Abstract
The objective of the present work is twofold. First, Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (PFOWA) aggregation operator is introduced along with its desirable properties, namely commutatively, idempotency, boundedness and monotonicity. Finally, the proposed operator is applied to decision making problems to show the validity, practicality and effectiveness of the new approach. The main advantage of using the proposed method is that this method gives more accurate results as compared to the existing methods.
