Insights

Fermatean fuzzy soft sets (FFSS) model complex, uncertain data from childhood food allergies and anaphylaxis. Novel Hamacher operators enhance decision-making for identifying at-risk patients, improving emergency response and care.

Area of Science:

  • Fuzzy set theory
  • Decision analysis
  • Computational intelligence

Background:

  • Childhood food allergies pose life-threatening risks, particularly anaphylaxis.
  • Anaphylaxis is a complex condition with uncertain symptoms requiring precise medical management.
  • Existing decision-making models struggle with multi-faced and uncertain data inherent in anaphylaxis cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Fermatean fuzzy soft set (FFSS) to model complex, uncertain information.
  • Develop novel Fermatean fuzzy soft Hamacher weighted averaging and geometric operators.
  • Establish an approach for multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems using FFSS.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Hamacher class of parametric norms for operator development.
  • Applied FFSS and the developed operators to a decision-making problem.
  • Examined operator performance by varying the constant ∂ for information aggregation.
  • Investigated the generalization capabilities of triangular norms and the flexibility of Hamacher norms.

Main Results:

  • The FFSS approach effectively models multi-faced and uncertain data.
  • Novel Hamacher operators demonstrated enhanced differentiation between membership grades with varying ∂.
  • The study confirmed the flexibility and broader uncertainty modeling scope of Fermatean fuzzy sets and Hamacher norms.
  • Parameterization via soft set theory offers tailored uncertainty representation for complex scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • FFSS provides a robust framework for decision-making in complex medical scenarios like anaphylaxis.
  • The developed Hamacher operators offer improved data fusion and decision support.
  • The findings highlight the potential of FFSS and generalized norms for advanced uncertainty modeling and future research in fuzzy extensions.
