Abstract

Our objective in this paper is to define and study the Rényi entropy and the Rényi divergence in the intuitionistic fuzzy case. We define the Rényi entropy of order of intuitionistic fuzzy experiments (which are modeled by IF-partitions) and its conditional version and we examine their properties. It is shown that the suggested concepts are consistent, in the case of the limit of q going to 1, with the Shannon entropy of IF-partitions. In addition, we introduce and study the concept of Rényi divergence in the intuitionistic fuzzy case. Specifically, relationships between the Rényi divergence and Kullback-Leibler divergence and between the Rényi divergence and the Rényi entropy in the intuitionistic fuzzy case are studied. The results are illustrated with several numerical examples.
