Abstract

In this paper, at first, we develop some new geometric distance measures for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information, including the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric distance (IVIFWGD) measure, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric distance (IVIFOWGD) measure and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric distance (IVIFHWGD) measure. Also, several desirable properties of these new distance measures are studied and a numerical example is given to show application of the distance measure to pattern recognition problems. And then, based on the developed distance measures a consensus reaching process with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference information for group decision making is proposed. Finally, an illustrative example with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information is given.
