Abstract Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), including member and nonmember functions, have many applications in managing uncertain information. The similarity measures of IFSs proposed to represent the similarity between different types of sensitive fuzzy information. However, some existing similarity measures do not meet the axioms of similarity. Moreover, in some cases, they could not be applied appropriately. In this study, we proposed some novel similarity measures of IFSs constructed by combining the exponential function of membership functions and the negative function of non-membership functions. In this paper, we also proposed a new entropy measure as a stepping stone to calculate the weights of the criteria in the proposed multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model. The similarity measures used to rank alternatives in the model. Finally, we used this MCDM model to evaluate the quality of software projects.

As a generation of ordinary fuzzy set, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), characterized both by a membership degree and by a nonmembership degree, is a more flexible way to cope with the uncertainty. Similarity measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used to indicate the similarity degree between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Although many similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been proposed in previous studies, some of those cannot satisfy the axioms of similarity or provide counterintuitive cases. In this paper, a new similarity measure and weighted similarity measure between IFSs are proposed. It proves that the proposed similarity measures satisfy the properties of the axiomatic definition for similarity measures. Comparison between the previous similarity measures and the proposed similarity measure indicates that the proposed similarity measure does not provide any counterintuitive cases. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed similarity measure is capable of discriminating difference between patterns.

The selection of the target market plays vital role in promoting the marketing strategies of companies. We presented is a method for target market selection. We introduce some novel similarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the novel similarity measures between interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. They are constructed by combining exponential and other functions. Finally, we introduce a multi-criteria decision making model to select target market by using the novel similarity measure of interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
