Abstract

In this paper, we mention and address the limitation of an existing conversion method of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) from fuzzy set (FS) and propose a novel conversion method for IFS from fuzzy set. To compare the proposed conversion method, we apply it on a TOPSIS method of MCDM problem in which criteria weights are determined using intuitionistic fuzzy entropy. We take a real example in this study to compare the ranking of four organizations of different sectors.
