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., |(1)2-(2)2||(1)2-(3)2|) 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. (C) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
