Geometric Aggregation Operators for Solving Multicriteria Group Decision-Making Problems Based on Complex Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

The Complex Pythagorean fuzzy set (CPyFS) is an efficient tool to handle two-dimensional periodic uncertain information, which has various applications in fuzzy modeling and decision making. It is known that the aggregation operators influence decision-making processes. Algebraic aggregation operators are the important and widely used operators in decision making techniques that deal with uncertain problems. This paper investigates some complex Pythagorean fuzzy geometric aggregation operators, such as complex Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric (CPyFWG), complex Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (CPyFOWG), complex Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid geometric (CPyFHG), induced complex Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (I-CPyFOWG), and induced complex Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid geometric (I-CPyFHG), and their structure properties, such as idempotency, boundedness, and monotonicity. In addition, we compare the proposed model with their existing models, such as complex fuzzy set and complex intuitionistic fuzzy set. We analyze an example involving the selection of an acceptable location for hospitals in order to demonstrate the effectiveness, appropriateness, and efficiency of the novel aggregation operators.
