Picture Fuzzy Interactional Bonferroni Mean Operators via Strict Triangular Norms and Applications to Multi-Criteria Decision Making

Based on the closed operational laws in picture fuzzy numbers and strict triangular norms, we extend the Bonferroni mean (BM) operator under the picture fuzzy environment to propose the picture fuzzy interactional Bonferroni mean (PFIBM), picture fuzzy interactional weighted Bonferroni mean (PFIWBM), and picture fuzzy interactional normalized weighted Bonferroni mean (PFINWBM) operators. We prove the monotonicity, idempotency, boundedness, and commutativity for the PFIBM and PFINWBM operators. We also establish a novel multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method under the picture fuzzy environment by applying the PFINWBM operator. Furthermore, we apply our MCDM method to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems selection. The comparative results for our MCDM method induced by six classes of well-known triangular norms ensure that the best selection is always the same ERP system. Therefore, our MCDM method is effective for dealing with the picture fuzzy MCDM problems.
