Abstract: The subtraction and division operators for T-spherical fuzzy numbers are proposed, and the properties of these subtraction and division operators for T-spherical fuzzy numbers are discussed. A grey relational analysis method based on T-spherical fuzzy subtraction and division operators is introduced. This method is then integrated with the vlsekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje(VIKOR)method to prevent the loss of T-spherical fuzzy information during calculations. Additionally, a novel score function is employed to refine the comparison mechanism for T-spherical fuzzy numbers. The validity and superiority of the proposed grey-VIKOR method, grounded in T-spherical fuzzy subtraction and division operators, are demonstrated through illustrative examples and comparative experiments. This approach provides a novel and effective methodology for addressing multi-attribute decision-making problems in T-spherical fuzzy environments.

Key words: T-spherical fuzzy set, T-spherical fuzzy cross-entropy, subtraction and division operators, score function, grey-VIKOR method
