This model is the generalization of bipolar fuzzy sets to deal with two-sided contrasting features which can describe the information with a bipolar fuzzy number and an interval-valued bipolar fuzzy number simultaneously. In this paper, the Dombi\u2019s operations are analyzed for information aggregation of cubic bipolar fuzzy numbers (CBFNs). The Dombi\u2019s operations carry the advantage of more pliability and reliability due to the existence of their operational parameters. Owing to the pliable nature of Dombi\u2019s operators, this research work introduces new aggregation operators named as cubic bipolar fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging (CBFDWA) operator and cubic bipolar fuzzy Dombi ordered weighted averaging (CBFDOWA) operator with \u2119 -order and \u211d -order, respectively. Additionally, this paper presents some significant characteristics of suggested operators including, idempotency, boundedness and monotonicity. Moreover, a robust multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique is developed by using \u2119 -CBFDWA and \u211d -CBFDWA operators. Based on the suggested operators a practical application is demonstrated towards MCDM under uncertainty. The comparison analysis of suggested Dombi\u2019s operators with existing operators is also given to discuss the rationality, efficiency and applicability of these operators.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-210667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T13:13:47Z","timestamp":1627391627000},"page":"3373-3393","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Cubic bipolar fuzzy Dombi averaging aggregation operators with application to multi-criteria decision-making"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Riaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, University of thePunjab, New Campus, Lahore, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Anam","family":"Habib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, University of thePunjab, New Campus, Lahore, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Aslam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Sciences, King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210667_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"338","DOI":"10.1016\/S0019-9958(65)90241-X","article-title":"Fuzzy sets","volume":"8","author":"Zadeh","year":"1965","journal-title":"Information and Control"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210667_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-0255(71)80005-1","article-title":"Similarity relations and fuzzy ordering","volume":"3","author":"Zadeh","year":"1971","journal-title":"Information Sciences"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210667_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-0114(86)80034-3","article-title":"Intuitionistic fuzzy sets","volume":"20","author":"Atanassov","year":"1986","journal-title":"Fuzzy Sets andSystems"},{"key":"10.3233\/JIFS-210667_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-7908-1870-31","article-title":"Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, In: Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets","volume":"35","author":"Atanassov","year":"1999","journal-title":"Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing, 35.
