A new condition on positive membership, neutral membership, and negative membership functions give us the successful extension of picture fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set and called spherical fuzzy sets ( SFS ) . This extends the domain of positive membership, neutral membership, and negative membership functions. Keeping in mind the importance of similarity measure and application in data mining, medical diagnosis, decision making, and pattern recognition, several studies on similarity measures have been proposed in the literature. Some of those, however, cannot satisfy the axioms of similarity and provide counter-intuitive cases. In this paper, we proposed the set-theoretic similarity and distance measures. We provide some counterexamples for already proposed similarity measures in the literature and shows that how our proposed method is important and applicable to the pattern recognition problems. In the end, we provide an application of a proposed similarity measure for selecting mega projects in under developed countries.

In this paper, we propose some novel similarity measures between picture fuzzy sets. The novel similarity measure is constructed by combining negative functions of each degree membership of picture fuzzy set. We apply them in several pattern recognition problems. Finally, we apply them to find the fault diagnosis of the steam turbine.

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 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.

The fractional orthotriple fuzzy set (FOFS) is more generalized than the spherical fuzzy set (SFS) and picture fuzzy set (PFS) to cope with awkward and complex information in fuzzy set (FS) theory. The FOFS is a more powerful technique with respect to the existing drawbacks because of its conditions, i.e., the sum of the f powers of positive, neutral, and negative grades is bounded to [0,1]. With the advantages of the FOFS, in this paper, we study the basic definitions and some existing similarity measures (SMs) of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), PFSs, Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PyFSs) and SFSs. The existing approaches have certain limitations and cannot be applied to problems that are in the form of FOFSs. The goal of this paper is to propose the idea of some new SMs including cosine SMs for FOFSs, SMs for FOFSs based on the cosine function, and SMs for FOFSs based on the cotangent function. Further, some weighted SMs (WSMs) are also proposed for which the weight of the attributes is considered. Then, we apply these SMs and WSMs to the pattern recognition problem. Finally, the comparative study of the new SMs for FOFSs is established with existing SMs, and also, some advantages of the proposed work are discussed.

 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.

Abstract Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is a broadening of intuitionistic fuzzy set that can represent the situations where the sum of membership and the non-membership values exceeds one. Adding parameterization to PFS we obtain a structure named as Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (PFSS). It has a higher capacity to deal with vagueness as it captures both the structures of a PFS and a soft set. Several practical situations demand the measure of similarity between two structures, whose sum of membership value and non-membership value exceeds one. There are no existing tools to measure the similarity between PFSS and this paper put forward similarity measures for PFSS. An axiomatic definition for similarity measure is proposed for PFSS and certain expressions for similarity measure are introduced. Further, some theorems which express the properties of similarity measures are proved. A comparative study between proposed expressions for similarity measure is carried out. Also, a clustering algorithm based on PFSS is introduced by utilizing the proposed similarity measure.

A similarity measure is a measure that indicates the degree of similarity between two objects. The purpose of this work is to investigate the monotonicity properties and applications of similarity measures on interval-valued fuzzy sets. Through analyzing the intuitions of similarities, three kinds of monotonic similarity measures are defined. Furthermore, their properties and relationships with entropy and inclusion measure are investigated and discussed. Finally, some applications of the proposed monotonic similarity measures, such as pattern recognition, medical recognition, and medical diagnosis are presented.
