Abstract
Interval type-2 fuzzy similarity and inclusion measures have been widely studied. In this paper, the axiomatic definitions of general type-2 fuzzy similarity and inclusion measures are given on the basis of interval type-2 fuzzy similarity and inclusion measures. To improve the shortcomings of the existing general type-2 fuzzy similarity and inclusion measures, we define two new general type-2 fuzzy similarity measures and two new general type-2 fuzzy inclusion measures based on $$\alpha $$ ? -plane representation theory, respectively, and discuss their related properties. Unlike some existing measures, one of the proposed similarity and inclusion measures are expressed as type-1 fuzzy sets, and therefore these definitions are consistent with the highly uncertain nature of general type-2 fuzzy sets. The theoretical proof is also given to illustrate that the proposed measures are natural extensions of the most popular type-1 fuzzy measures. In the end, the performances of the proposed similarity and inclusion measures are examined.
