Abstract
In this paper, we introduce an axiomatic definition of entropy for multiaspect fuzzy soft sets (MAFSS). An entropy measure based on the definition is established and the properties are investigated. The entropy is then used to derive an entropy weight formulation. The entropy weight can be applied in aggregating a collection of MAFSSs which are particularly useful in the context of group decision making under MAFSS environment.
