Abstract

This paper introduces the notion of refined Pythagorean fuzzy superhypergraphs ($\textnormal{RPFS}$) as a mathematical model for clustering complex data under uncertainty. We define a fundamental relation $\beta$ on an RPFS and prove that its quotient is a Pythagorean fuzzy graph ($\textnormal{PFG}$). We also prove that every $\textnormal{PFG}$ can be embedded in an $\textnormal{RPFS}$, and any $\textnormal{RPFS}$ is a quotientable $\textnormal{PFG}$. A combinatorial formula is proven for the number of distinct $\textnormal{RPFS}$s on any given set and for complete-based $\textnormal{PFG}$s. This study presents the link-degree and superedge-degree points and investigates the relation of link-degree in fundamental $\textnormal{PFG}$ and superedge-degree in any related $\textnormal{RPFS}$. Furthermore, it is analyzed that the direct product of two $\textnormal{RPFS}$s is again an $\textnormal{RPFS}$, and its quotient equals the direct product of their quotients. In the categorical property, it is established that the set of all $\textnormal{RPFS}$s forms a commutative monoid under the direct product operation. Finally, we considered the relation between fuzzy data clustering and RPFS, and clustered, modeled, and combined some real-world problems via RPFS and the concept of its direct product.
