The construction of divergence measures between two Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) is significant as it has a variety of applications in different areas such as multicriteria decision making, pattern recognition and image processing. The main purpose of this study to introduce an information-theoretic divergence so-called Pythagorean fuzzy Jensen-Rényi divergence (PFJRD) between two PFSs. The strength and characterization of the proposed Jensen-Rényi divergence between Pythagorean fuzzy sets lie in its practical applications which are very closed to real life. The proposed divergence measure is utilized to induce some useful similarity measures between PFSs. We apply them in pattern recognition, characterization of the similarity between linguistic variables and in multiple criteria decision making. To demonstrate the practical utility and applicability, we present some numerical examples related to daily life with the construction of Pythagorean fuzzy TOPSIS (Techniques of preference similar to ideal solution). Which is utilized to rank the Belt and Road initiative (BRI) projects. Our numerical simulation results show that the suggested measures are well suitable in pattern recognition, characterization of linguistic variables and multi-criteria decision-making environment.

 Higher-order fuzzy decision-making methods have become powerful tools to support decision-makers in solving their problems effectively by reflecting uncertainty in calculations better than crisp sets in the last 3 decades. Fermatean fuzzy set proposed by Senapati and Yager, which can easily process uncertain information in decision making, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis et al., is extension of intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set by relaxing the restraint conditions of the support for degrees and support against degrees. In this paper, we focus on the similarity measures of Fermatean fuzzy sets. The definitions of the Fermatean fuzzy sets similarity measures and its weighted similarity measures on discrete and continuous universes are given in turn. Then, the basic properties of the presented similarity measures are discussed. Afterward, a decision-making process under the Fermatean fuzzy environment based on TOPSIS method is established, and a new method based on the proposed Fermatean fuzzy sets similarity measures is designed to solve the problems of medical diagnosis. Ultimately, an interpretative multi-criteria decision making example and two medical diagnosis examples are provided to demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of the proposed method. Through comparing the different methods in the multi-criteria decision making and the medical diagnosis application, it is found that the new method is as efficient as the other methods. These results illustrate that the proposed method is practical in dealing with the decision making problems and medical diagnosis problems.

The intention of this paper is to propose some similarity measures between Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs). Firstly, we propose some score based similarity measures for finding similarity measures of FFSs and also propose score based cosine similarity measures between FFSs. Furthermore, we introduce three newly scored functions for effective uses of Fermatean fuzzy sets and discuss some relevant properties of cosine similarity measure. Fermatean fuzzy sets introduced by Senapati and Yager can manipulate uncertain information more easily in the process of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) and group decision making. Here, we investigate score based similarity measures of Fermatean fuzzy sets and scout the uses of FFSs in pattern recognition. Based on different types of similarity measures a pattern recognition problem viz. personnel appointment is presented to describe the use of FFSs and its similarity measure as well as scores. The counterfeit results show that the proposed method is more malleable than the existing method(s). Finally, concluding remarks and the scope of future research of the proposed approach are given.

In this article, we propose another form of ten similarity measures by considering the function of membership degree, non-membership degree, and indeterminacy membership degree between the q-ROFSs on the basis of the traditional cosine similarity measures and cotangent similarity measures. Then, we utilize our presented ten similarity measures and ten weighted similarity measures between q-ROFSs to deal with multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems including pattern recognition and scheme selection. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the scientific and effective of the similarity measures for pattern recognition and scheme selection.
