Counterintuitive test problems for transformed fuzzy number-based similarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (Q2337993)

Summary: This paper analyzes the counterintuitive behaviors of transformed fuzzy number (FN)- based similarity measures between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). Among these transformed FN-based similarity measures, \textit{S.-M. Chen} and \textit{C.-H. Chang}'s similarity measure is a novel one [``A novel similarity measure between Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets based on transformation techniques with applications to pattern recognition'', Inf. Sci. 291, 96--114 (2015; \url{doi:10.1016/j.ins.2014.07.033})]. An algorithm of computing Chen and Chang's similarity measure is proposed. We analyze the counterintuitive behaviors of Chen and Chang's similarity measure for seven general test problems and four test problems with three inclusive IFSs. The results indicate that there are six counterintuitive test problems for Chen and Chang's similarity measure.
