A Pythagorean fuzzy set is one of the successful extensions of the intuitionistic fuzzy set to handle the uncertain and fuzzy information in a more wider way. In this paper, some new exponential similarity measures (SMs) for measuring the similarities between objects are proposed. For it, we used the exponential function for the membership and the non-membership degrees and hence defined some series of the SMs for PFSs. The various desirable properties and their relations are examined. Several counter-intuitive cases are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed measures with the existing SMs. Furthermore, examples to classify the pattern recognition and the decision-making problems are presented and compared with the existing approaches.

“…However, due to the high diversity and complexity of actors and their conflicting interests, these factors are not necessary but appear in most configurations. As a result, one of the conclusions to be drawn in the present work is that the fsQCA should be used during a PPP in conjunction with simulationoptimization models, and these results could be shown to the different stakeholders (Liu and Liao, 2017).…”

This study analyzes the level of satisfaction of stakeholders in the public participation process (PPP) of water resources management, which is mandatory according to the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The methodology uses a fuzzy set/qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), which allows the identification of a combination of factors that lead to the outcome that is stakeholders' satisfaction. It allows dealing with uncertain environments due to the heterogeneous nature of stakeholders and factors. The considered causes range from environmental objectives pursued, actual capacity of efficiently carrying out those objectives, socioeconomic development of the region, level of involvement and means of participation of the stakeholders engaged in the PPP, and alternative policies and measures that should be performed. Results support the argument that different causal paths explain the stakeholders' satisfaction. The methodology may help in the implementation of the WFD and conflict resolution since it leads to greater fairness, social equity, and consensus among stakeholders.

“…MCDM is a growing field of decision-making theory for a wide range of experts (Liu & Liao, 2017;Liao, Tang, Li, & Lev, 2019b). Zionts (1979) introduced two classes of methods, namely continuous and discrete approaches, based on the nature of the considered alternatives.…”

This study investigates an extended version of the combined compromise solution method with grey numbers, named CoCoSo-G for short, to measure the performance of suppliers in a construction company in Madrid. Seven criteria from a relevant previous study are the basis for assessing the performance of suppliers, while ten suppliers are composing our decision matrix. To initiate the decision-making process, we invite experts to aid us in the qualitative evaluation of the suppliers using grey interval values. Two weighting methods, including the DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) and BWM (best worst method) are used to achieve the importance of supplier criteria in a combined manner. The DEMATEL method is used to realise the best and worst criteria, and the BWM is used to sort the criteria according to a linear programming formulation. The CoCoSo-G method used to release the score of each supplier and rank them. We compare the results obtained by the CoCoSo-G with those obtained by the Complex Proportional Assessment method. It is evident that offering grey values for supplier qualification, using the combined weighting tool and proposing the new CoCoSo-G approach facilitate the evaluation process while indicating trustable outcomes.
