Some score functions on fermatean fuzzy sets and its application to bride selection based on TOPSIS method

The aim of this paper is to propose some score functions for the fruitful ranking of fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs) and fermatean fuzzy TOPSIS method based on proposed score functions. fermatean fuzzy sets proposed by Senapati and Yager can handle uncertain information more easily in the process of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). In this paper, the authors have proposed three newly improved score functions for effective ranking of fermatean fuzzy sets. Here, they have applied the proposed score function to calculate the separation measure of each alternative from the positive and negative ideal solutions to determine the relative closeness coefficient. Based on different types of score functions, they have employed the TOPSIS method to solve the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem in which all preference information provided by the decision makers is expressed in terms of fermatean fuzzy decision matrices. Finally, a numerical example for selecting the bride form matrimonial site has been considered to illustrate the proposed method. Copyright © 2021, IGI Global.
