Abstract

Similarity measure is an important tool in multiple criteria decision-making problems, which can be used to measure the difference between the alternatives. In this paper, some new similarity measures of Spherical Fuzzy Sets (SFS) are defined based on the Euclidean distance measure and the proposed similarity measures satisfy the axiom of the similarity measure. Furthermore, we apply the proposed similarity measures to medical diagnosis decision making problem; the numerical example is used to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed similarity measures of SFS, which are then compared to other existing similarity measures.
