for reducing the effects of climate change. The prioritization of the solution for reducing the influence of climate change is a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) dilemma, and for solving such a dilemma, we need a proper MADM technique. Thus, in this study, we first interpreted various aggregation operators (AOs) such as bipolar complex fuzzy (BCF) power Dombi averaging (BCFPDA); BCF power Dombi weighted averaging (BCFPDWA); BCF power Dombi ordered weighted averaging (BCFPDOWA); BCF power Dombi geometric (BCFPDG); BCF power Dombi weighted geometric (BCFPDWG); and BCF power Dombi ordered weighted geometric (BCFPDOWG) and then interpreted an MADM approach based on the invented operators. Furthermore, we studied a numerical example regarding the prioritization of solutions for the reduction of the influence of climate change on the environment and achieved the best solution, i.e., DBCFS4= ocean and sea protection. Finally, the advantages of this approach are compared with those of other approaches.

1 Introduction

Climate change depicts a transformation under normal circumstances such as precipitation and temperature in a particular region during a certain period. For instance, some centuries ago, a large part of the United States was covered by ice sheets and today, there is a hotter climate with fewer glacial masses. Worldwide climate change alludes to the typical long-haul changes over the whole planet, such as reduction in rain and the rise in temperature, that imply increased ice liquefaction in places such as Greenland, the Arctic, and Antarctica; the rise of ocean levels; the change in blossom and plant-sprouting times; and the contraction of mountains’ icy masses. Researchers have noticed atypical changes. For instance, the planet’s typical temperature has been increasing more rapidly than anticipated in recent years. Some regions face more change in the temperature than others. However, the air temperature of the world near the surface of the earth has increased by two degrees Fahrenheit in the last hundred years. The last 5 years have been the hottest in hundreds of years. Researchers are worried about this warming up. If the climate of the earth keeps heating up, the power of precipitation during tempests, such as tropical storms, will increase and dry spells will intensify. A change of a couple of degrees in the temperature of the whole planet will seriously affect the earth, plants, and animals. There are various solutions for the reduction of the effects of climate change that can help in saving the planet. Falloon et al. (2014)) investigated ensembles and vagueness in climate change influence. Im et al. (2022) discussed climate change and air pollution. Khurshid et al. (2022) studied the influence of climate change on economic development. Dong et al. (2023) used the integrated fuzzy decision technique to study digital green innovation investment project selection of photovoltaic building material enterprises.

MADM can offer the best option among the possible ones. To make the right decisions, various scholars have come up with various possible ideas. Initially, their decisions were modeled on the notion of crisp sets which were headed toward unsatisfactory outcomes and were not applicable in real-life circumstances. Due to the increased complexity of these circumstances, it is difficult for an expert or decision analyst to deal with vague or imprecise information, so experts cannot use the conventional approach to determine the best alternative. Zadeh (1965) proposed a novel model which is a fuzzy set (FS) that is a strong model to handle MADM issues. In FS, the domain element consists of a value between 0 and 1, which is called the grade of satisfaction (GS). The FS model has been used in many areas by numerous scholars (Maiers and Sherif, 1985; Adlassnig, 1986; Rasheed, 2019; Lin et al., 2021). But, in some circumstances, the FS lacks certain information or data due to deficiencies in the model. For example, the FS model cannot express the negative expressions of human beings in real-life issues. Therefore, Zhang (1994) proposed a new model which is a bipolar fuzzy set (BFS), which is a strong model to handle MADM problems that cannot be handled by the FS. In the BFS, a domain element consists of a value between 0 and 1 which is called a positive grade of satisfiability (PGS), and a value between −1 and 0 which is called a negative grade of satisfiability (NGS).

Some shortcomings of the FS model have been discussed previously. Another limitation of the FS model is the lack of a second dimension, i.e., extra fuzzy information. The FS model is unsuccessful in real-life issues where experts need additional fuzzy information or a second dimension. Ramot et al. (2002) proposed a modified model of the FS which is a complex fuzzy set (CFS) that is a great model for handling MADM issues where the second dimension is required. In CFS, an element of the domain consists of a value in a unit disk of a complex plane which is called the grade of satisfaction. Due to the development of the world and the increasing complexities in every situation, it is difficult for an expert or decision analyst to handle information containing ambiguities or inaccuracies. Therefore, experts cannot determine the best alternative with the models discussed previously in numerous real-life circumstances, since each model has its shortcomings; for example, the FS cannot model negative expressions and the second dimension, the BFS cannot model the second dimension, and the CFS cannot model negative expressions. Therefore, Mahmood and Ur Rehman (2022a) combined all these models and formed a new bipolar complex fuzzy set (BCFS) model which is perfect to handle MADM problems which could not be managed by the previous models. In BCFS, an element of the domain consists of a positive grade of satisfiability and a negative grade of satisfiability in a unit square of the complex plane.

Zhu et al. (2020) studied the influence of climate change under the setting of FS. Zamani et al. (2020) investigated climate change by using the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach. Chung and Kim (2014) constructed a fuzzy multi-criteria method to rank areas for treating wastewater assuming various climate change situations. Climate change was studied under fuzzy SWAT and TOPSIS approaches by Senent-Aparicio et al. (2017). Deveci et al. (2022) investigated climate change using the fuzzy WASPAS method. A large number of decision-making (DM) approaches investigated by various authors for BFS such as the MCDM technique discussed by Alghamdi et al. (2018), TOPSIS and ELECTRE-I approaches invented by Akram and Arshad (2020), MULTIMOORA technique investigated by Stanujkic et al. (2019), and the VIKOR mechanism established by Alsolame and Alshehri (2020). Numerous researchers have studied graphs in the setting of a BFS such as Rashmanlou et al. (2016), Samanta and Pal (2012), Singh and Kumar (2014), and Akram (2011). Bipolar fuzzy (BF) relations were investigated by Lee and Hur (2019), Yang (2020), and Dudziak and Pe (2010). Several scholars have explored aggregation operators (AOs) for BFS such as Jana et al. (2019a), Wei et al. (2018), and Riaz et al. (2022). The algebraic structures of the BFS were investigated by different authors such as Abughazalah et al. (2022) who investigated serval ideals in BCI algebras in the setting of the BFS, Yiarayong (2021) who studied bipolar fuzzy semigroups, and Senapati (2015) who invented bipolar fuzzy BG sub-algebras. Abdullah et al. (2014) gave the notion of BF soft sets (SSs).

Tamir et al. (2011) studied the notion of CFS in the Cartesian structure. The relations in the setting of CFS were explored by Zhang et al. (2010) and Khan et al. (2021). The AOs for the CFS were discussed by Bi et al. (2019), Bi et al. (2018), and Hu et al. (2019). Ur Rehman and Mahmood (2022) explored similarity measures (SMs) in the environment of the BCFS. Ur Rehman et al. (2022) established an analytical hierarchy process based on the Frank AOs in the setting of the BCFS. Mahmood and Ur Rehman (2022b) explored the MADM mechanism based on the Dombi AOs in the environment of the BCFS. Mahmood et al. (2022a) identified and classified the AOs for BCFS. The Hamacher AOs for the BCF information were diagnosed by Mahmood et al. (2021a). Mahmood et al. (2022b) studied Bonferroni mean operators relying on the BCFS. Mahmood et al. (2022c) researched the bipolar complex fuzzy SS (BCFSS).

1.2 Motivation and advantages

Dombi t-norm and t-conorm operators were first investigated by Dombi (1982). Dombi operators (DOs) have a great facility to work in the assessment of parameters and provide accurate and successful outcomes. Numerous scholars around the world used DOs in many notions (Jana et al., 2019a; Jana et al., 2019b; Khan et al., 2019; Seikh and Mandal, 2021; Jana et al., 2022). In 2001, Yager (2001) proposed the power aggregation operator (PAO) to manage and lessen the impact of important approximation information of certain favoritism decision-makers. Several scholars have used PAOs in various notions such as Jiang et al. (2018), Wei and Lu (2018), Hu et al. (2019), Liu et al. (2021), and Alcantud et al. (2022). The reality is that the BCFS is a perfect model for the management of MADM issues involving ambiguous and uncertain information, and it is the most modified version of the FS. The comparison of the BCFS with a few prevailing notions is shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 1. Comparison of BCFS with certain prevailing theories.

The combination of DOs and PAOs would finish the favoritism of a decision-maker and will make the process more fair and reliable. Until now, there has been no study on the power of Dombi AOs in the setting of the BCFS which means that the experts cannot get the advantages of the parameter of DOs and the PAOs in the environment of the BCFS and would not get a fair result. Motivated by this, in this study, we combined DOs and PAOs in a BCFS environment to obtain the advantages of DOs, PAOs, and BCFS, and we investigated BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators and the MADM approach based on these operators. In various situations in the area of environmental science, the decision experts would face the information in the model of the BCFS, and to get better and fair results, they would need the invented operators and the invented MADM approach. Thus, in addition, we studied the prioritization of solutions to reduce the effect of climate change on the environment under the setting of the BCFS. A few precious advantages of the discovered information are as follows.

1. Neglecting the imaginary part in both the positive grade of satisfaction and negative grade of satisfaction in the invented operators, the operator will decrease to the BFS model.

2. Neglecting the negative grade of satisfaction in the invented operators, the operator will decrease to the CFS model.

3. Neglecting the imaginary part in a positive grade of satisfaction and neglecting a negative grade of satisfaction in the invented operators, the operator will decrease to the FS model.

The following Table 2 shows the comparison of the derived work with certain existing operators.

The structure of this article is as follows. In Section 2, we explore some basics about climate change, BCFS, its properties, Dombi t-norm and t-conorm, and PAOs. In Section 3, we have two subsections: we develop the BCF power Dombi-averaging operators in subsection 3.1 and we develop the BCF power Dombi geometric operators in subsection 3.2. In Section 4, we propose an MADM approach in the BCF sets by using the proposed operators and discussing a numerical example. The proficiency and advantages of this study are shown in Section 5, where our approach is compared with those of some works in the literature. The conclusion is presented in Section 6.

2 Preliminaries

Climate change is a worldwide alteration of the climate over an extended period of time. This transformation can occur at both territorial and universal levels. The climate change that is currently occurring poses a great danger to life on this planet. World leaders have reached an important compromise in the Paris Agreement to begin reducing the effects of climate change. At the heart of all climate change agreements is the reduction of fluxes of ozone-depleting substances, which should reach zero quickly. Since seas and plants play an important role in maintaining the climate or environment, that is the inherent capacity of plants and seas will retain carbon dioxide, which would help reduce global warming. Substances that damage the ozone layer allow the sun to shine unrestrictedly on the earth’s surface. Normal ozone-depleting substances ensure a reasonable temperature for life on the planet, instead of artificial gases that produce exceptionally high heat expansion. They prevent its intensity from being reflected into space and disperse it throughout the world. There are several substances that damage the ozone layer. The six gases to be managed by the Paris Agreement are hydrofluorocarbons, methane, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and perfluorocarbons. The effects of climate change are as follows:

1. Global warming: Global warming is one of the main impacts of climate change. It is undeniable that the Earth’s temperature is rising rapidly due to human actions such as intensive agriculture, deforestation, over-exploitation, and mining.

2. Air pollution: The vital ozone-depleting substance is not considered an atmospheric pollutant as it does not appear to influence human wellbeing. However, there is a relationship between global warming and climate change as the atmospheric intensity of some air pollutants.

3. Water pollution: Climate change and water pollutants are firmly connected, both in streams, seas, and oceans. This pollution specifically manifests itself through changes in the progressions of different streams, temperature expansion, and the focus of pollutants in the water.

4. Land pollution: Dirt is equally affected by climate change. The land and the climate are affected by human actions; natural resources are exceptionally delicate and, most of the time, are wasted by men.

There are several solutions to reduce and manage the influence of climate change on the environment. In Section 4, we will discuss solutions to climate change.

Definition 1. The model of BCFS is propounded according to Mahmood and Ur Rehman, 2022b:

DBCFS=y,ΚDBCFSPy,ΚDBCFSNy|yY=y,ΚDBCFSRPy+iΚDBCFSIPy,ΚDBCFSRNy+iΚDBCFSINy|yY(1)

where ΚDBCFSPy is considered as PGS and ΚDBCFSNy is considered as NGS and ΚDBCFSRPy,ΚDBCFSIPy0,1, ΚDBCFSRNy,ΚDBCFSINy1,0. The bipolar complex fuzzy number (BCFN) is portrayed as DBCFS=ΚDBCFSP,ΚDBCFSN=ΚDBCFSRP+iΚDBCFSIP,ΚDBCFSRN+iΚDBCFSIN.

where DRN1,DRN20,1×0,1 and α1.

Definition 5. Consider a class of positive numbers, then, the PAO is determined as (Yager, 2001):

3 BCF power Dombi aggregation operators

Here, we have two subsections. In Section 3.1, we propound BCF power Dombi-averaging operators, and in Section 3.2, we propound BCF power Dombi geometric operators. w=w1,w2,,wn is considered as weight vector (WV) holding that wJ0,1 and J=1nwJ=1 in the whole article.

3.1 BCF power Dombi-averaging operators

By fusing Dombi and power operators in the environment of BCFNs, here, we are defining BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, and BCFPDOWA operators.

In the following, we derived the BCFPDA operator.

Definition 7. Consider a class of BCFNs, DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n, and then, the BCFPDA operator is determined as

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn=nJ=11+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJDBCFSJ(7)

where ΤDBCFSJ=l=1lJnSupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl and SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl signify the support among DBCFSJ and DBCFSl with the following properties.

1. SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl0,1

2. SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl=SupDBCFSl,DBCFSJ

3. SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSlSupDBCFSr,DBCFSs if dDBCFSJ,DBCFSJ<dDBCFSr,DBCFSs, where d is any distance measure among BCF sets.

Theorem 1. After using the BCFPDA operator on the class of BCFNs: DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n, we achieve an aggregated value in the form of BCFN

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn=111+J=1n1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJΚDBCFSJRP1ΚDBCFSJRPα1α+i111+J=1n1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJΚDBCFSJIP1ΚDBCFSJIPα1α,11+J=1n1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJ1+ΚDBCFSJRNΚDBCFSJRNα1α+i11+J=1n1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJ1+ΚDBCFSJINΚDBCFSJINα1α(8)

Proof. First, ɧJ=1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJ was substituted in Eq. 8, then Eq. 8 became

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn=111+J=1nɧJΚDBCFSJRP1ΚDBCFSJRPα1α+i111+J=1nɧJΚDBCFSJIP1ΚDBCFSJIPα1α,11+J=1nɧJ1+ΚDBCFSJRNΚDBCFSJRNα1α+i11+J=1nɧJ1+ΚDBCFSJINΚDBCFSJINα1α(9)

Next, we must portray that Eq. 9 is held for n=2

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2=ɧ1DBCFS1ɧ2DBCFS2,

and we have

ɧ1DBCFS1=111+ɧ1ΚDBCFS1RP1ΚDBCFS1RPα1α+i111+ɧ1ΚDBCFS1IP1ΚDBCFS1IPα1α,11+ɧ11+ΚDBCFS1RNΚDBCFS1RNα1α+i11+ɧ11+ΚDBCFS1INΚDBCFS1INα1α,

then, by using part 1 of Definition 6,

ɧ1DBCFS1ɧ2DBCFS2=111+ɧ1ΚDBCFS1RP1ΚDBCFS1RPα1α+i111+ɧ1ΚDBCFS1IP1ΚDBCFS1IPα1α,11+ɧ11+ΚDBCFS1RNΚDBCFS1RNα1α+i11+ɧ11+ΚDBCFS1INΚDBCFS1INα1α111+ɧ2ΚDBCFS2RP1ΚDBCFS2RPα1α+i111+ɧ2ΚDBCFS2IP1ΚDBCFS2IPα1α,11+ɧ21+ΚDBCFS2RNΚDBCFS2RNα1α+i11+ɧ21+ΚDBCFS2INΚDBCFS2INα1α

Eq. 10 implies that Eq. 9 is valid for n=2. Furthermore, we assume that Eq. 9 is valid for n=Q, i.e.,

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSQ=111+J=1QɧJΚDBCFSJRP1ΚDBCFSJRPα1α+i111+J=1QɧJΚDBCFSJIP1ΚDBCFSJIPα1α,11+J=1QɧJ1+ΚDBCFSJRNΚDBCFSJRNα1α+i11+J=1QɧJ1+ΚDBCFSJINΚDBCFSJINα1α.

Next, we assume n=Q+1. Then by part 1 of definition 6, we have

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSQ,DBCFSQ+1=111+J=1QɧJΚDBCFSJRP1ΚDBCFSJRPα1α+i111+J=1QɧJΚDBCFSJIP1ΚDBCFSJIPα1α,11+J=1QɧJ1+ΚDBCFSJRNΚDBCFSJRNα1α+i11+J=1QɧJ1+ΚDBCFSJINΚDBCFSJINα1α111+ɧQ+1ΚDBCFSQ+1RP1ΚDBCFSQ+1RPα1α+i111+ɧ2ΚDBCFSQ+1IP1ΚDBCFSQ+1IPα1α,11+ɧ21+ΚDBCFSQ+1RNΚDBCFSQ+1RNα1α+i11+ɧ21+ΚDBCFSQ+1INΚDBCFSQ+1INα1α

Eq. 9 is valid for n=Q+1. This completes the proof.Following are the properties which the BCFPDA operator holds.Consider two classes of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN and DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN; J=1,2,,n. Then, BCFPDA operators hold the following properties.

1. Idempotency: When all DBCFSJ are the same, i.e., DBCFSJ=DBCFS, then

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn=DBCFS.

2. Monotonicity: If DBCFSJDBCFSJJ, then

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSnBCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn.

3. Boundedness: Let DBCFS=minJΚDBCFSJRP+iminJΚDBCFSJIP,maxJΚDBCFSJRN+imaxJΚDBCFSJIN and DBCFS+=maxJΚDBCFSJRP+imaxJΚDBCFSJIP,minJΚDBCFSJRN+iminJΚDBCFSJIN. Then,

DBCFSBCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSnDBCFS+.

We derived the BCFPDWA operator as follows.

Definition 8. Consider a class of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n, then the BCFPDWA operator is determined as

3.2 BCF power Dombi geometric operators

By fusing the Dombi geometric and power operators in the environment of BCFNs, here, we are defining BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators.

We derived the BCFPDG operator as follows.

Definition 10. Consider a class of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n, then the BCFPDG operator is determined as

BCFPDGDBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn=nJ=1DBCFSJ1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJ,(15)

where ΤDBCFSJ=l=1lJnSupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl and SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl signify the support among DBCFSJ and DBCFSl with the following properties.

1. SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl0,1

2. SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl=SupDBCFSl,DBCFSJ

3. SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSlSupDBCFSr,DBCFSs if dDBCFSJ,DBCFSJ<dDBCFSr,DBCFSs, where d is any distance measure among BCF sets.

Theorem 4. After using the BCFPDG operator on the class of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n,we achieve an aggregated value in the form of BCFN

Proof. First, ɧJ=1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJ is substituted in Eq. 16, and then Eq. 16 becomes

Next, we must portray that Eq. 17 is held for n=2

BCFPDADBCFS1,DBCFS2=DBCFS1ɧ1DBCFS1ɧ1,

and by using part 2 of Definition 6, we have:

Equation 18 implies that Eq. 17 is valid for n=2. Furthermore, we assume that Eq. 17 is valid for n=Q, i.e.,

Eq. 17 is valid for n=Q+1. This completes the proof.The properties which the BCFPDG operator holds are as follows.Consider two classes of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN and DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN; J=1,2,,n. Then, BCFPDG operators hold the following properties.

We derived the following BCFPDWG operator.

Definition 11. Consider a class of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n, then the BCFPDWG operator is determined as:

We introduce the following BCFPDOWG operator.

Definition 12. Consider a class of BCFNs DBCFSJ=ΚDBCFSJP,ΚDBCFSJN=ΚDBCFSJRP+iΚDBCFSJIP,ΚDBCFSJRN+iΚDBCFSJIN,J=1,2,,n, then the BCFPDOWG operator is determined as:

4 Application

Climate change is detrimental to the environment and the earth’s health. In the previous sections, we have briefly discussed climate change, its effects, and its causes. Now, we consider ways of preventing climate change. There are some solutions to climate change listed as follows:

1. Renewable energies: To reduce climate change, we need to adopt renewable and clean energies such as geothermal, solar, biomass, and wind.

2. Sustainable transportation: For the prevention of climate change, we have to align transportation techniques with ecological needs, and we have to decrease their carbon footprint. It is vital to re-evaluate our vehicle strategies from the planning phase toward eco-friendly transportation.

3. Air pollution prevention: There are numerous strategies to reduce, control, and prevent air pollution, namely, by reducing the use of non-renewable energy sources and restricting industrial and waste outflows. By preventing air pollution, climate change would be reduced.

4. Squander management and reusing: The best way to reduce waste is to fit creative techniques into our utilization designs. The reuse system must also be considered in our usage propensities.

5. Ocean and sea protection: Seas and oceans are the biggest reservoirs of ozone-depleting substances and are an extraordinary emotional support network for life on earth. Presently, it is critical to restrict overfishing and unreasonable constructions in beachfront regions; the utilization of harmless ecosystem elements is advisable.

6. Circular economy: To prevent climate change, we need to use the three “Rs” of the circular economy, i.e., Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, to collectively reduce our waste and avoid the superfluous creation of new things.

The search for the best solution to climate change is an MADM issue, and for this, we provide an MADM approach.

4.1 MADM method

Let a class of n alternatives DBCFS1,DBCFS2,,DBCFSn and m attributes ZAT1,ZAT2,..,ZATm with connected WV w=w1,w2,,wm, satisfying 0wJ1J and J=1mwJ=1. Then, the structure of the MADM method is explored as follows:

Step 1The information or data presented by the expert in the structure of BCFN was gathered, i.e., DBCFS=ΚDBCFSP,ΚDBCFSN=ΚDBCFSRP+iΚDBCFSIP,ΚDBCFSRN+iΚDBCFSIN, where ΚDBCFSRP,ΚDBCFSIP0,1, ΚDBCFSRN,ΚDBCFSIN1,0, and a decision matrix was built.

Step 2The matrix was normalized to achieve a normalized matrix if the data are cost type by using the following formula

NBCFS=ΚDBCFSP,ΚDBCFSNforbenefitsortdataΚDBCFSP,ΚDBCFSNcforcostsortdata(23)

where ΚDBCFSP,ΚDBCFSNc=ΚDBCFSRP+iΚDBCFSIP,ΚDBCFSRN+iΚDBCFSINc=1ΚDBCFSRP+i1ΚDBCFSIP,1ΚDBCFSRN+i1ΚDBCFSIN. There is no such requirement if the data are benefit type.

Step 3The decision matrix achieved was aggregated after step 2 with the assistance of one of the propounded BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators.

Step 4To be able to order the aggregated values of the previous step, the score values were determined with the assistance of Eq. 2. If Eq. 2 showed equal values for any two aggregated values, then one can determine the accuracy values by Eq. 3.

Step 5. Relying on this obtained order, the ranking can be determined.Now, we consider a numerical example regarding the prioritization of solutions to reduce the influence of climate change on the environment.

4.2 Numerical example

Let us consider four solutions to climate change, i.e., DBCFS1=Renewableenergy, DBCFS2=Airpollutionprevention, DBCFS3=Circulareconomy, and DBCFS4=OceanandSeaprotection, and four attributes related to these solutions, i.e., ZAT1=Reducingtemperature, ZAT2=Wasteprevention, ZAT3=Regulatetheclimate, and ZAT4=Reducepollutants. The weight vector considered by the expert linked with attributes is (0.25, 0.25, 0.3, 0.2).

Step 1The data presented by the expert in the model of BCFS are illustrated in Table 3.

TABLE 3
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 3. Data explored by the expert.

Step 2No requirement for normalization.

Step 3The decision matrix obtained after step 2 was aggregated with the assistance of the proposed BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators, and the outcomes are displayed in Table 4. Furthermore, we used the SM defined by Mahmood and Rehman (Rashmanlou et al., 2016) for support.In Table 4, we present the aggregated outcomes of each alternative. Using BCFPDA, we found the aggregated outcomes as DBCFS1=0.141+i0.157,0.091i0.205, DBCFS2=0.253+i0.088,0.247i0.081, DBCFS3=0.286+i0.202,0.458i0.335, and DBCFS4=0.649+i0.513,0.119i0.261. Using BCFPDWA, we found the aggregated outcomes as DBCFS1=0.084+i0.086,0.328i0.178, DBCFS2=0.149+i0.052,0.373i0.136, DBCFS3=0.183+i0.111,0.601i0.432, and DBCFS4=0.507+i0.036,0.204i0.369. Using BCFPDWA, we found the aggregated outcomes as DBCFS1=0.085+i0.092,0.306i0.149, DBCFS2=0.16+i0.055,0.353i0.136, DBCFS3=0.187+i0.134,0.624i0.468, and DBCFS4=0.488+i0.375,0.192i0.365. Similarly, after using BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators, the aggregated outcomes are investigated in Table 4.

TABLE 4
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 4. Aggregated outcomes.

Step 4We achieved the order among the aggregated outcomes by retrieving the score values with the help of Eq. 2, as shown in Table 5.In Table 5, we present the score value of each alternative. By using BCFPDA and Eq. 2, we found the score value of DBCFS1=0.501, DBCFS2=0.503, DBCFS3=0.424, and DBCFS4=0.696. Using BCFPDWA and Eq. 2, we found the score value of DBCFS1=0.416, DBCFS2=0.423, DBCFS3=0.315, and DBCFS4=0.573. Using BCFPDOWA and Eq. 2, we found the score values of DBCFS1=0.431, DBCFS2=0.432, DBCFS3=0.307, and DBCFS4=0.576. Similarly after using BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators and Eq. 2, we found the rest of the score values presented in Table 5.

TABLE 5
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 5. Score values of the aggregated outcomes.

Step 5. Relying on the score values, the ranking is presented in Table 6.From Table 6, we achieved the ranking order by using all the invented operators and keeping the parameter α=3; we have DBCFS4>DBCFS2>DBCFS1>DBCFS3 as a ranking order. This means that DBCFS4=OceanandSeaprotection is the best solution to reduce the influence of climate change on the environment.

TABLE 6. Ranking order relies on the score values.

4.3 Advantages and limitations

The investigated MADM approach has the advantage of tackling the information in the environment of BCFS, BFS, CFS, and FS. The investigated MADM technique used one of the invented operators in the setting of BCFS and can be reduced to the settings of BFS, CFS, and FS. Thus, the invented MADM approach can also transform into the BFS, CFS, and FS. The invented MADM approach is unable to handle the information in the setting of complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets, bipolar complex intuitionistic fuzzy set, and their generalizations. Furthermore, from the previously discussed numerical example, we noticed that the data of this example are artificial but it is a practical situation from real life. This shows that the interpreted operators and MADM technique would be useful to handle real-life dilemmas in various fields such as computer science and environmental science.

4.4 Sensitivity analysis of α

Here, we observed the effect of the parameter α on the result of the DM dilemma by taking various values of α. For various arguments of α such as 1,3,5,7,10, and 15, the ranking order and score values determined by each invented operator are described in Tables 712.

TABLE 7
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 7. Score values and ranking order for various values of α using the BCFPDA operator.

TABLE 8
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 8. Score values and ranking order for various values of α using the BCFPDWA operator.

TABLE 11. Score values and ranking order for various values of α using the BCFPDWA operator.

TABLE 12
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 12. Score values and ranking order for various values of α using the BCFPDOWA operator.

By using the BCFPDA operator and by putting α=1,3, and 5, the ranking order is DBCFS4>DBCFS2>DBCFS1>DBCFS3 and by putting the α=7,10, and 15, the ranking order is DBCFS4>DBCFS3>DBCFS2>DBCFS1, as described in Table 7. By using BCFPDWA and BCFDOWA operators and by putting α=1,3, and 7, the ranking order becomes DBCFS4>DBCFS2>DBCFS1>DBCFS3. By putting the α=5, the ranking order becomes DBCFS4>DBCFS1>DBCFS2>DBCFS3, and by putting the α=10 and 15, the ranking order becomes DBCFS4>DBCFS3>DBCFS2>DBCFS1 as described in Tables 8,9. By using BCFPDG and BCFPDWG operators for all given values of α, we achieved the same ranking, which is DBCFS4>DBCFS1>DBCFS2>DBCFS3, interpreted in Tables 10,11. By using the BCFPDOWG operator and by putting α=1, the ranking order is DBCFS4>DBCFS1>DBCFS2>DBCFS3 and by putting the α=3,5,7,10, and 15, the ranking order becomes DBCFS4>DBCFS2>DBCFS1>DBCFS3 investigated in Table 12. This shows that DBCFS4 is the most common and superb alternative. Furthermore, in the invented DM approach based on the BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators, by changing the values of α, the related ranking order can be changed. Moreover, we noted that by increasing the values of α, the score values based on the aggregated values obtained using BCFPDA, BCFPDWA and BCFPDOWA increased, while by increasing the values of α, the score values based on the aggregated values obtained using BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG decreased.

5 Comparison

The research we developed in this article has more advantages and is more effective than the solutions proposed in other articles. To prove this, we apply the data in Table 3 which contains the information on the structure of BCFNs from the works of Jana et al. (2022), Jana et al. (2019a), Mahmood and Ur Rehman. (2022b), and our own. The results are shown in Table 13, and the ranking is in Table 14.

TABLE 13

TABLE 13. Score values of the data given in Table 3 were achieved by using both our research and the existing results.

TABLE 14
www.frontiersin.org

TABLE 14. Ranking order relies on the score values achieved in Table 13.

The works initiated by Jana et al. (2022), Jana et al. (2019a), and Mahmood and Ur Rehman. (2022a) crashed while handling the information from Table 1 as we can see in Table 13 and Table 14. The reason for the crash of Jana et al. (2022) is not being able to account for the negative aspects and the second dimension, i.e., unreal parts as Jana et al. (2022) initiated power Dombi AOs for Pythagorean FS. Furthermore, the reason for the crash of Jana et al. (2019a) is not able to account for the second dimension, i.e., unreal parts, and it is not able to determine ΤDBCFSJ=l=1lJnSupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl, where SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl signifies the support for DBCFSJ and DBCFSl as in Jana et al. (2019a) who initiated DAOs for BFS. The DAOs developed by Mahmood and Ur Rehman. (2022b) are in the setting of BCFS and can handle the BCFNs, but these operators do not have the ability to determine ΤDBCFSJ=l=1lJnSupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl, where SupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl signifies the support for DBCFSJ and DBCFSl. Thus, the work described by Mahmood and Ur Rehman. (2022a) crashes when one has to find ΤDBCFSJ=l=1lJnSupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl. On the contrary, our research can handle negative aspects and unreal parts and can determine ΤDBCFSJ=l=1lJnSupDBCFSJ,DBCFSl. If we take 1+ΤDBCFSJJ=1n1+ΤDBCFSJ=wJ, then the initiated PDAOs are transformed into DAOs for BCFS. Furthermore, our work modifies FS, BFS, and CFS; we can also easily reduce the proposed operators and the MADM method to FS, BFS, and CFS.

From this discussion, it is clear that for getting fair and better results by solving complicated and awkward data in the setting of BCFS, the invented operators and the method are the best and only tools. None of the existing operators can handle such information. Moreover, the existing parameter α makes them more flexible than existing operators. Various researchers such as Jana et al. (2022), Jana et al. (2019a), and Jiang et al. (2018) in the literature introduced the power Dombi operators but they could not solve the data in the setting of BCFS.

6 Conclusion

This article contains the combination of the three most significant notions which are Dombi t-norm and t-conorm, PA operator, and BCF set. As is well known, BCF is a good model for the management of MADM problems involving ambiguous and uncertain information. Therefore, this article contains power Dombi AOs, i.e., BCFPDA, BCFPDWA, BCFPDOWA, BCFPDG, BCFPDWG, and BCFPDOWG operators in the environment of BCFS. In addition, this paper contains a discussion of climate change and its influence on the environment. Regardless of whether climate change may likewise have natural causes, it is generally related to human movement and ozone-depleting substances. Weather conditions and patterns are changing as a result of climate change. Due to several variables, the climate is changing quickly. It goes without saying that the temperature of the entire planet is rising. We need to take drastic steps to stop climate change since it is affecting the resources and life on our planet. If effective tactics are used to tackle climate change, we can stop it. Here are some strategies for reducing climate challenges: 1) Establish laws and agreements about climate change, 2) spread knowledge about climate change, 3) hold climate change capacity-building initiatives, 4) put clean energy initiatives into action, 5) outlaw tree-cutting and deforestation, 6) steer clear of using chemical fertilizers 7), preserve flora and fauna, 8) increase the number of trees in the neighborhood and nearby places, 9) lower your energy use, 10) keep areas spotless, 11) minimize the wastage of natural resources such as water, 12) purchase appliances and goods that are energy-efficient, and 13) be mindful of the environment and safeguard its resources. To determine the best solution to reducing the effect of climate change on the environment, this study contains a MADM approach in the setting of BCFS using the investigated operators. In addition, we conducted a numerical example on the prioritization of solutions to reduce the influence of climate change on the environment and obtain the best solution which is DBCFS4. Finally, the article contains the superiority and advantages of this study by comparing our study with other investigations. We conclude that in our study, the interpretive power of Dombi AOs and MADM in the setting of BCFS is superior to the existing results and more generalized than certain existing results that can be treated as special cases of BCFS.

In the future, we wish to continue this research in other realms such as health effects of climate change (Costello et al., 2009), complex fuzzy semi-groups (Rehman et al., 2023), complex fuzzy sub-groups (Yang et al., 2022), complex bipolar intuitionistic FS (Jan et al., 2022a), complex bipolar picture FS (Jan et al., 2022b), complex hesitant FS (Mahmood et al., 2021b), and complex T-spherical FS (Zedam et al., 2022).
