Abstract: The Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic (LPN) set is a powerful framework for handling uncertainty in assessments by integrating linguistic variables with Pythagorean Neutrosophic numbers (PNNs). In this study, we define new fundamental operations on Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic Numbers (LPNNs) based on Einstein operations and examine their interrelationships. To address the challenges of LPNN fusion, we propose several LPN aggregation operators, namely the LPN Einstein Weighted Averaging (LPNEWA), and LPN Einstein Order Weighted Averaging (LPNEOWG) operators, and investigate their key characteristics. To demonstrate the proposed methodologyโs usefulness, we present an illustrative case study in sustainability agriculture. This case study highlights the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed decision-making model. Keywords: Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic set; LPN Einstein Weighted Average Operator, LPN Einstein Order Weighted Average Operator, Multi-Criteria Decision Making i. Introduction In 1998, Smarandache [1] introduced the concept of Neutrosophic sets (๐๐ ๐๐ก), as an extension of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (๐ผ๐น๐ ๐๐ก), which provides a more comprehensive framework for handling uncertainty. Unlike ๐ผ๐น๐ ๐๐ก๐ , those that are characterized by degrees of truth and falsity, ๐๐ ๐๐ก incorporates an additional dimension of uncertainty, enabling decision-makers to evaluate problems in terms of independent truth (T), indeterminacy (I), and falsity (F) values. This independence makes ๐๐ ๐๐ก a more powerful and generalized mathematical framework for representing and processing vague or imprecise information. Since its inception, researchers have extensively studied [2-5] both the theoretical foundations and applications of ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ . Linguistic variables (๐ฟ๐๐ ) are used to express qualitative evaluations in complex decision-making. Zadeh [6] concept of ๐ฟ๐๐ for preference information in fuzzy reasoning gained broad research interest and led to further advancements in decision-making (DM) science. Fang and Ye [7] first introduced linguistic neutrosophic numbers (๐ฟ๐๐๐ ), incorporating linguistic values for truth, indeterminacy, and falsity, and enabling the use of Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 94, 2025

Mohanalakshmi , Sustainability analysis in agriculture using Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic number through Einstein aggregation operators all three kinds of linguistic information simultaneously. They further developed score and accuracy functions, along with aggregation operators, for effective decision-making. Recently, many researchers [8-12] have been exploring the applications, enhancements, and integration of ๐ฟ๐๐๐ into various decision-making frameworks and fuzzy logic systems. Zhao [13] introduced generalized aggregation operators based on ๐ผ๐น๐ ๐๐ก๐ and showed that the arithmetic aggregation (AA) and geometry aggregation (GA) are special cases of these operators. These operators are derived using the algebraic sum and product of number sets, corresponding to the Archimedes t-conorm and t-norm for defining union and intersection operations. Wang and Liu [14] developed several ๐ผ๐น๐ธ๐ด operators and demonstrated that the Einstein aggregation operator offers better results compared to the AA operator. Zhao and Wei [15] introduced the ๐ผ๐น๐ธ๐ป๐ด and ๐ผ๐น๐ธ๐ป๐บ operators. Guo et al. [16] applied the Einstein operations to hesitant fuzzy sets. Later Li et al. [17] introduced the generalized Neutrosophic number for the Einstein aggregation operator. Recently, numerous researchers [18-20] have been exploring the Neutrosophic Einstein operator and its application in various decision-making processes. When combined with ๐ฟ๐๐๐ ,the Einstein operators enable effective aggregation of linguistic values involving truth, indeterminacy, and falsity probabilities. This integration enhances decision-making by managing uncertainty and offering smooth aggregation methods, such as weighted or geometric averages. Recently, many researchers [21-23] have focused on the use of the Einstein operator with ๐ฟ๐๐๐ to manage uncertain or vague data in real-world decision-making settings. 1.2 Motivation Aggregation operators are vital in decision support systems for consolidating information and ranking alternatives. While traditional algebraic T-norm and S-norm operators lack flexibility and robustness, Einstein T-norm and S-norm provide a superior alternative with smooth approximation properties. To enhance decision support systems, we develop Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic Einstein Operators (LPNEO), enabling more effective aggregation of uncertain information. In sustainable agriculture, decision-making is often challenged by imprecise data, conflicting expert opinions, and dynamic environmental conditions. Tasks such as selecting appropriate crop varieties, optimizing resource allocation and infrastructure, or assessing the environmental impact of farming practices typically involve uncertain, incomplete, or ambiguous information. By integrating LPNEO, these challenges are effectively addressed, enabling more accurate handling of uncertainty and vagueness in agricultural decision processes. 1.3 Novelty โข This study extends the Einstein T-norm and T-conorm to LPNEO, improving their capability to manage uncertainty and imprecision more effectively. โข Establish a Multi-Attribute Group Decision-Making (MAGDM) framework based on the newly introduced Einstein operators, providing a more efficient and accurate approach for decision-making in uncertain environments. 1.4 Objective The key research objectives and contributions of this study are: Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 94, 2025

Unlike previous works that focus on fuzzy or standard neutrosophic numbers, LPNNs combine the enhanced flexibility of Pythagorean logic with the interpretability of linguistic terms. The application of Einstein operations, known for their nonlinear, bounded, and smooth aggregation behavior, further strengthens the robustness of this approach in complex decision-making scenarios. In this section, we introduce the Einstein sum (โ๐) and Einstein product (โ๐) operations within the LPNN framework, along with two aggregation operators such as LPN Einstein Weighted Average (LPNEWA) operator, and LPN Einstein Ordered Weighted Average (LPNEOWA) operator.

Theorem: 1 Let ๐ซ=(๐๐ผ1,๐๐ฝ1,๐๐พ1) and ๐ฌ=(๐๐ผ2,๐๐ฝ2,๐๐พ2) be two LPNNs and ๐1,๐2,๐3โฅ0, then the Einstein operation of โ๐ and โ๐ have the following performance: i. ๐ซโ๐๐ฌ=๐ฌโ๐๐ซ; ii. ๐ซโ๐๐ฌ=๐ฌโ๐๐ซ; iii. ๐(๐ซโ๐๐ฌ)=๐๐ซโ๐๐๐ฌ; iv.

27 SDG2 focuses on ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture. In the Indian agriculture sector, companies like Godrej Agrovet, AgNext Technologies, and Coromandel International are known for their sustainability initiatives and focus on sustainable farming practices. In this work, we consider four of these companies โญ=(โญ1,โญ2,โญ3,โญ4) in India depends on their product selling strategies for achieving sustainability in agriculture. based on these factors how the companies can maintain their sustainability in the agriculture field. There are decision makers/ experts ๐=(๐1,๐2,๐3) are invited to evaluate according to six factors based on the companyโs performance with weight vector is ๐ = (0.37,0.33,0.3) . The evaluations based on the experts make evaluations on the four alternative factors ๐ฎโฑ=(๐ฎโฑ1, ๐ฎโฑ2, ๐ฎโฑ3, ๐ฎโฑ4) with the weight vector ๐ฒ๐= (0.26,024,0.21,0.29).

Based on the expected values, four alternatives can be ranked โญ1 โป โญ4โป โญ3โป โญ2. Thus, company โญ2 is the optimal choice. 6.2 Comparative Analysis We compare the proposed LPNEWA and LPNEWG methods with other LIFEWA and LPFEWA approaches. The results of this comparison are presented in Figure 4. From Figure 4, it is evident that alternatives โญ3 and โญ2 emerge as the most optimal choices when evaluated using the LPNEWA and LPNEWG methods. The ranking orders produced by these two methods are: โญ1 โป โญ4โป โญ2โป โญ3 for LPNEWA, and โญ1 โป โญ4โป โญ3โป โญ2. for LPNEWG. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a comparison is made with existing approaches, including the linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted average (LIFWA) operator introduced by Chen et al. [25], the LPF weighted average (LPFWA) operator developed by Garg [26], Sine Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 94, 2025 S. Annadurai, R. Sundareswaran, M. Shanmugapriya, M.

29 Neutrosophic Einstein Weighted Averaging (S-SvNVEWA) and Sine Single-Valued Neutrosophic Einstein Weighted Geometric (S-SvNVEWG) aggregation operators developed by Zhang et al. [27]. Unlike these earlier methods [25โ27], the proposed LPNN-based approach can effectively represent and handle purely linguistic evaluation valuesโsomething that traditional MCDM methods cannot achieve. By integrating LPNS with Einstein operations, the proposed method clearly demonstrates its flexibility and effectiveness. Fig. 4. Comparative analysis of different MCDM methods 7. Conclusion This paper proposed a novel approach to solving MCDM problems. Initially, the Einstein operation was applied to Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic Numbers (LPNNs), and new operational rules were established based on this operator. Subsequently, several aggregation operators were integrated with the LPNNs to define the Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic Einstein Weighted Average (LPNEWA) operator and the Linguistic Pythagorean Neutrosophic Einstein Weighted Geometric (LPNEWG) operator, in accordance with the newly developed rules. Using the LPNEWA and LPNEWG operators, two methods were introduced to effectively address MCDM problems. To demonstrate the practicality and benefits of the proposed methods, they were applied to a real-world example.
