Pythagorean Fuzzy LINMAP Method Based on the Entropy Theory for Railway Project Investment Decision Making

The uncertainty and complexity of the decision‐making environment and the subjectivity of the decision makers will lead to the inevitable errors of the decision‐making data. A poor decision will be produced with those errors, whereas the linear programming technique for multidimensional analysis of preference (LINMAP) method can adjust such errors through constructing an optimal programming model based on the consistency of the decision‐making information, and it has been applied widely in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM). Moreover, Pythagorean fuzzy information is useful to simulate the ambiguous and uncertain decision‐making environment. Therefore, the LINMAP method under the Pythagorean fuzzy circumstance will be proposed in this paper to solve MAGDM problems. To measure the fuzziness and uncertainty of Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) and interval‐valued PFS, Pythagorean fuzzy entropy (PFE) and interval‐valued PFE (IVPFE) grounded on the similarity and hesitancy parts have been defined, respectively. Then, Pythagorean fuzzy LINMAP (PF LINMAP) methods are constructed on the basis of the PFE and IVPFE correspondingly. Under the given preference relations, the maximum consistency and the amount of knowledge can be realized by the proposed methods. After investigating the relevant indicator system, the decision‐making problem concerning railway project investment has been solved through the proposed PF LINMAP method with PFE. Finally, the practicability and effectiveness of the PF LINMAP method has been verified via the comparative analysis with the existing methods.

A Novel Method for Multiattribute Decision Making with Interval‐Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Linguistic Information

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), proposed by Yager (2013), is a generalization of the notion of Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy set, which has received more and more attention. In this paper, first, we define the weighted Minkowski distance with interval‐valued PFSs. Second, inspired by the idea of the Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic variables, we define a new fuzzy variable called interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic variable set (IVPFLVS), and the operational laws, score function, accuracy function, comparison rules, and distance measures of the IVPFLVS are defined. Third, some aggregation operators are presented for aggregating the interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic information such as the interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic weighted averaging (IVPFLWA), interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic ordered weighted averaging (IVPFLOWA) , interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic hybrid averaging, and generalized interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic ordered weighted average operators. Fourth, some desirable properties of the IVPFLWA and IVPFLOWA operators, such as monotonicity, commutativity, and idempotency, are discussed. Finally, based on the IVPFLWA or interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic geometric weighted operator, a practical example is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed approach and demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

An Interval‐Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Outranking Method with a Closeness‐Based Assignment Model for Multiple Criteria Decision Making

The concept of interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy (IVPF) sets is capable of handling imprecise and ambiguous information and managing complex uncertainty in real‐world applications. This paper focuses on multiple criteria decision analysis involving IVPF information and proposes a new outranking decision‐making method that uses a closeness‐based assignment model. In contrast to the existing assignment‐based methodology, the uniqueness of this paper is the consideration of uncertain information represented by IVPF values, the determination of criterion‐wise precedence rankings based on a closeness‐based approach, and the development of a new measure for scalar representation. First, to underlie anchored judgments in subjective decision‐making processes, this paper presents a compromising concept of the closeness index with the positive‐ideal and negative‐ideal IVPF values to identify criterion‐wise precedence ranks among alternatives. Next, this paper defines the concept of matrices of precedence frequency and contribution to provide a basis for the proposed assignment model. To overcome the difficulty of lacking nontrivial scalar representations, a useful measure is also developed to appropriately describe IVPF values. Based on a closeness‐based assignment approach, a novel outranking decision‐making method is proposed to transform the extended criterion‐wise ranks into the ultimate priority orders of the alternatives. The proposed method is first implemented in a practical problem of selecting a bridge construction method to demonstrate its feasibility and applicability. Moreover, its practicality and effectiveness are verified through a comparative analysis with relevant assignment‐based approaches. Further comparative analyses with newly developed IVPF decision‐making methods are conducted for both a risk evaluation problem and an investment problem to examine the advantages of the proposed method and extend the current technique by considering distinct preference information for adapting to the particularities in practice.     

Extension of TOPSIS to Multiple Criteria Decision Making with Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets

Recently, a new model based on Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) has been presented to manage the uncertainty in real‐world decision‐making problems. PFS has much stronger ability than intuitionistic fuzzy set to model such uncertainty. In this paper, we define some novel operational laws of PFSs and discuss their desirable properties. For the multicriteria decision‐making problems with PFSs, we propose an extended technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution method to deal effectively with them. In this approach, we first propose a score function based comparison method to identify the Pythagorean fuzzy positive ideal solution and the Pythagorean fuzzy negative ideal solution. Then, we define a distance measure to calculate the distances between each alternative and the Pythagorean fuzzy positive ideal solution as well as the Pythagorean fuzzy negative ideal solution, respectively. Afterward, a revised closeness is introduced to identify the optimal alternative. At length, a practical example is given to illustrate the developed method and to make a comparative analysis.

A New Generalized Pythagorean Fuzzy Information Aggregation Using Einstein Operations and Its Application to Decision Making

The objective of this article is to extend and present an idea related to weighted aggregated operators from fuzzy to Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs). The main feature of the PFS is to relax the condition that the sum of the degree of membership functions is less than one with the square sum of the degree of membership functions is less than one. Under these environments, aggregator operators, namely, Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (PFEWA), Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (PFEOWA), generalized Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (GPFEWA), and generalized Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (GPFEOWA), are proposed in this article. Some desirable properties corresponding to it have also been investigated. Furthermore, these operators are applied to decision‐making problems in which experts provide their preferences in the Pythagorean fuzzy environment to show the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the new approach. Finally, a systematic comparison between the existing work and the proposed work has been given.     

Pythagorean Fuzzy Multiattribute Group Decision Making with Probabilistic Information and OWA Approach

The aim of this paper is to develop a Pythagorean fuzzy multiattribute group decision making (MAGDM) method based on probabilistic information and the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) approach. The Pythagorean fuzzy probabilistic ordered weighted averaging (PFPOWA) operator is presented. It is a new aggregation operator that considers the probabilities and the OWA in the same formulation. Therefore, it is able to take into account the degree of importance that each concept has in the particular problem considered. Some main properties and different particular cases of the PFPOWA operators are studied. Moreover, a method based on the proposed operator for multiattribute group decision making is put forward. Finally, an example showing analysis of a supplier selection is given to verify the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method.     

A Note on Extension of TOPSIS to Multiple Criteria Decision Making with Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets

In this note, we point out an error to the proof of Theorem 3.4 in Zhang and Xu (Int J Intell Syst 2014;29(12):1061–1078) by a counterexample. We find that the inequality (i.e., ) with respect to the degrees of indeterminacy of any three Pythagorean fuzzy numbers in the proof of Theorem 3.4 in Zhang and Xu's paper is not valid. A new proof is provided in this note.     

Interval‐Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multiattribute Group Decision Making Based on Cross Entropy Measure and Choquet Integral

In this paper, a new operator called the arithmetic interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet aggregation (AIVIFCA) operator is defined. Since interactions between elements might exist in all their combinations, the generalized Shapley AIVIFCA (GSAIVIFCA) operator is introduced. Further, to simplify the complexity of solving a fuzzy measure, the 2‐additive generalized Shapley AIVIFCA (2AGSAIVIFCA) operator is presented. Moreover, a decision procedure to interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy multiattribute group decision making is developed. When the weight vectors on attribute set and expert set are not exactly known, the models for obtaining the optimal fuzzy measures are established by using the defined cross entropy measure and the Shapley function. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed procedure.     

Sugeno Integral with Possibilistic Inputs with Application to Multi‐Criteria Decision Making

We introduce the Sugeno integral and describe how it can be used to provide a weighted mean‐like aggregation of a collection of values drawn from the unit interval. We explain that the underlying measure provides information about the weights associated with the arguments. We provide an alternative view of the Sugeno integral that enables us to extend its use to situations in which the arguments in the aggregation are possibility distributions. We look at the application of the Sugeno integral to the formulation of decision functions in the case of multi‐criteria decision making. We focus on the situation where there exists some possibilistic uncertainty in our knowledge of criteria satisfactions by an alternative. We provide operational formulations for the calculation of some notable decision functions in the case of possibilistically uncertain criteria satisfactions.     

Some q‐Rung Orthopai Fuzzy Bonferroni Mean Operators and Their Application to Multi‐Attribute Group Decision Making

In the real multi‐attribute group decision making (MAGDM), there will be a mutual relationship between different attributes. As we all know, the Bonferroni mean (BM) operator has the advantage of considering interrelationships between parameters. In addition, in describing uncertain information, the eminent characteristic of q‐rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q‐ROFs) is that the sum of the qth power of the membership degree and the qth power of the degrees of non‐membership is equal to or less than 1, so the space of uncertain information they can describe is broader. In this paper, we combine the BM operator with q‐rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q‐ROFNs) to propose the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy BM (q‐ROFBM) operator, the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy weighted BM (q‐ROFWBM) operator, the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy geometric BM (q‐ROFGBM) operator, and the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy weighted geometric BM (q‐ROFWGBM) operator, then the MAGDM methods are developed based on these operators. Finally, we use an example to illustrate the MAGDM process of the proposed methods. The proposed methods based on q‐ROFWBM and q‐ROFWGBM operators are very useful to deal with MAGDM problems.

Projection Model for Fusing the Information of Pythagorean Fuzzy Multicriteria Group Decision Making Based on Geometric Bonferroni Mean

As a new generalization of fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) can availably handle uncertain information more flexibly in the process of decision making. Through synthesizing the Bonferroni mean and the geometric mean, the geometric Bonferroni mean (GBM) captures the interrelationship of the input arguments. Considering the interrelationship among the input arguments, we introduce GBM into Pythagorean fuzzy situations and expand its applied fields. Under the Pythagorean fuzzy environment, we develop the Pythagorean fuzzy geometric Bonferroni mean and weighted Pythagorean fuzzy geometric Bonferroni mean (WPFGBM) operators describing the interrelationship between arguments and some special properties of them are also investigated. Then, we employ the WPFGBM operator to fuse the information in the Pythagorean fuzzy multicriteria group decision making (PFMCGDM) problem, which can obtain much more information in the process of group decision making. With the aid of the projection model, we present its extension and further design a new method for the application of PFMCGDM. Finally, an example is given to elaborate on the performance of our proposed method.     

A Novel Correlation Coefficients between Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets and Its Applications to Decision‐Making Processes

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is one of the most successful in terms of representing comprehensively uncertain and vague information. Considering that the correlation coefficient plays an important role in statistics and engineering sciences, in this paper, after pointing out the weakness of the existing correlation coefficients between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), we propose a novel correlation coefficient and weighted correlation coefficient formulation to measure the relationship between two PFSs. Pairs of membership, nonmembership, and hesitation degree as a vector representation with the two elements have been considered during formulation. Numerical examples of pattern recognition and medical diagnosis have been taken to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. Results computed by the proposed approach are compared with the existing indices.
