A New Generalized Fuzzy Divergence Measure and Applications

This paper introduces a new parametric generalized measure of fuzzy divergence with the proof of its validity. The particular cases are proved in the proposed generalized fuzzy divergence measure. In addition, the elegant properties are studied on the new generalized fuzzy divergence measure. A method to solve multi-criteria decision making problem is developed by using the proposed generalized fuzzy divergence measure. Finally, the applications of this fuzzy divergence measure to pattern recognition and multi-criteria decision making are shown using numerical examples for each.
