Abstract This study presents Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set (LDHHS) for Analysing Medical Diagnose. In LDHHS, linguistic terms are combined with Dual Hesitant logic to handle uncertainty and vagueness in Decision-Making. The Hypersoft Set extend traditional soft sets by handling multi-attributes and interdependent parameters in Decision-Making. In the context of LDHHS can be used to categorize and assess different aspects of Aggregation and using Decision-Making in Medical Diagnose. In this study the development of this framework, its application and its potential impact using a Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) case study to illustrate its effectiveness. Keywords: Linguistic set, Dual Hesitant set, soft set, hypersoft set and multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM). 1.Introduction Language, with its inherent ambiguity and subjectivity, often complicates medical diagnosis and treatment by introducing uncertainty and vagueness. Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Sets (LDHHS) address these challenges by effectively managing linguistic uncertainty and modeling the complexities of medical data. By assigning Dual Hesitant values to descriptive terms like "minor" or "critical" for symptoms and "dissatisfied" or "very satisfied" for treatment effectiveness, LDHHS provides a precise framework for decisionmaking. This innovative approach has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment strategies and improve healthcare outcomes, offering significant benefits for medical practitioners. Motivation and Research Gap: In this study, medical diagnosis systems have increasingly required decision-making frameworks capable of processing vague linguistic information and multidimensional uncertainty. Traditional fuzzy and soft set-based models struggle to fully manage the nested and hierarchical nature of medical attributes such as symptom severity, disease progression, and treatment effectiveness. This creates a pressing need for an advanced model that can simultaneously incorporate • linguistic subjectivity of medical descriptions, Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 98, 2026 2 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ B. Sathiyapriya and Dr. V. Pankajam, Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set and their Application with Decision Making in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment • membership and non-membership in diagnostic evaluation, • multi-level and multi-attribute clinical data, • integration of decision-makers preferences. A standardized framework for handling linguistic variables with further sub-attributes under Dual Hesitant environments. Aggregate operators, distance and similarity measures that support linguistic hypersoft information. Application of such a framework to medical diagnosis, where ambiguity and complexity are dominant. Thus, no comprehensive decisionmaking model currently exists that integrates linguistic uncertainty, attribute and Dual Hesitant non-membership simultaneously. Research Questions 1. How can aggregation, distance, and similarity measures be constructed underthe LDHHS environment to support multi-criteria decision-making? 2. Does the proposed LDHHS based MCDM model provide more reliable and consistent diagnostic outcomes compared with existing approaches? Novelty and Contributions: This study presents a novel decision-making framework based on Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Sets (LDHHS) to address the persistent issues of linguistic ambiguity and uncertainty in medical diagnosis and treatment planning. The primary contribution lies in the ability of the proposed LDHHS model to incorporate multidimensional medical factors while simultaneously capturing the degrees of membership and nonmembership associated with linguistically expressed symptoms and treatment effectiveness. In this study also contributes a practical application by demonstrating the effectiveness of NLDHHS in a real-world medical decision-making scenario, providing new insights for healthcare practitioners and policymakers.

For example, if p = 1 then, w = {w1, w2, w3} = {dissatisfied, neutral, satisfied} For Linguistic set, which is under consideration, the relationship to its elements wn and the subscript n will be strictly increasing. To define the continuity this set is extended to w = {wω: ω∈ Ꞧ} where ω is also strictly increasing. Definition 2.1 Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Set Let Ṷ be a fixed set, then a Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Set (DHFS) D  on Ṷ is described as D  = {< e, α(e), β(e) >| e ∈ Ṷ}, in which α(e) and β(e) are two sets of some values in [0, 1], denoting the possible membership degrees and non-membership degrees of the element e ∈ Ṷ to the set D  respectively, with the conditions 0 ≤ γ, η ≤ 1, 0 ≤ γ+ + η+≤ 1, Where γ ∈ α(e), η ∈ β(e), γ+∈ α+(e) = ⋃max{γ} γ∈α and η+∈ β+(e) = ⋃max{η} η∈β for all e ∈ Ṷ. For convenience, the pair D (e) = (α(e), β(e)) is called a dual hesitant fuzzy element denoted by D  = (α, β), with the conditions: γ ∈ α, η ∈ β, γ+∈ α+ = ⋃max{γ} γ∈α and η+∈ β+ = ⋃max{η} η∈β , 0 ≤ γ, η ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ γ+ + η+≤ 1. Definition 2.2 Soft Set Let Ṷ be a universe set and let H = {h1, h2, h3, . . . . hn} be a finite set of Parameters or Attributes. Let Ṕ (Ṷ) denote the collection of all subsets of Ṷ. For any E ⸦ H, a pair (D, H) is called soft Set over Ṷ, where the mapping D is given by D: H → Ṕ (Ṷ). Definition 2.4 Hypersoft Set Let Ṷ be a universe of discourse, Ṕ (Ṷ) be a power set of Ṷ, Let H = {H1,H2,H3, ....Hn} for n ≥ 1 be n distinct attributes whose corresponding attributes values are respectively the sets a1,a2,a3,....an with ap ∩ aq = ∅, for p ≠ q and p, q ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . . n}. Then the pair (D, I) where I = {a1×a2× a3× ....×an: n is finite and real valued} is known as Hypersoft set over Ṷ with mapping D: a1 ×a2× a3× ....×an = I → Ṕ (Ṷ). Definition 2.5 Linguistic Hypersoft Set Let λ = (λ1,λ2,λ3,....λn) for n ≥1 be n distinct attributes, whose corresponding attribute values are respectively the sets u1,u2,u3,....un with up ∩ uq = ∅, where p ≠ q for each n ≥ 1 and p, q ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . . n}.

Then the linguistic hypersoft set will be, θ({β(Ṷ)(t)}): β ⊆ λ & t ∈ wω = {w1, w2, w3, . . . wn} where n = 2p + 1: p ≥ 1 and m ∈ Ɽ+} 3. Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set (LDHHS) In this section, we propose LDHHS with its set structure properties. Definition 3.1: Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set (LDHHS) Let Ṷ be a universe of discourse Ꝑ (Ṷ) be a power set of Ṷ. Take λ = (λ1,λ2,λ3,....λn) for n ≥1. where λ1,λ2,λ3,....λn are attributes, whose corresponding sub-attribute values are respectively the sets u1,u2,u3,....un with up ∩ uq = ∅, where p ≠ q for each n ≥ 1 and p, q ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . . n}. Let ∝ = {u1×u2× u3× ....×un: where n is finite and real valued} and θ : ∝ = (u1×u2× u3× ....×un) → Ꝑ (Ṷ). Now the pair (θ,∝) is known as the Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set (LDHHS) can be defined as θ(λ (w)) = {β(λ (γ+, η+)) | β ⊆ λ & γ+, η+ ∈ w = {w1, w2, w3, . . . wn}} Where w is the set of Linguistic Parameters and γ+, η+ represent the Dual Hesitant maximum membership and maximum non-membership values in Linguistic Parameters with the condition 0 ≤ γ, η ≤ 1, 0 ≤ γ+ + η+≤ 1. Numerical Example 3.1.1 Let Ṷ = {s1,s2,s3} be a universe of discourse, consisting of a set of three woods, describes the strength of wood θ(λ(w)) = {s1,s2}. consider the attributes be λ1 = Softwoods, λ2 = Hardwoods and their corresponding sub-attributes values are Softwoods = u1 = {Cedar, Pine} Hardwoods = u2 = {Teak, Beech} and set θ(λ (w)) = {s1, s2} ⊂ U. Then the function θ:∝ = u1 ×u2 → Ṕ (Ṷ) and we have five Linguistic Parameters w = {w1, w2, w3, w4, w5} = {very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neutral, satisfied, very satisfied}, each linguistic Parameter corresponds a dual Hesitant value: w1 = 0.01 for very dissatisfied, w2 = 0.05 for dissatisfied, w3 = 0.25 for neutral, w4 = 0.35 for satisfied and w5 = 0.52 for very satisfied. Define the strength of woods in Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set (LDHHS) (θ,∝) = θ(λ (w)) = {β(λ (γ+, η+)) | β ⊆ λ & γ+, η+ ∈ w = {w1, w2, w3, . . . wn}} θ({Cedar, Beech}) = {s1, s2} = {(s1((dissatisfied, neutral), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied))), (s2 (neutral, satisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied))} = G Similarly, Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 98, 2026 6 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ B. Sathiyapriya and Dr. V. Pankajam, Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set and their Application with Decision Making in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment θ1({Pine, Teak}) = {s1, s2} = {(s1((neutral, satisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied))), (s2(dissatisfied, neutral), (very dissatisfied, neutral))} = G1 θ2({Cedar, Teak}) = {s2, s3} = {(s2((very dissatisfied, neutral), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied)), s3((neutral, satisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied))} = G2. Definition 3.2: Let (θ1,∝1)= G1 be a LDHHS, then the subset Gb can be defined as. θ(λ (w)) = {β(λ (γ+, η+)) | β ⊆ λ & γ+, η+ ∈ w = {w1, w2, w3, . . . wn}} 1. Gb ⸦ G1 2. ∀ w∈ Gb, θ2(w) ⸦ θ1(w). This holds only when linguistic variables wω satisfy the property i.e., each wω of (θb,∝b)≤ wω of (θ1,∝1). Where wω represents Linguistic variables associated with Dual Hesitant evaluation. Example 3.2.1 Recall Example 3.1.1. The function θ1: ∝b = u1 ×u2 → Ṕ (Ṷ) and assume the hypersoft set, θ1({Pine, Teak}) = {(s1(neutral, satisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied), (s2 (dissatisfied, neutral), (very dissatisfied, neutral)} = Gb. Where ∝b ⸦ ∝ and Gb ⸦ G1. Where Gb is a subset of the original set G1. Linguistic variables are associated with Dual Hesitant evaluation (maximum of membership and non-membership). Definition 3.3 Empty Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set (ELDHHS) can be defined as. θ1: ∝E = u1× u2×.....×un → Ṕ(Ṷ) Such that each up(p≤ n) is empty. θ1({GE(Ṷ)}) 1. (θ1,∝E)(∅) = GE if ∀θ1(w) = ∅: ∀ w ∈ ∝E. Example 3.3.1 Recall Example 3.1.1. The function θ1: ∝E = u1× u2 → Ṕ(Ṷ), where u1 and u2 are all empty sets (u1 = u2 = ∅) and assume the Hypersoft set, θ1(∅)= ∅ = HE, where ∝E ⸦ ∝. Definition 3.4 The AND operation on two (θ1,∝1) = G1 and (θ2,∝2) = G2 Linguistic Dual Hesitant hypersoft set (LDHHS) can be defined by 1. G1˄ G2 = (θ1˄2,∝1˄2) = G1˄2 2. (wp, wq) = wω = G1˅2, where wp∈ G1 and wq∈ G2 with p≠q 3. θ1∪2(wp, wq) = θ1(wp) ∪ θ2 (wq).

Sathiyapriya and Dr. V. Pankajam, Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set and their Application with Decision Making in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment The OR operation on two (θ1,∝1) = G1 and (θ2,∝2) = G2 Linguistic Dual Hesitant hypersoft set (LDHHS) can be defined by 1. G1˅ G2 = (θ1˅2,∝1˅2) = G1˅2 2. (wp, wq) = wω= G1˅2, where wp∈ G1 and wq∈ G2 with p≠q 3. θ1∩2(wp, wq) = θ1(wp) ∩ θ2 (wq) Definition 3.6 The NOT operation on (θ, ∝) Linguistic Dual Hesitant hypersoft set (LDHHS) can be defined by. 1. ~ G = ~(θ, ∝) = ~u1× ~u2× ....×~un 2. ~ G = ~Πwp : p = 1,2,3,…….n Definition 3.7 The Complement on (θ, ∝) = G Linguistic Dual Hesitant hypersoft set (LDHHS) can be defined by 1. (θ, ∝)~ = (θ~, ~∝), θ~: ~∝ → Ṕ(Ṷ). 2. θ~(~w) = Ṷ \ θ(w); ∀w ∈ G. Proposition 3.8: Let (θ, ∝) = G, (θ1,∝1) = G1 and (θ2,∝2) = G2 be Linguistic Dual Hesitant hypersoft set (LDHHS) then following holds. 1. (θ1,∝1) ⸦ (θ1,∝1) 2. (θ2,∝E)(∅) ⸦ (θ2,∝2) 3. ~ (~ G) = G 4. ~ (θ2,∝E) (∅) = Ṷ 5. If (θ1,∝1) ⸦ (θ2,∝2) and (θ2,∝2) ⸦ (θ1,∝1) then (θ1,∝1) = (θ2,∝2) iff each wω of (θ1,∝1) = wω of (θ2,∝2). This property holds only when Dual Hesitant variables satisfy the property i.e., each wω of (θ1,∝1) = wω of (θ2,∝2). Proof: Recall G, G1 and G2 from example 3.1.1. 1. θ1 contains Dual Hesitant Variables G1, G2, G3, . . . Gn For each wω ∈ ∝1, we have a mapping θ1(wω) ⸦ θ1(wω) each Linguistic Dual Hesitant variable map to itself. Thus, the set (θ1,∝1) is a subset of itself by the Definition of 3.2, as the mappings are trivially reflexive. ∴(θ1,∝1) ⸦ (θ1,∝1).

Sathiyapriya and Dr. V. Pankajam, Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set and their Application with Decision Making in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2. ∝E refers to an empty domain, (i.e., no Linguistic Dual Hesitant variable) the complement operation on LDHHS with empty domain means there are no variables to map to Linguistic Dual Hesitant values. θ2(wω) = ∅ for all wω ∈ ∝E the function maps nothing to the power set Ṷ. Since the empty set is a subset of any set, it follows that (θ2,∝E)(∅) ⸦ (θ2,∝2) because the empty set maps to no Linguistic Dual Hesitant variables, making it trivially a subset of any non-empty LDHHS. 3. Let’s assume ∼(θ1,∝1) represents the complement of the LDHHS, which is (θ1,∝1) with each Linguistic Dual Hesitant variables wω replaced by its complement. Now, apply the complement again would return the original Dual Hesitant values, as: ∼ (∼ (wω)) = wω for each wω thus ~ (~ G) = G, Confirming the double complementation property. 4. When the LDHHS is complemented and the domain is the empty set, the result is the complement of the empty set, which is the entire universal set Ṷ. Therefore, ∼ (θ2,∝E) (∅) = Ṷ. 5. Let’s assume that (θ1,∝1) ⊆ (θ2,∝2) and (θ2,∝2) ⊆ (θ1,∝1). This means that for all, wω ∈ θ1, there exists a corresponding wω ∈ θ2 such that θ1(wω) ⊆ θ2(wω) Similarly, (θ2,∝2) ⊆ (θ1,∝1) implies: θ2(wω) ⊆ θ1(wω) Since θ1(wω) ⊆ θ2(wω) and θ2(wω) ⊆ θ1(wω), we conclude: θ1(wω) = θ2(wω) Thus, (θ1,∝1) = (θ2,∝2), provided that the Linguistic Dual Hesitant variables wω from both sets match exactly. 4. Operational Laws on LDHHSS In this section, we discuss the importance of operational laws, theorems and propose for LDHHS. Let (θ1,∝1) = G1 and (θ2,∝2) = G2 be two LDHHS, where ∝1 = {u1 ×u2× u3× ....×up: p is finite and real valued} over Ṷ with mapping θ:∝1 = u1 ×u2× u3× ....×up → Ṕ(Ṷ) and ∝2= u1 ×u2× u3× ....×uq: y is finite and real valued} over Ᾰ with mapping θ:∝2 = u1 ×u2× u3× ....×uq → Ṕ(Ṷ). Such that (θ,∝) = θ(λ(w)) = {β(λ (γ+, η+)) | β ⊆ λ & γ+, η+ ∈ w = {w1, w2, w3, . . . wn}} Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 98, 2026 9 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ B. Sathiyapriya and Dr. V. Pankajam, Linguistic Dual Hesitant Hypersoft Set and their Application with Decision Making in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment where w is the set of Linguistic terms and γ+, η+ represents the Dual Hesitant Maximum of Membership and non-membership values in Linguistic terms in ascending order i. e. very dissatisfied to very satisfied. Then the operational laws on LDHHS can be defined with some necessary conditions. Definition 4.1 Union of LDHHS The union of two LDHHS, (θ1,∝1) = G1 and (θ2,∝2) = G2, can be represented as G1∪G2. Depending on the relationship between their Linguistic Dual Hesitant variables and their domains, the union is defined in two cases. Case 1: Let (θ1,∝1) = G1 and (θ2,∝2) = G2 be two LDHHS, then the union can be defined as G1∪G2 = {Π λp(wp) × Π λq(wq) ∈ ∏ up n p=1 × ∏ uq n q=1 } where, λp(wp) ∈ ∏ up n p=1 and λq(wq) ∈ ∏ uq n q=1 should be distinct with up∪uq = ∅, for p ≠ q and p, q ∈ {1, 2, …. n}and w = {w1, w2, w3, . . . wn}. Case 2: G1∪G2 = {λp(wp) ∈ ∏ up n p=1 × ∏ uq n q=1 } With p = q and Linguistic Dual Hesitant variable wp of up should be same. Example: Consider 3.1.1 Case 1: θ1({Pine, Teak})= {s1, s2} = {s1(satisfied, neutral), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied), s2(very dissatisfied, dissatisfied), (neutral, very dissatisfied)} = G1 θ2({Cedar,Beech})= {s1, s2} = {s1(very dissatisfied, dissatisfied), (satisfied, neutral), s2(neutral, dissatisfied), (very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied)} = G2. ∴ up∪ uq= ∅ with p ≠ q G1∪G2= {s1(satisfied,dissatisfied), s2(dissatisfied,neutral),s1(disatisfied,satisfied), s2(neutral,very dissatisfied)}. Case 2: θ1({Pine,Beach}) = {s1,s2} = {s1(satisfied, neutral), (dissatisfied, very dissatisfied), s2(neutral, dissatisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied)} = G1 θ2({Pine,Teak})= {s1,s2} = {s1(satisfied, neutral), (dissatisfied, very dissatisfied), s2(neutral, dissatisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied)} = G2. ∴ up∪ uq ≠∅ with p = q G1∪G2= {s1(satisfied,dissatisfied),s2(neutral,dissatisfied)}. Case 3: (counter example) θ1({Pine,Beach})= {s1,s2} = {s1(satisfied, neutral), (dissatisfied, very dissatisfied), s2(neutral, dissatisfied), (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied)} = G1 Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 98, 2026 16 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ B.
