Fuzzy entropy means the measurement of fuzziness in a fuzzy set and therefore plays a vital role in solving the fuzzy multicriteria decision making (MCDM) and multicriteria group decision making (MCGDM) problems. In this study, the notion of the measure of distance based entropy for uncertain information in the context of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) is introduced. The arithmetic and geometric average operators are firstly used to aggregate the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information provided by the decision makers (DMs) or experts corresponding to each alternative, and then the fuzzy entropy of each alternative is calculated based on proposed distance measure. Several numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the application to MCDM and MCGDM problems to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The intuitionistic fuzzy entropy (IFE) is being used to measure the degree of uncertainty of a fuzzy set (FS) with alarming accuracy and precision more accurately than the fuzzy set theory. Entropy plays a very important role in managing the complex issues efficiently which we often face in our daily life. In this paper, we first review several existing entropy measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and then suggest two new entropies of IFSs better than the existing ones. To show the efficiency of proposed entropy measures over existing ones, we conduct a numerical comparison analysis. Our entropy methods are not only showing better performance but also handle those IFSs amicably which the existing method fails to manage. To show the practical applicability and reliability, we utilize our methods to build intuitionistic fuzzy Portuguese of interactive and multicriteria decision making (IF-TODIM) method. The numerical results show that the suggested entropies are convenient and reasonable in handling vague and ambiguous information close to daily life matters.

Correlation coefficient of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IFS), Interval valued IFS, Triangular IFS and Trapezoidal IFS are already present in the literature. This paper proposes the correlation coefficient for Triangular Fuzzy Intuitionistic Fuzzy set (TrFIFS). The method on uncertain Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems based on aggregating intuitionistic fuzzy information is investigated for TrFIFSs. The Triangular Fuzzy Intuitionistic Fuzzy Ordered Weighted Averaging (TrFIFOWA) operator is proposed for TrFIFSs and the Triangular Fuzzy Intuitionistic Fuzzy Ordered Weighted Geometric (TrFIFOWG) operator is utilized for decision making models where expert weights are completely unknown. Based on these operators and the correlation coefficient defined for the TrFIFSs, new decision making models are proposed with numerical illustrations. Some comparisons are also made with existing ranking methods for validity.

This work is interested in showing the importance of possibility theory in multicriteria decision making (MCDM). Thus, we apply some possibility measures from literature to the MCDM method using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). These measures are applied to a decision matrix after being transformed with aggregation operators. The results are compared between each other and concluding remarks are drawn.
