Abstract:

A cubic bipolar fuzzy set (CBFS) is a robust paradigm to express bipolarity and vagueness in terms of bipolar fuzzy numbers and interval-valued bipolar fuzzy numbers. The abstraction of similarity measures (SMs) has a large number of applications in various fields. Therefore, in this study, taking the advantage of CBFSs, three cosine similarity measures for CBFSs are proposed successively by using cosine of the angle between two vectors, new distance measures, and cosine function. Some key properties of these similarity measures (SMs) are explored. Based on suggested SMs, the problem of bacteria recognition is analyzed and an important application is provided to exhibit the efficiency of proposed SMs for CBF information. Moreover, the TOPSIS approach based on cosine SMs is developed for multicriteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems. An illustrative example about the selection of sustainable plastic recycling process is presented to discuss the efficiency of the suggested MCGDM technique.
