Abstract

Entropy measures play an important role in the field of fuzzy set theory and generalized by various authors for different purposes. In the present communication, intuitionistic fuzzy entropy measure based on sine function is developed. Further, the modified intuitionistic fuzzy PROMETHEE (IF-PROMETHEE) technique for multi-criteria decision making problems is discussed with the help of proposed entropy measure and the intuitionistic fuzzy preferences. Finally, the effectiveness of the technique is illustrated through a problem of selection of the antiretroviral drugs for HIV/AIDS to reduce the infection of HIV.
