Abstract

The fuzzy set theory was introduced to handle uncertainty due to imprecision, vagueness and partial information. Then, its extensions such as intuitionistic fuzzy set, intuitionistic interval-valued fuzzy set, Pythagorean fuzzy set were introduced and applied successfully in many fields. Then another extension of orthopair fuzzy set was introduced as Fermatean fuzzy set which is characterized by membership degree and non-membership degree which makes it to provide an excellent tool to present imprecise opinions of humans in decision-making processes. This study is devoted to construct a novel Fermatean fuzzy divergence measure along with its evidence of legitimacy and to deliberate its key properties. The proposed divergence measure for Fermatean fuzzy sets with weighted aggregation operators is applied to fix decision-making problems through numerical illustrations. A comparative study is given between the proposed Fermatean fuzzy divergence measure and the extant methods to test its effectiveness, viability and expediency. Their results were compared in order to check the superiority of the proposed measure.
