Generalized orthopair fuzzy matrices

A q-rung orthopair fuzzy matrix (q-ROFM), an extension of the Pythagorean fuzzy matrix (PFM) and intuitionistic fuzzy matrix (IFM), is very helpful in representing vague information that occurs in real-world circumstances. In this paper we define some algebraic operations, such as max-min, min-max, complement, algebraic sum, algebraic product, scalar multiplication ( n A ) , and exponentiation ( A n ) . We also investigate the algebraic properties of these operations. Furthermore, we define two operators, namely the necessity and possibility to convert q-ROFMs into an ordinary fuzzy matrix, and discuss some of their basic algebraic properties. Finally, we define a new operation(@) on q-ROFMs and discuss distributive laws in the case where the operations of ⊕ q , ⊗ q , ∧ q and ∨ q are combined each other.
