Description

Role of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) in solving multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem has been established by many researchers. Depending upon the situation, we need different types of entropies based on IFSs. In this paper, we have proposed a new two parametric intuitionistic fuzzy entropy in the settings of IFSs theory. Besides proving some major properties, the proposed entropy is genuinely compared with some other existing entropies in literature. Based on the proposed entropy, a new method for solving MADM problems is introduced. Attribute weights play an eminent role in solving MADM problems. In this communication, two methods of determining the attribute weights are discussed. First is when information about attributes is completely unknown and second is when we have partial information regarding attribute weights. The two methods are effectively explained with the help of three examples. The attribute weights identification based on the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy entropy is offered in context of IFSs.
