Abstract

The comparison of Atanassov intuitionistic fuzzy sets (AIF-sets) is a topic that has been widely studied due to its several applications in image segmentation or decision making, among other fields. Divergences for AIF-sets (AIF-divergences) were introduced as an adequate measure of comparison for AIF-sets. This study investigates a family of AIF-divergences that satisfies a local property. Such a property allows us to compute the divergence between AIF-sets pointwise. A characterization of those AIF-divergences satisfying the local property is provided. Several interesting properties of local divergence are also discussed. Some applications of these AIF-divergences in pattern recognition and decision making illustrate their utility.
