Abstract

Entropy measure is a significant tool to define unclear information. But, entropy measures for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) cannot be easily understood intuitively. So, it is highly important to compare the existing measures to select a reliable entropy measure in studies. The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of different entropy measures developed for IVIFSs. The numerical examples are presented to show whether entropy measures for IVIFSs are effective in representing the fuzziness degree. In order to understand whether a variation of fuzziness degree of one or more elements of IVIFSs change the ranking results, selected IVIFSs are modified diversely.

Keywords
