In this paper, we propose to study similarity measures among fuzzy subsets from the point of view of the ranking relation they induce on object pairs. Using a classic method in measurement theory, introduced by Tversky, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a class of numerical similarity measures, to represent a given ordering relation, depending on the axioms this relation satisfies.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose to study similarity measures among fuzzy subsets from the point of view of the ranking relation they induce on object pairs. Using a classic method in measurement theory, introduced by Tversky, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a class of numerical similarity measures, to represent a given ordering relation, depending on the axioms this relation satisfies.
