 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.

In recent years, Intuitionistic fuzzy set is very useful in decision making problems such as medical diagnosis, pattern recognition, clustering etc., which deals with vagueness and uncertainty. Similarity measure is a tool used to find the closeness of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets by considering the membership, nonmembership and hesitation function. In this paper, we propose an effective similarity measure based on tangent function for intuitionistic fuzzy multi sets in which membership, nonmembership, hesitation function occurs more than once and also we apply this measure in medical diagnosis and pattern recognition.

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.

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.

The aim of this paper is to introduce some new operators for aggregating single-valued neutrosophic (SVN) information and to apply them to solve the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. Single-valued neutrosophic set, as an extension and generalization of an intuitionistic fuzzy set, is a powerful tool to describe the fuzziness and uncertainty, and Muirhead mean (MM) is a well-known aggregation operator which can consider interrelationships among any number of arguments assigned by a variable vector. In order to make full use of the advantages of both, we introduce two new prioritized MM aggregation operators, such as the SVN prioritized MM (SVNPMM) and SVN prioritized dual MM (SVNPDMM) under SVN set environment. In addition, some properties of these new aggregation operators are investigated and some special cases are discussed. Furthermore, we propose a new method based on these operators for solving the MCDM problems. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to testify the efficiency and superiority of the proposed method by comparing it with the existing method.

Due to the indeterminacy and uncertainty of the decision-makers (DM) in the complex decision making problems of daily life, evaluation and aggregation of the information usually becomes a complicated task. In literature many theories and fuzzy sets (FS) are presented for the evaluation of these decision tasks, but most of these theories and fuzzy sets have failed to explain the uncertainty and vagueness in the decision making issues. Therefore, we use complex intuitionistic fuzzy set (CIFS) instead of fuzzy set and intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS). A new type of aggregation operation is also developed by the use of complex intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (CIFNs), their accuracy and the score functions are also discussed in detail. Moreover, we utilized the Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator, which have the ability to capture the relationship among multi-input arguments, as a result, CIF Maclarurin symmetric mean (CIFMSM) operator and CIF dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (CIFDMSM) operator are presented and their characteristics are discussed in detail. On the basis of these operators, a MAGDM method is presented for the solution of group decision making problems. Finally, the validation of the propounded approach is proved by evaluating a numerical example, and by the comparison with the previously researched results.

We present dynamic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (DIVIFS), which can improve the recognition accuracy when they are applied to pattern recognition. By analyzing the degree of hesitancy, we propose some DIVIFS models from intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) and interval-valued IFS (IVIFS). And then we present a novel ranking condition on the distance of IFS and IVIFS and introduce some distance measures of DIVIFS satisfying the ranking condition. Finally, a pattern recognition example applied to medical diagnosis decision making is given to demonstrate the application of DIVIFS and its distances. The simulation results show that the DIVIFS method is more comprehensive and flexible than the IFS method and the IVIFS method.

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.

<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>
