Cross-Entropy of Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Sets for Multiple Attribute Decision-Making

Author(s):

This paper proposes a cross-entropy measure between dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs) as an extension of the cross-entropy measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Then the cross-entropy measure between DHFSs is applied to multiple attribute decision making under dual hesitant fuzzy environments. Through the weighted cross-entropy measure between each alternative and the ideal alternative, we can obtain the ranking order of all alternatives and the best one. The decision-making method based on the cross-entropy measure of DHFSs can deal with dual hesitant fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems and can automatically take into account much more information than existing hesitant (or intuitionistic) fuzzy decision-making methods and the differences of the evaluation data given by different experts or decision makers. Finally, a practical example about investment alternatives is given to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the developed approach.

This paper identifies four variables to reveal the internal mechanisms of the entropy measures on intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). First, four variables are used to propose a pair of generalized entropy measures on IFSs and IVIFSs. Second, three specific entropy measures are put forward to illustrate the effectiveness of the generalized entropy measure functions. Third, a novel multiple attribute decision-making approach under an intuitionistic fuzzy environment is proposed. The superiority of the decision-making approach is that the weight values of the attributes are obtained by their related entropy measures. Finally, the performance of the proposed entropy regulations on IFSs and IVIFSs is illustrated through a mode assessment example on open communities.

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making problems with picture fuzzy information. The advantage of picture fuzzy set is easily reflecting the ambiguous nature of subjective judgments because the picture fuzzy sets are suitable for capturing imprecise, uncertain, and inconsistent information in the multiple attribute decision making analysis. Thus, the cross entropy of picture fuzzy sets, called picture fuzzy cross entropy, is proposed as an extension of the cross entropy of fuzzy sets. Then, a multiple attribute decision making method based on the proposed picture fuzzy cross entropy is established in which attribute values for alternatives are picture fuzzy numbers. In decision making process, we utilize the picture fuzzy weighted cross entropy between the ideal alternative and an alternative to rank the alternatives corresponding to the cross entropy values and to select the most desirable one(s). Finally, a practical example for enterprise resource planning system selection is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
