Uncertainty measure on fuzzy partitions

Abstract

In this paper we face the problem of constructing the uncertainty (or perhaps expected information) of a fuzzy partition in terms of the crisp measures of its α-cuts. We solve the problem in the cases in which the measure is either compositive or branching.

    Based on fuzzy partition, Mesiar introduced a generalized fuzzy information entropy model [37]. Bertoluzza further discussed the uncertainty of the fuzzy partition [38]. Mi et al. put forward uncertainty measurement based on partition by using fuzzy rough theory [39].

    Information entropy, proposed by Shannon, is an effective and powerful mechanism for characterizing uncertainty information. In recent years, it has been applied in a wide range of fields [1,2,10–12,23,24]. Since Duntch and Gediga introduced information entropy into rough set theory and proposed three types of conditional entropies for predicting a decision attribute [8].

    One domain or multiple-domain: similarity and equivalence relations are all defined on a single domain, while general relations are constructed on two or more different domains. In the past literature related to fuzzy relations [1–9], most of them emphasized entropy, and put forward measures of fuzzy relations defined on a single domain with probability distribution preassigned. But the measurement of information content of fuzzy relations defined on multiple-domains without preassigned probability distribution is needed.
