Abstract

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment is appropriate for most of the practical scenarios involving uncertainty, vagueness, and insufficient information. Entropy, similarity, distance, inclusion, and cross entropy measures are a few methods used for measuring uncertainty and classifying fuzzy sets and its generalizations. Entropy of a fuzzy set describes fuzziness degree of the set and similarity measure measures similarity between two fuzzy or members of its extended family. This paper presents generalized entropy and similarity measures for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Further, the proposed similarity measure is compared with some existing measure of similarity with the help of an illustrative example, and a method is used to define optimal point using the existing information. Finally, entropy and similarity measures are used to identify best alternatives to solve multi-attribute decision making.
