Abstract
This paper introduces the definition of generalized complex vague soft set as the extension to complex vague soft set . Based on this new definition we present and discuss some related concepts as well as some basic operations like the complement, union, intersection, AND and OR. We propose the axiomatic definitions of similarity measure, distance measure and entropy for generalized complex vague soft sets. Some examples are given to show how these measurement tools successfully work. Furthermore, the relationships among three kinds of measures are discussed.
