We present dynamic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (DIVIFS), which can improve the recognition accuracy when they are applied to pattern recognition. By analyzing the degree of hesitancy, we propose some DIVIFS models from intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) and interval-valued IFS (IVIFS). And then we present a novel ranking condition on the distance of IFS and IVIFS and introduce some distance measures of DIVIFS satisfying the ranking condition. Finally, a pattern recognition example applied to medical diagnosis decision making is given to demonstrate the application of DIVIFS and its distances. The simulation results show that the DIVIFS method is more comprehensive and flexible than the IFS method and the IVIFS method.

Linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets can qualitatively rather than quantitatively express data in the form of membership degree. But quantitative tools are required to handle qualitative information. Therefore, an improved linguistic scale function, which can more accurately manifest the subjective feelings of decision-makers, is employed to deal with linguistic intuitionistic information. Subsequently, due to some commonly used distance measures do not comprehensively evaluate the information of linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets, an improved distance measure of linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets is designed. It considers the cross-evaluation information to get more realistic reasoning results. In addition, a new similarity measure defined by nonlinear Gaussian diffusion model is proposed, which can provide different response scales for different information between various schemes. The properties of these measures are also studied in detail. On this basis, a method in linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy environment is developed to handle multi-attribute decision-making problems. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the influence of the parameters is analyzed.

The intuitionistic fuzzy set introduced by Atanassov has greater ability in depicting and handling uncertainty. Intuitionistic fuzzy measure is an important research area of intuitionistic fuzzy set theory. Distance measure and similarity measure are two complementary concepts quantifying the difference and closeness of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This paper addresses the definition of an effective distance measure with concise form and specific meaning for Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (AIFSs). A new distance measure for AIFSs is defined based on a distance measure of interval values and the transformation from AIFSs to interval valued fuzzy sets. The axiomatic properties of the new distance measure are mathematically investigated. Comparative analysis based in numerical examples indicates that the new distance measure is competent to quantify the difference between AIFSs. The application of the new distance measure is also discussed. A new method for multi-attribute decision making (MADM) is developed based on the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method and the new distance measure. Numerical applications indicate that the developed MADM method can obtain reasonable preference orders. This shows that the new distance measure is effective and rational from both mathematical and practical points of view.

Background: The notion of fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh. After that, many researchers extended the concept of fuzzy sets in different ways. Atanassov introduced the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets as an extension of fuzzy sets. This concept is applied in many fields such as bio-informatics, image processing, decision making, feature selection, pattern recognition etc. Objectives: The prime objective of this paper is to introduce a new generalized intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measure with proof of its validity and discussions on its elegant properties. Applications of the proposed divergence measure in multi-attribute decision making and pattern recognition are also discussed with some numerical illustrations. Further, the proposed divergence measure is compared with other methods for solving MADM and pattern recognition problems which exist in the literature. Methods: Divergence measure method is used to measure the divergence between two given sets. Also, the results of the other existing measures are also given to compare with the proposed measure. Results: We see that our proposed divergence measure found much better results in comparison with the other existing methods. Conclusion: A new divergence measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets is introduced with some of its properties. Applications of the proposed divergence measure to pattern recognition and MADM are illustrated through examples. The comparison of the proposed method with the existing methods shows the legacy of the results of the proposed method. It is concluded that the proposed divergence measure is effective for solving real world problems related to MADM and pattern recognition.
