Abstract

Pythagorean Fuzzy Preference Relations (PFPRs) have been considered in recent literature more powerful and flexible than the popular intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation in dealing with the linguistic imprecision for decision makers in the large scale group decision making. Following on this promising trend, a novel approach based on the PFPRs is proposed for decision support. In particular, the proposed work starts with the acquisition of the optimal comparison matrices, which essentially record the pairwise comparison of the alternatives from the positive and negative opinions. The proposed consensus reaching process is then utilised to guide the decision makers to revise the provided information in order to reach the overall group consensus, before the derivation of rankings of the alternatives. Experimental studies are provided to demonstrate the workings and effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison with two state-of-the-art methods.
