Abstract: In this paper, the concept of 2-tuple probability weight is presented, and on this basis, the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method in Pythagorean fuzzy environment is given. First, the definition of 2-tuple probability weight is put forward, and two examples are provided to illustrate that 2-tuple probability weight can effectively prevent the loss of information. Second, the notion of real-value 2-tuple is defined for any two real numbers, and some basic operations, operation properties, and sorting functions are introduced. Finally, a 2-tuple probability weight Euclidean distance is provided, a new Pythagorean fuzzy TOPSIS method is further proposed, and the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods are illustrated by an example and two comparative analyses.
