All aggregation operators that are derived based on Hamacher norms are very powerful and are beneficial because of the parameter 0\u2264\u03b6\u2264+\u221e. Choquet first posited the theory of the Choquet integral (CI) in 1953, which is used for evaluating awkward and unreliable information to address real-life problems. In this manuscript, we analyze several aggregation operators based on CI, aggregation operators, the Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm, and Atanassov intuitionistic fuzzy (A-IF) information. These are called A-IF Hamacher CI averaging (A-IFHCIA), A-IF Hamacher CI ordered averaging (A-IFHCIOA), A-IF Hamacher CI geometric (A-IFHCIG), and A-IF Hamacher CI ordered geometric (A-IFHCIOG) operators; herein, we identify their most beneficial and valuable results according to their main properties. Working continuously, we developed a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) procedure for evaluating awkward and unreliable information, with the help of the TOPSIS technique for order performance by similarity to the ideal solution, and derive operators to enhance the worth and value of the present information. Finally, by comparing the pioneering information with some of the existing operators, we illustrate some examples for evaluating the real-life problems related to enterprises, wherein the owner of a company appointed four senior board members of the enterprise to decide what was the best Asian company in which to invest money, to show the supremacy and superiority of the invented approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms11120715","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,12]],"date-time":"2022-12-12T04:34:20Z","timestamp":1670819660000},"page":"715","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["TOPSIS Method Based on Hamacher Choquet-Integral Aggregation Operators for Atanassov-Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Their Applications in Decision-Making"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3871-3845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tahir","family":"Mahmood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5878-714X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeeshan","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7554-4622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samruam","family":"Baupradist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6113-3689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronnason","family":"Chinram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Computational Science, Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai 90110, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","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":"Inf.
