TL;DR: The primary goal of the study is to suggest the systematic transformation of information measures (distance measure, similarity measure, entropy, inclusion measure) for PFSs and to show the efficiency of the proposed similarity measure.
Abstract: Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), originally proposed by Yager, is more capable than intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) to handle vagueness in the real world. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the distance measure, the similarity measure, the entropy, and the inclusion measure for PFSs. The primary goal of the study is to suggest the systematic transformation of information measures (distance measure, similarity measure, entropy, inclusion measure) for PFSs. For achieving this goal, some new formulae for information measures of PFSs are introduced. To show the efficiency of the proposed similarity measure, we apply it to pattern recognition, clustering analysis, and medical diagnosis. Some illustrative examples are given to support the findings and also demonstrate their practicality and effectiveness of similarity measure between PFSs.

TL;DR: A separation theorem for convex fuzzy sets is proved without requiring that the fuzzy sets be disjoint.
Abstract: A fuzzy set is a class of objects with a continuum of grades of membership. Such a set is characterized by a membership (characteristic) function which assigns to each object a grade of membership ranging between zero and one. The notions of inclusion, union, intersection, complement, relation, convexity, etc., are extended to such sets, and various properties of these notions in the context of fuzzy sets are established. In particular, a separation theorem for convex fuzzy sets is proved without requiring that the fuzzy sets be disjoint.

TL;DR: Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.

TL;DR: In this chapter, the basic definitions and properties of the interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) will be introduced and the majority of the proofs below are analogous to the proofs from Chapter 1.
Abstract: In this chapter, the basic definitions and properties of the interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) will be introduced. We will omit the majority of the proofs below, which are, in general, analogous to the proofs from Chapter 1.
