The hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) are an extension of the classical fuzzy sets. The membership degree of each element in a hesitant fuzzy set can be a set of possible values in the interval [0,1]. On the other hand, distance and similarity measures are important tools in several applications such as pattern recognition, clustering, medical diagnosis, etc. Hence, numerous studies have focused on investigating distance and similarity measures for HFSs. In this paper, some improved distance and similarity measures are introduced for the HFSs, considering the variation range as a hesitance degree for these sets. Comparing the proposed measures to some available distance and similarity measures indicated the better results of the proposed measures. Finally, the application of the proposed measures was investigated in the clustering.

Multi Criteria Decision Making

 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.

Axiomatic Definition

As a generation of ordinary fuzzy set, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), characterized both by a membership degree and by a nonmembership degree, is a more flexible way to cope with the uncertainty. Similarity measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used to indicate the similarity degree between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Although many similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been proposed in previous studies, some of those cannot satisfy the axioms of similarity or provide counterintuitive cases. In this paper, a new similarity measure and weighted similarity measure between IFSs are proposed. It proves that the proposed similarity measures satisfy the properties of the axiomatic definition for similarity measures. Comparison between the previous similarity measures and the proposed similarity measure indicates that the proposed similarity measure does not provide any counterintuitive cases. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed similarity measure is capable of discriminating difference between patterns.

Definition Of

The measurement of uncertainty is an important topic for the theories dealing with uncertainty. The definition of similarity measure between two IFSs is one of the most interesting topics in IFSs theory. A similarity measure is defined to compare the information carried by IFSs. Many similarity measures have been proposed. A few of them come from the well-known distance measures. In this work, a new similarity measure between IFSs was proposed by the consideration of the information carried by the membership degree, the non-membership degree, and hesitancy degree in intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed similarity measure, various similarity measures between IFSs were compared with the proposed similarity measure between IFSs by numerical examples. The compared results demonstrated that the new similarity measure is reasonable and has stronger discrimination among them. Finally, the similarity measure was applied to pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. Two illustrative examples were provided to show the effectiveness of the pattern recognition and medical diagnosis.

Complex dual hesitant fuzzy set (CDHFS) is an assortment of complex fuzzy set (CFS) and dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS). In this manuscript, the notion of the CDHFS is explored and its operational laws are discussed. The new methodology of the complex interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy set (CIvDHFS) and its necessary laws are introduced and are also defensible with the help of examples. Further, the antilogarithmic and with-out exponential-based similarity measures, generalized similarity measures, and their important characteristics are also developed. These similarity measures are applied in the environment of pattern recognition and medical diagnosis to evaluate the proficiency and feasibility of the established measures. We also solved some numerical examples using the established measures to examine the reliability and validity of the proposed measures by comparing these with existing measures. To strengthen the proposed study, the comparative analysis is made and it is conferred that the proposed study is much more superior to the existing studies.

Fuzzy set (FS) theory is one of the most important tool to deasl with complicated and difficult information in real-world. Now FS has many extensions and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) is one of them. Further generalization of FS is complex fuzzy set (CFS), which contains only the membership grade, whose range is unit disc instead of [0, 1]. The aim of this paper is to present the idea of complex hesitant fuzzy set (CHFS) and to introduce its basic properties. Basically, CHFS is the combination of CFS and HFS to deal with two dimension information in a single set. Further, the vector similarity measures (VSMs) such as Jaccard similarity measures (JSMs), Dice similarity measures (DSMs) and Cosine similarity measures (CSMs) for CHFSs are discussed. The special cases of the proposed measures are also discussed. Then, the notion of complex hesitant fuzzy hybrid vector similarity measures are utilized in the environment of pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. Further, based on these distance measures, a decision-making method has been presented for finding the best alternative under the set of the feasible one. Illustrative examples from the field of pattern recognition as well as medical diagnosis have been taken to validate the approach. Finally, the comparison between proposed approaches with existing approaches are also discussed to find the reliability and proficiency of the elaborated measures for complex hesitant fuzzy elements.

Convexity is one of the most important geometric properties of sets and a useful concept in many fields of mathematics, like optimization. As there are also important applications making use of fuzzy optimization, it is obvious that the studies of convexity are also frequent. In this paper we have extended the notion of convexity for hesitant fuzzy sets in order to fulfill some necessary properties. Namely, we have found an appropriate definition of convexity for hesitant fuzzy sets on any ordered universe based on aggregation functions such that it is compatible with the intersection, that is, the intersection of two convex hesitant fuzzy sets is a convex hesitant fuzzy set and it fulfills the cut worthy property.

<abstract><p>In this paper, we introduce the notion of $ m $-polar spherical fuzzy set ($ m $-PSFS) which is a hybrid notion of $ m $-polar fuzzy set ($ m $-PFS) and spherical fuzzy set (SFS). The purpose of this hybrid structure is to express multipolar information in spherical fuzzy environment. An $ m $-PSFS is a new approach towards computational intelligence and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. We introduce the novel concepts of correlation measures and weighted correlation measures of $ m $-PSFSs based on statistical notions of covariances and variances. Correlation measures estimate the linear relationship of the two quantitative objects. A correlation may be positive or negative depending on the direction of the relation between two objects and its value lies the interval $ [-1, 1] $. The same concept is carried out towards $ m $-polar spherical fuzzy ($ m $-PSF) information. We investigate certain properties of covariances and the correlation measures to analyze that these concepts are extension of crisp correlation measures. The main advantage of proposed correlation measures is that these notions deal with uncertainty in the real-life problems efficiently with the help of $ m $-PSF information. We discuss applications of $ m $-polar spherical fuzzy sets and their correlation measures in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. To discuss the superiority and efficiency of proposed correlation measures, we give a comparison analysis of proposed concepts with some existing concepts.</p></abstract>
