Aggregation Operators for Interval-Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Soft Set With Their Application To Solve Multi-Attribute Group Decision Making Problem

Abstract

Interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (IVPFSS) is a generalization of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IVIFSS) and interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set (IVPFS). The IVPFSS handled more uncertainty comparative to IVIFSS; it is the most significant technique for explaining fuzzy information in the decision-making process. In this work, some novel operational laws for IVPFSS have been proposed. Based on presented operational laws, two innovative aggregation operators (AOs) have been developed such as interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy soft weighted average (IVPFSWA) and interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy soft weighted geometric (IVPFSWG) operators with their fundamental properties. A multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach has been established utilizing our developed operators. A numerical example has been presented to ensure the validity of the proposed MAGDM technique. Finally, comparative studies have been given between the proposed approach and some existing studies. The obtained results through comparative studies show that the proposed technique is more credible and reliable than existing approaches.
