Picture Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications in Decision Making Problems provides methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of picture fuzzy operators, and their applications in scientific research and real-world engineering problems. Although fuzzy logic can be applied in a number of different areas, many researchers and developers are not yet familiar with how picture fuzzy operators can be applied to a variety of advanced decision-making problems. Picture fuzzy set is a more powerful tool than fuzzy set or intuitionistic fuzzy set to tackle uncertainty in a variety real-world modeling applications. Picture fuzzy set is actually the generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set, and intuitionistic fuzzy set is the generalization of fuzzy set. In this book, the picture fuzzy sets are investigated, and different types of operators are defined to solve a number of important decision making and optimization problems. The hybrid operator on picture fuzzy set based on the combination of picture fuzzy weighted averaging operators and picture fuzzy weighted geometric operators is developed and named Hybrid Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-PFWAG) operator. Another operator is developed for interval-valued picture fuzzy environment, which is named Hybrid Interval-Valued Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-IVPFWAG) operator. These two operators are then demonstrated as solutions to Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problems. The picture fuzzy soft weighted aggregation operators (averaging and geometric) are defined, and these are applied to develop a multi-criteria group decision making system. The Dombi operator in the picture fuzzy environment is then defined and applied to solve MADM problems. Based on the Dombi operator, several other operators are defined. These are the picture fuzzy Dombi aggregation operators, including picture fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging operator, picture fuzzy Dombi order weighted averaging operator, picture fuzzy Dombi hybrid averaging operator, picture fuzzy Dombi weighted geometric operator, picture fuzzy Dombi order weighted geometric operator, and picture fuzzy Dombi hybrid geometric operator. Each of these operators are used to solve MADM problems. An extension picture fuzzy set known as m-polar picture fuzzy set is proposed and investigated along with many properties of m-polar picture fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging and geometric operators; each of these operators are applied to MADM problems. Another extension of the picture fuzzy set is the interval-valued picture fuzzy uncertain linguistic environment. In this set, interval-valued picture fuzzy uncertain linguistic weighted averaging and geometric operators are developed, and interval-valued picture fuzzy uncertain linguistic Dombi weighted aggregation operators are utilized in the MADM process. In the complex picture fuzzy environment, the authors demonstrate some complex picture fuzzy weighted aggregation operators to be used in solving MADM problems. Another approach called MABAC with picture fuzzy numbers is studied and developed as a multi-attribute group decision making model. Furthermore, the picture fuzzy linear programming problem (PFLPP) is initiated, in which the parameters are picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs). The picture fuzzy optimization method is applied for solving the PFLPP. This concept is used to solve the picture fuzzy multi-objective programming problem (PFMOLPP) under the picture fuzzy environment. - Provides in-depth explanations of picture fuzzy logic and its application to computational modeling problems - Helps readers understand the difference between various fuzzy logic methods - Provides concepts used to develop and solve problems within the picture fuzzy environment
