Abstract

Fuzzy sets, as well as their extension intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS), are more effective and appealing tools for expressing quantitative complexity throughout the decision-making process, and they have gotten greater attention from researchers in recent years for new study directions. Keeping the advantages of IFS, this chapter proposes a novel information measure to measure the fuzziness of IFS known as entropy measure (EM). The various notable features of the proposed EM are also presented. EM is a very useful tool to determine the attribute's weight during the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) process. Therefore, in this chapter, the authors propose a new MADM approach by using the proposed EM where the attribute's weights are absolutely unknown. Finally, the proposed MADM methodology is applied to solve the real-life MADM examples. Comparative studies are also given to show the advantages of the proposed MADM methodology. The proposed MADM methodology can overcome the weaknesses of the existing MADM approaches.
