Another View on Picture Fuzzy Soft Sets and Their Product Operations with Soft Decision-Making

Abstract

Cuong [Picture Fuzzy Sets, Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics 30 (4) (2014) 409–420] has introduced the concept of picture fuzzy soft sets (pfs-sets) relying on his definition and operations of picture fuzzy sets (pf -sets), in which there exist some inconsistencies. Yang et al. [Adjustable Soft Discernibility Matrix Based on Picture Fuzzy Soft Sets and Its Applications in Decision Making, Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems 29 (4) (2015) 1711–1722] have claimed that they have introduced the concept of pfs-sets with the inconsistencies in Cuong’s definition of pf -sets. Therefore, this study redefines the concept of pfs-sets to deal with the inconsistencies therein. Moreover, it investigates some of the properties of pfs-sets and their product operations and proposes a soft decision-making method via pfs-sets. Finally, pfs-sets, their product operations, and the proposed method are discussed for further research.
