Interval neutrosophic sets (INSs), characterized by truth, indeterminacy and falsity membership degrees, handle the uncertain and inconsistent information that commonly exists in real-life systems, and constitute an extension of the interval valued fuzzy set and interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy set. The existing works on similarity measures for INSs are mostly constructed by distance measures and entropies. Meanwhile, the degree of similarity is expressed as a single number, even if the interval-valued information is considered. This may lead to a loss of interval-valued information. In order to cope with these issues, in this paper, we introduce a new approach to constructing the similarity measures for INSs using fuzzy equivalencies. First, based on fuzzy equivalencies and aggregation operators, the definition of interval-valued fuzzy equivalence is generalized to interval neutrosophic values. Then, based on the framework of INSs, we propose the definition and construction method of the similarity measure using the interval neutrosophic fuzzy equivalence. The similarity degree is expressed as an interval and could retain more information than ever before. In addition, according to practical situations, one can obtain different similarities by selecting the parameters in fuzzy equivalence. Due to the increase in edge computing, it is necessary to reasonably offload the client’s resource and assign them to the edge server to balance the resource usage. The Similarity measure is conductive to select and match the client and edge server. Finally, an illustrative example verifies that the proposed method can find a reasonable client and edge server, as well as effectiveness in the edge computing application. |
