This study introduces Pythagorean fuzzy soft sets (PFSS), an advanced decision-making tool offering more precise information than intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets (IFSS). The research develops new operations and a technique for PFSS, proving its effectiveness through examples and comparisons.
Area of Science:
- Decision Sciences
- Fuzzy Set Theory
- Computational Intelligence
Background:
- Pythagorean fuzzy soft sets (PFSS) extend Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFS) for decision-making with parametrized alternatives.
- PFSS offer enhanced precision compared to intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets (IFSS).
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop novel algebraic operations (OR, AND, necessity, possibility) for PFSS.
- To establish fundamental properties of PFSS using these new operations.
- To propose a PFSS-based decision-making technique using a score matrix.
Main Methods:
- Construction of algebraic operations for PFSS.
- Derivation and verification of fundamental PFSS properties.
- Development of a score matrix-based decision-making algorithm.
Main Results:
- New algebraic operations and properties for PFSS were successfully established.
- A novel decision-making technique utilizing PFSS was developed and validated.
- The proposed PFSS approach demonstrated superior effectiveness and information delivery compared to existing methods.
Conclusions:
- The developed algebraic operations and decision-making technique enhance the utility of PFSS.
- PFSS provide a more precise and effective framework for complex decision-making problems.
- The proposed method offers practical advantages over current decision-making approaches.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
