Based on the axiom de nition of distance measure, some new formulas of fuzzy entropy induced by distance measure and some new properties of distance measure are given. A characterization of a -distance measure is a metric de ned on all fuzzy sets is obtained. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A b s t r a c t . Numerous authors have proposed functions to quantify the degree of similarity between two fuzzy numbers using various descriptive parameters, such as the geometric distance, the distance between the centers of gravity or the perimeter. However, these similarity functions have drawbacks for specific situations. We propose a new similarity measure for generalized trapezoidal fuz...

Ranking of intuitionsitic fuzzy number plays a vital role in decision making and other intuitionistic fuzzy applications. In this paper, we propose a new ranking method of intuitionistic fuzzy number based on distance measure. We first define a distance measure for interval numbers based on Lp metric and further generalize the idea for intuitionistic fuzzy number by forming interval with their ...

In this paper, we first of all define the distance measure entitled generalized Hausdorff distance between two trapezoidal generalized fuzzy numbers (TGFNs) that has been introduced by Chen [10]. Then using a other distance and combining with generalized Hausdorff distance, we define the similarity measure. The basic properties of the above mentioned similarity measure are proved in detail. Fin...

In this work, the axiomatical definition of similarity measure, distance measure and inclusion measure for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IV IFSSs) are given. An axiomatical definition of entropy measure for IV IFSSs based on distance is firstly proposed, which is consistent with the axiomatical definition of fuzzy entropy of fuzzy sets introduced by De Luca and Termini. By diff...

We propose a new similarity measure for interval-valued fuzzy sets and show its usefulness in medical diagnostic reasoning. We point out advantages of this new concept over the most commonly used similarity measures which are the counterparts of distances. The measure we propose involves both similarity and dissimilarity.

The performance of Data partitioning using machine learning techniques is calculated only with distance measures i.e similarity between the transactions is carried out with the help of distance measurement algorithms such as Euclidian distance measure and cosine distance measure. The distance with connectivity (DWC) model is used to estimate distance between transactions with local consistency ...

A new concept of the inclusion measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets is proposed by the axiomatic definition. Also, the distance measures, similarity measures and information entropy are recalled and summarized. Most of important, some relationships among distance measure, information entropy, and inclusion measure of IFSs are then investigated. Finally, we obtain some important theorems by whi...
