In the literature, generalized three-dimensional spherical fuzzy sets have been introduced by Kutlu Gündoğdu and Kahraman (J Intell Fuzzy Syst 36(1):337–352, 2019a), including their arithmetic operations, aggregation operators, and defuzzification operations. In this paper, our aim is to extend classical analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to spherical fuzzy AHP (SF-AHP) method and to show its applicability and validity through a renewable energy location selection example and a comparative analysis between neutrosophic AHP and SF-AHP.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/AHPMulti-criteria decision makingNeutrosophic AHPSpherical Fuzzy SetsA novel spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and its renewable energy applicationArticle
