This study proposes a complex Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE III method, which effectively handles pseudo criterion and two dimensional imprecise data for authentic decision-making by taking advantage of the flexible structure of complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets.
The striking theory of ELECTRE III approach, being a marvelous strategy to deal with pseudo criterion, prevails over the traditional variants of ELECTRE method and other decision-making approaches for veracious decision-making. The noticeable efficiency and broader space of complex Pythagorean fuzzy model make it more significant and dominant for modeling two dimensional imprecise knowledge. The remarkable contribution of this study is to present a high aptitude variant of ELECTRE method by taking the advantage of the flexible structure of complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets closely following the outranking principles of ELECTRE III method. The proposed complex Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE III method is accredited to employ the theory of ELECTRE III technique to excellently deal with pseudo criterion as well as the two dimensional imprecise data for authentic decision-making. The proposed methodology uses three different threshold values, including preference, indifference and veto threshold values, to check the preference relation between alternatives. The presented strategy is applied to a case study for material selection to get the befitting decision. The comparative study with Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE III method is also included in this article to verify its decision-making aptitude.
