5. Conclusions
- We initiated the theories of CIFSPA, CIFSWPA, CIFSOWPA, CIFSPG, CIFSWPG, and CIFSOWPG, and their flexible laws were elaborated.
- Certain specific cases (such as averaging, Einstein, and Hamacher operators) of the explored operators were also illustrated with the help of t-norm and t-conorm , and .
- MADM processes were presented under the developed operators based on the CIFS environment to investigate the performance of the initiated works.
- Finally, the advantages, graphically shown, and sensitivity analysis of the initiated operators and numerous prevailing works were also developed to verify the efficiency of the proposed works.
5.1. Advantages of the Elaborated Works
- The invented works based on CIFSSs are more beneficial than the prevailing works elaborated under IFSs, IFSSs, and FSs.
- The invented works based on CIFSSs are more generalized than the prevailing operators that were initiated under IFSs, IFSSs, and FSs.
5.2. Advantages of the Elaborated Works
- In subsequent research, we will address how the presented works were unable to resolve information types that covered the TG, abstinence, and FG; consequently, the principle of CIFS was neglected because the explored theory had to cope only with the type of data, which only covers TG and FG.
- For this, we will be elaborate on the principle of power aggregation operators under complex Pythagorean fuzzy soft sets, complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft sets, complex picture fuzzy soft sets, complex spherical fuzzy soft sets, and complex T-spherical fuzzy soft sets.
