Abstract
A new strategy for solving multi-attribute decision-making problem has been presented by using different entropies and unknown attribute weights, where preferences related to the attributes are in the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Some generalized properties have also been proved for justification. An illustrative example has been provided to demonstrate and effectiveness the approach along with the sensitivity analysis on the decision-maker parameter.
