Some new Pythagorean fuzzy Choquet–Frank aggregation operators for multi‐attribute decision making

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) whose main feature is that the square sum of the membership degree and the non‐membership degree is equal to or less than one, is a powerful tool to express fuzziness and uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to investigate aggregation operators of Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (PFNs) based on Frank t‐conorm and t‐norm. We first extend the Frank t‐conorm and t‐norm to Pythagorean fuzzy environments and develop several new operational laws of PFNs, based on which we propose two new Pythagorean fuzzy aggregation operators, such as Pythagorean fuzzy Choquet–Frank averaging operator (PFCFA) and Pythagorean fuzzy Choquet–Frank geometric operator (PFCFG). Moreover, some desirable properties and special cases of the operators are also investigated and discussed. Then, a novel approach to multi‐attribute decision making (MADM) in Pythagorean fuzzy context is proposed based on these operators. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed method. The result shows effectiveness and flexible of the new method. A comparative analysis is also presented.     

Some power Maclaurin symmetric mean aggregation operators based on Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic numbers and their application to group decision making

The power average (PA) operator and Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator are two important tools to handle the multiple attribute group decision‐making (MAGDM) problems, and the combination of two operators can eliminate the influence of unreasonable information from biased decision makers (DMs) and can capture the interrelationship among any number of arguments. The Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic set (PFLS) is parallel to the intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS), which is more powerful to convey the uncertainty and ambiguity of the DMs than ILS. In this paper, we propose some power MSM aggregation operators for Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic information, such as Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic power MSM operator and Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic power weighted MSM (PFLPWMSM) operator. At the same time, we further discuss the properties and special cases of these operators. Then, we propose a new method to solve the MAGDM problems with Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic information based on the PFLPWMSM operator. Finally, some illustrative examples are utilized to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Pythagorean fuzzy multiple criteria decision analysis based on Shapley fuzzy measures and partitioned normalized weighted Bonferroni mean operator

Pythagorean fuzzy sets are powerful techniques for modeling vagueness in practice. The aim of this article is to investigate an effective means to aggregate uncertain information and then employ it into settling multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems within the Pythagorean fuzzy circumstances. To capture the nature of the reality, some special cases should be comprehensively considered. First, though correlation commonly exist among criteria, a deep insight should also be provided into some realistic situations, in which not all the criteria are interrelated to others. Besides, it is more reasonable to take the importance of the input arguments into consideration. Effected by aforementioned point, this article explores a Pythagorean fuzzy partitioned normalized weighted Bonferroni mean (PFPNWBM) operator with the combination of partitioned Bonferroni mean (BM) and normalized weighted BM operators considering Shapley fuzzy measure. Subsequently, in the context of partially known weight information, models are established to identify the optimal Shapley fuzzy measure. Moreover, integrated the PFPNWBM operator with the optimal Shapley fuzzy measure identification model, a Pythagorean fuzzy MCDM approach is designed. Finally, an illustrative example and detailed analyses are performed to demonstrate its feasibility and reliability.

The operations of -norm and -conorm, developed by Dombi, were generally known as Dombi operations, which may have a better expression of application if they are presented in a new form of flexibility within the general parameter. In this paper, we use Dombi operations to create a few Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi aggregation operators: Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi weighted average operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi order weighted average operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi hybrid weighted average operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi weighted geometric operator, Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi order weighted geometric operator, and Pythagorean fuzzy Dombi hybrid weighted geometric operator. The distinguished feature of these proposed operators is examined. At that point, we have used these operators to build up a model to remedy the multiple attribute decision-making issues under Pythagorean fuzzy environment. Ultimately, a realistic instance is stated to substantiate the created model and to exhibit its applicability and viability.

The Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is characterized by two functions expressing the degree of membership and the degree of nonmembership, which square sum of them is equal or less than 1. It was proposed as a generalization of a fuzzy set to deal with indeterminate and inconsistent information. In this study, we shall present some novel Dice similarity measures of PFSs and the generalized Dice similarity measures of PFSs and indicates that the Dice similarity measures and asymmetric measures (projection measures) are the special cases of the generalized Dice similarity measures in some parameter values. Then, we propose the generalized Dice similarity measures-based multiple attribute group decision-making models with Pythagorean fuzzy information. Then, we apply the generalized Dice similarity measures between PFSs to multiple attribute group decision making. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the similarity measures for selecting the desirable ERP system.

Pythagorean fuzzy Bonferroni mean aggregation operator and its accelerative calculating algorithm with the multithreading

In this paper, we study the well‐known Bonferroni mean and develop its generalized aggregation operators in the Pythagorean fuzzy environment. More specifically, by considering the interrelationship between arguments with Pythagorean fuzzy information, we develop the Pythagorean fuzzy Bonferroni mean (PFBM) and some special properties and cases of them are also discussed. Furthermore, taking the multicriteria decision making environment into consideration, we extend the results of PFBM and develop the weighted Pythagorean fuzzy Bonferroni mean (WPFBM). Meanwhile, we also propose an approach for the application of WPFBM. However, during the application of the WPFBM operator, the calculation is very complex and time consuming. Hence, we introduce the multithreading into the application of the WPFBM operator and develop an accelerative calculating algorithm for it. To validate the performance of the accelerative calculating algorithm, we further design the corresponding experimental analysis.     

Multiattribute group decision-making based on Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein prioritized aggregation operators

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is a powerful tool to deal with the imprecision and vagueness. Many aggregation operators have been proposed by many researchers based on PFSs. But the existing methods are under the hypothesis that the decision-makers (DMs) and the attributes are at the same priority level. However, in real group decision-making problems, the attribute and DMs may have different priority level. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) based on PFSs where there exists a prioritization relationship over the attributes and DMs. First we develop Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein prioritized weighted average operator and Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein prioritized weighted geometric operator. We study some of its desirable properties such as idempotency, boundary, and monotonicity in detail. Moreover we propose a MAGDM approach based on the developed operators under Pythagorean fuzzy environment. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to illustrate the practicality of the proposed approach.

These new operators have the advantages of considering the interrelationship of arguments and can deal with multiple attribute group decision-making problems with q-rung interval-valued orthopair fuzzy information.
