Abstract:

Pythagorean fuzzy set expands the information representation content of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and has the advantage of reflecting larger information space. Constructing the distance measure of Pythagorean fuzzy sets is the core link of implementing Pythagorean fuzzy decision-making. Firstly, this paper deeply analyzes the defects of the existing four distance measures of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, establishes a spatial information representation model of Pythagorean fuzzy sets integrating the membership degree and nonmembership degree, hesitation degree and strength of commitment, and then puts forward a novel distance measure based on the spatial centroid of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. Secondly, the specific properties of the proposed distance measure are extended, and the advantages of this distance measure model in reflecting hesitation and solving counterintuitive situations are proven and compared. Finally, the application research of pattern recognition and medical diagnosis verifies the accuracy and superiority of this distance measure between Pythagorean fuzzy sets.

Key words: Pythagorean fuzzy sets, distance measure, space centroid, strength of commitment
