To fuse the information in dual-hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy sets (DHPFSs) more effectively, in this paper, some dual hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy Hamy mean (DHPFHM) operators, which can consider the relationships between being fused arguments, are defined and studied. Afterward, the defined aggregation operators are used to multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) with dual-hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy elements (DHPFEs), and the MADM decision-making model is developed. In accordance with the defined operators and the built model, the dual-hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy weighted Hamy mean (DHPFWHM) operator and the dual-hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy weighted dual Hamy mean (DHPFWDHM) operator are applied to deal with green supplier selection in supply chain management, and the availability and superiority of the proposed operators are analyzed by comparing with some existing approaches. The method presented in this paper can effectually solve the MADM problems, which the decision-making information is expressed by DHPFEs and the attributes are interactive.
