An Intuitionistic Fuzzy Metric and its Application in Varied Decision Making Approaches

Distance measures for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs) have been extensively studied from a theoretical perspective and successfully applied in various fields, such as pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, and multi-criteria decision-making. However, the literature highlights several shortcomings in these intuitionistic fuzzy distance measures. This paper proposes a novel distance measure for IFSs to address these limitations and fill the identified gaps. The proposed measure is tested through
