Novel measures for linguistic hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy sets and improved TOPSIS method with application to contributions of system-of-systems

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel method was introduced to denote LHPFNs.

• The entropy measures & distance measures for LHPFSs were defined and proposed.

• A novel hierarchical TOPSIS method was proposed with presented measures.

• The hierarchical TOPSIS method was applied to the case of WSoS contribution.
