Abstract
Decision-making is one of the most crucial processes to find the best optimal among the distinct attributes in an uncertain environment. However, considering more than one attribute simultaneously during the process is well handled by the Bonferroni mean operator. In this paper, we present a decision-making algorithm to solve the multi-attribute decision-making process by utilizing the features of the Archimedean Bonferroni mean operator. The advantages of the ABM are to consider the inter-relationship factors using the parameters and the operations using the t-norm and t-conorm. The uncertainty presented in the data is handled with the help of the complex Pythagorean fuzzy information. Also, we stated the more generalized aggregation operators to aggregate the different information and investigated their properties. The performance of the indicated algorithm is explained through a numerical example and compares its performance with the existing studies. The results show that our approach performs well over the current methods. A decision-maker can select a more practical alternative by varying the algorithm's parameters.
