Pythagorean fuzzy multicriteria group decision making through similarity measure based on point operators

In this paper, a series of similarity measures based on point operators for Pythagorean fuzzy sets are proposed. Using the proposed similarity measures, two new aggregation operators, viz., Pythagorean fuzzy-dependent averaging operator and Pythagorean fuzzy-dependent geometric operator, are developed. The advantage of using these operators is that the influence of unfair arguments of aggregated results could be eliminated, since the associated weights are taken from the aggregated Pythagorean fuzzy arguments. Also, the proposed operators have the capability to adjust the degree of aggregated arguments with the controlling parameters. To establish the application potentiality of those operators, a methodology for solving multicriteria group decision-making problems having Pythagorean fuzzy arguments is developed. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the proficiency of the proposed method. The achieved results are compared with the results of other existing technique.
