20.500.12556/DiRROS-22715 Pythagorean linguistic information-based green supplier selection using quantum-based group decision-making methodology and the MULTIMOORA approach The selection of environmentally sustainable suppliers has been a significant challenge in management decision-making (DM). Multicriteria group decision-making (MCGDM) is a ranking methodology used to select suppliers, but it is complex and influenced by the different opinions of decision-makers. Once again, extensive research on MCGDM has exposed inadequacies in the trustworthiness of experts’ judgements, which profoundly impact the ultimate ranking results. The Pythagorean linguistic number (PLN) concept has been used to address MCGDM by considering experts’ confidence levels and real-world scenarios. This study introduces an extensive technique using a quantum scenario-based Bayesian network (QSBN) and Deng entropy-based belief entropy to account for the interference of beliefs. The goal is to replicate the subjectivity of experts’ opinions during different stages of DM, including the accumulation of experts’ weights and alternative probabilities. The correlation coefficient of PLNs is introduced for determining criterion weights and employing new techniques based on entropy methods for experts’ weights. The MULTIMOORA approach consolidates the probability of alternatives in QSBN among all experts, and the interference value is computed using belief entropy, an index for quantifying the probability of uncertainty. The study provides a numerical example to illustrate the proposed methodology, pecifically focusing on selecting environmentally sustainable suppliers, and demonstrates its applicability and effectiveness Pythagorean linguistic set MULTIMOORA Quantum probability theory MCGDM Pitagorejske lingvistične množice Kvantna teorija verjetnosti napredna metoda večkriterijskega odločanja true false true Kluwer Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © The Author(s) 2025 Neznano 2025-06-18 09:46:15 2025-06-18 09:46:16 2025-10-24 03:52:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 13. 6. 2025; Soavtorji: Leo Mrsic, Antonios Kalampakas, Tofigh Allahviranloo & Sovan Samanta; str. 1-34 iss. 7, article no. 199 Vol. 58 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 2025-03-23 2025-04-11 519.816:004.8:658.7 1573-7462 10.1007/s10462-025-11205-x 239348483 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10462-025-11205-x 1 9010e599-4c07-11f0-bf0a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32942 RAZ_Mandal_Prasenjit_2025.pdf RAZ_Mandal_Prasenjit_2025.pdf 1 88637981ADBB6E936354F58F72A49031 df2bf4505bc8fac7a830bbb684814ef5d5f96dd0c58d9846f9b3ccedf9db993b a17cd741-4c08-11f0-bf0a-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32945 Rudolfovo – Znanstveno in tehnološko središče Novo mesto 0 0 0
