Abstract: This paper deals with uncertainty, asymmetric information, and risk modelling in a complex
power system. The uncertainty is managed by using probability and decision theory methods.
Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique is a very effective and well-known tool to
investigate fuzzy information more effectively. However, the selection of houses cannot be carried
out by utilizing symmetry information, because enterprises does not have complete information, so
asymmetric information should be used when selecting enterprises. Hamy mean (HM) operator is a
feasible tool to handle strategic decision-making problems because it can capture the order between
the finite input terms. Additionally, the complex interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy (CIVq-
ROF) setting is a broadly flexible and massively dominant technique to operate problematic and
awkward data in actual life problems. The major contribution of this analysis is how to aggregate the
collection of alternatives into a singleton set, for this we analyzed the technique of CIVq-ROF Hamy
mean (CIVq-ROFHM) operator and CIVq-ROF weighted Hamy mean (Cq-ROFWHM) operator
and some well-known results are deliberated. Keeping the advantages of the parameters in HM
operators, we discussed the specific cases of the invented operators. To investigate the decision-
making problems based on CIVq-ROF information, we suggested the following multi-attribute
decision-making (MADM) technique to determine the beneficial term from the finite group of
alternatives with the help of evaluating several examples. This manuscript showed how to make
decisions when there is asymmetric information about enterprises. Finally, based on the evaluating
examples, we try to discover the sensitive analysis and supremacy of the invented operators to find
the flexibility and dominancy of the diagnosed approaches.

1. Introduction
One of the hardest problems is given in the form of ambiguity and inconsistency, which
is involved in every field of life and affects the resultant values during the decision-making
process. To reduce the affected ratio of data from ambiguity, Atanassov [1] initiated the tool
of the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) by extending the tool of fuzzy set, which was familiarized
by Zadeh [2]. As a theory, the experts must consider fuzzy variables to show their reasons.
Various attempts have been made by the distinct intellectuals in managing the data values
based on distinct aggregation operators [3–5]. On the other hand, the fundamental theory
of interval-valued IFS (IVIFS) was exposed by Atanassov [6]. IVIFS indicates two terms
in the shape of interval values whose sum of upper terms lies in [0, 1]. Among all these
diverse ideas, one is to determine the beneficial optimal, several well-known implemen-
tations are discussed based on IFS and IVIFS [7–10]. After that, Garg [11] reflected the
theory of interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set (IVPFS) by adding the new tool, called
