“…30 Many variants of HFLTSs have been put forward, such as the double hierarchy linguistic term set (LTS), 31,32 unbalanced HFLTS, 33 hesitant probabilistic fuzzy linguistic set, 34 and hesitant multiplicative LTSs. 35 HFLTSs have various applications, such as the evaluation of landfill sites, 36 medicine selection, 37 recommender system, 38 and healthcare service. 39 To handle the unique structure of HFLTSs, various decision-making methods have been proposed, such as the MULTIMOORA method, 40 aggregation operators, 28 TOPSIS method, 41 VIKOR method, 42,43 EDAS method, 44 and ELECTRE II method.…”
