The Pythagorean fuzzy set, as a new extension of intuitionistic fuzzy set, has recently been developed to manage the complex uncertainty in practical group decision problems. The purpose of this article is to develop a new decision method based on similarity measure to address multiple criteria group decision making problems within Pythagorean fuzzy environment based on Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (PFNs). The contribution of this article is fivefold: (1) An accuracy function of PFNs is defined and a new ranking method for PFNs is proposed; (2) new Pythagorean fuzzy aggregating operators are developed; (3) a novel similarity measure for PFNs is presented, and some desirable properties are discussed; (4) a simple and effective Pythagorean fuzzy group decision method is introduced; and (5) The proposed method is applied to address the selection problem of photovoltaic cells.
