Picture Fuzzy TOPSIS Method Based on CPFRS Model: An Application to Risk Management Problems

Abstract

It is not widely acknowledged that multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in some particular circumstances cannot be effectively solved by some traditional methods. This paper aims to construct a novel decision-making method to effectively solve these MCDM problems. Firstly, we propose a covering-based picture fuzzy rough set (CPFRS) model by combining the picture fuzzy (PF) neighborhood operator and some PF logical operators. Secondly, by combining the proposed CPFRS model with the principle of TOPSIS method, a new method is proposed to solve the MCDM problems under PF environments. Finally, we apply our proposed method to the risk management of green buildings. By comparing the proposed method with some existing MCDM methods, the established method is effective and flexible and can be applied to a wide range of environments.
