Abstract

Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (PFSS) is the most powerful and effective extension of Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFS) which deals with the parametrized values of the alternatives. It is also a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IFSS) which provides us better and precise information in the decision-making process comparative to IFSS. The core objective of this work is to construct some algebraic operations for PFSS such as OR-operation, AND-operation, and necessity and possibility operations. Furthermore, some fundamental properties have been established for PFSS utilizing the developed operations. Moreover, a decision-making technique has been offered for PFSS based on a score matrix. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach, a numerical example has been presented. Finally, to ensure the practicality of the established approach, a comprehensive comparative analysis has been presented. The obtained results show that our developed approach is most effective and delivers better information comparative to prevailing techniques.
