Abstract: The knowledge measure or uncertainty measure for constructing interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets has attracted much attention. However, many uncertainty measures are measured by the entropy of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which cannot adequately reflect the knowledge of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper, we not only extend the axiomatic definition of the knowledge measure of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set to a more general level but also establish a new knowledge measure function complying with the distance function combined with the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Further, we investigate the properties of the proposed knowledge measure based on mathematical analysis and numerical examples. In addition, we create the entropy function by calculating the distance from the interval-valued fuzzy set to the most fuzzy point and prove that it satisfies the axiomatic definition. Finally, the proposed entropy is applied to the multi-attribute group decision-making problem with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed entropy measure.
