The Generalized Dice Similarity Measures for Spherical Fuzzy Sets and Their Applications

Abstract

As the extension of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, Pythagorean fuzzy set, and picture fuzzy set, the spherical fuzzy set is characterized by three functions expressing the positive-membership degree, the neutral-membership degree and the negative-membership degree which the sum squares of them is equal or less than 1. In this work, we shall present some novel Dice similarity measures of spherical fuzzy sets and the generalized Dice similarity measures of spherical fuzzy sets and indicates that the Dice similarity measures and asymmetric measures (projection measures) are the special cases of the generalized Dice similarity measures in some parameter values. Then, we propose the generalized Dice similarity measures-based multiple attribute group decision making models with spherical fuzzy information. Then, we apply the generalized Dice similarity measures between spherical fuzzy sets to multiple attribute group decision making. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the similarity measures for selecting the desirable ERP system.
