Novel similarity measures under complex pythagorean fuzzy soft matrices and their application in decision making problems

Abstract

AbstractComplex fuzzy soft matrices play a crucial role in various applications, including decision-making, pattern recognition, signals processing, and image processing. The main objective of this study is to introduce the unique notions of complex Pythagorean fuzzy soft matrices (CPFSMs), which provide more flexibility and accuracy in modelling uncertainty. CPFSMs incorporate Pythagorean fuzzy soft matrices, allowing for more sophisticated uncertainty modeling. The key findings of CPFSMs, specific instances, and certain fundamental set-theoretic operations and principles were covered. A set of new distance metrics between two CPFSMs has been defined. In the context of complex Pythagorean fuzzy soft sets and complex Pythagorean fuzzy soft matrices, we created a CPFS decision-making technique. Moreover, the application’s numerical example and comparison analysis have been effectively demonstrated. Thus, by integrating the concepts of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, soft matrices, and complex numbers, CPFSMs provide a robust framework with membership and non-membership degrees for complex decision-making modeling and analyzing uncertain data.
