Some new similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy sets and their applications in multiple attribute decision making

Abstract

Similarity measure is a very important topic in fuzzy set theory. Torra (2010) proposed the notion of hesitant fuzzy set(HFS), which is a generalization of the notion of Zadeh' fuzzy set. In this paper, some new similarity measures for HFSs are developed. Based on the proposed similarity measures, a method of multiple attribute decision making under hesitant fuzzy environment is also introduced. Additionally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the application of the proposed similarity measures of HFSs to decision-making.
