A New Similarity Measure for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets

摘要

Although there exist many similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), most of them can not satisfy the axioms of similarity measure or provide reasonable results. In this paper, a review of existing similarity measures for IFSs and their drawbacks is carried out. Then a new similarity measure between IFSs on the base of their knowledge measures is proposed. A comprehensive analysis of the performance features of the proposed measure is conducted in a comparative example. Finally, the proposed similarity measure is employed in application to the turbine fault diagnosis. We point out that the new proposed similarity measure overcomes the drawbacks of the existing similarity measures and gives reliable results in real world application.
