Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the Hamacher aggregation operators and Choquet integral with dual Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy information. Then, motivated by the ideal of Hamacher operation and Choquet integral, we have developed some Hamacher correlated operators for aggregating dual hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy information. The prominent characteristic of these proposed operators is studied. Then, we have utilized these two operators to develop some approaches to solve the dual hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy MADM problems. Finally, a practical example for supplier selection in supply chain management is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
