Abstract:

The target of current work is to propose a new approach to deal with multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problems with interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set (IVPFS) based on the concepts of covering-based rough set (CRS) and TOPSIS and give its application in MADM problems. To begin with, we integrate the fuzzy rough set (FRS), IVPFS and CRS and define the covering-based interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy rough set (CIVPFRS). Firstly, the relative notions of the CIVPFRS model are introduced. In addition, the distance measure of interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (IVPFNs) is defined; based on the proposed distance, the rough and precision degrees of CIVPFRS are discussed. Thirdly, on the basis of the theoretical analysis for CIVPFRS models, an interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy TOPSIS method is designed to deal with the MADM problems with interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information (IVPFI). Last of all, the validity and merits of the proposed approach are illustrated by an example, and the sensitivity analysis of the parameters and the comparison with the existing related methods are carried out.
