Abstract
Many of the current fuzzy sets based on intuitionistic fuzzy concepts suffer from different limitations. Different approaches towards that end in the form of scientific works have been introduced, and many other fuzzy sets were extended to address such limitations. In this study, the Cubic Pythagorean fuzzy sets (CPFS) are introduced as one of the proposed solutions and among the most powerful tools to address uncertainty, especially in complex and difficult situations by using both interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set to represent vagueness or ill-defined information. Considering all the merits of CPFS and its flexibility, this study aimed to integrate it with two profound multi-criteria decision-making methods. Fuzzy-weighted zero-inconsistency (FWZIC) and decision by opinion score method (FDOSM) are both extended based on CPFS, called CP-FWZIC and CP-FDOSM. Two methodological phases are performed in two phases. The first phase discusses all the necessary CP-FWZIC steps to determine the evaluation criteria weights, followed by alternatives ranking using CP-FDOSM. The second phase discusses a case study used in this research for sign language recognition systems. Finally, two methods were used to assess the extended multi-criteria decision-making methods, namely, systematic ranking assessment and sensitivity analysis. The assessment findings suggest that the ranking results are supported by both systematic ranking and high correlation results which were performed using different criteria weight-changing scenarios.
