Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with hesitant interval-valued fuzzy information. Then, we further develop some new Einstein aggregation operators with hesitant interval-valued fuzzy information, such as the induced hesitant interval-valued fuzzy Einstein correlated averaging (I-HIVFECA) operator and induced hesitant interval-valued fuzzy Einstein correlated geometric (I-HIVFECG) operator. Then, we apply the induced hesitant interval-valued fuzzy Einstein correlated averaging (I-HIVFECA) operator and induced hesitant interval-valued fuzzy Einstein correlated geometric (I-HIVFECG) operator to deal with multiple attribute decision making under the hesitant interval-valued fuzzy environments. Finally, an illustrative example for evaluating software quality is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
