Abstract
Similarity measure is a very important topic in fuzzy set theory. Torra proposed the notion of hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) which is a generalization of the notion of Zadeh’ fuzzy set. In this paper, a hesitant fuzzy quasi subset is first defined. Moreover, the modified axiom definitions of distance and similarity measures for HFSs are given and some novel distance and similarity measures for HFSs are developed. Based on the proposed similarity measures, a method of multiple attribute decision making (MADM) under hesitant fuzzy environment is established. Additionally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the application of the proposed similarity measures of HFSs in multiple attribute decision making.
