Abstract

Based on entropy and similarity measure of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a novel approach is proposed to determine weights of the IFOWA operator in this paper. Then, an intuitionistic fuzzy dependent OWA (IFDOWA) operator is defined and applied to handling multi-attribute group decision making problem with intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the rationality and validity of the proposed approach.
