Minor-Eigenvalue Spectral Analysis in Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Sets for Multicriteria Decision Making

Abstract


Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) under uncertain data requires a framework capable of capturing ambiguity and non-linear interactions among criteria. This study develops an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Set (IFSS)-based MCDM model using spectral analysis of aggregation matrices constructed with the Einstein operator. Unlike approaches that rely mainly on global eigenvalues, the proposed method utilizes dominant eigenvalues of principal minors to capture local structural variations among alternatives. The method is validated using subdistrict-level economic facility data from Lamongan Regency. The results produce spectral scores ranging from 0.0683 to 2.0000, with Bluluk obtaining the lowest score and Lamongan obtaining the highest score. Several alternatives with comparable global structural characteristics also exhibit distinct minor-eigenvalue responses, indicating that the proposed approach can reveal local structural variations that may not be reflected in global spectral analysis. These findings suggest that minor-eigenvalue-based spectral analysis provides an alternative local perspective for distinguishing alternatives within the IFSS framework. The proposed framework contributes theoretically to IFSS-based spectral modeling and practically supports decision-makers in prioritizing subdistrict development based on local structural characteristics.
