Abstract
This paper describes a generalized Diophantine fuzzy sets, which can be seen as a generalization of both Diophantine fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy sets. We define the basic properties of generalized Diophantine fuzzy set, as well as their relationships and distances. We compare Diophantine fuzzy sets with other Diophantine Pythagorean fuzzy sets to demonstrate their importance in the literature. We introduce new operators including necessity, possibility, accuracy function and score function. Furthermore, we discuss the new distance between normalized Euclidean distance and normalized Hamming distance. For a generalized Diophantine fuzzy relation, image and inverse image functions are defined. Numerous real-world applications can be found for the prevalent ideas of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, Diophantine fuzzy sets and q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets. Regretfully, these theories about the membership and non-membership grades have their own limits. We provide a new idea the generalized Diophantine fuzzy set that eliminates these limitations by including reference parameters. Compared to other kinds of fuzzy sets, there are more applications for generalized Diophantine fuzzy sets. We offer practical examples that show how different enhanced distances might be used in everyday situations. Additionally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested approach, flowchart based multi-criteria decision-making is provided and used to a numerical example. The outcomes are assessed for various parameter values. Furthermore, a comparative analysis developed to demonstrate the superiority of the suggested technique over current methodologies.
