Abstract

Abstract : In this study, we highlight the errors in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 3, and 4 in the article by Fahmi et al. (J Ambient Intell Human Comput (2020). https://doi.org/10.1007/s12652-020-02272-9) by counter definitions and theorems. We find that the definition of cubic Pythagorean fuzzy set (CPFS) (Definition 2.3.1) and operational laws (Definition 2.3.2) violates the rules to consider the membership and nonmembership functions, and then, we redefined the corrected definition and their operations for CPFS. Furthermore, we redefine the concept of cubic Pythagorean linguistic fuzzy set (CPLFS) and their basic operational laws. In addition, we find that Sections 3 and 4 (consist of a list of Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) and dual MSM aggregation operators) are invalid, and then, we redefined the list of updated MSM and dual MSM aggregation operators in correct way. Finally, we established the numerical application of the proposed improved algorithm using cubic Pythagorean linguistic fuzzy information to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed technique.
