Abstract: This paper presents two new concepts within the framework of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS). An implication deviation is introduced, formulated using the implication operator together with a universal quantifier in the framework of intuitionistic fuzzy set. In addition to being a crucial analytical tool, this measure emphasizes its theoretical significance in the study of intuitionistic fuzzy sets by making it easier to define basic notions like inclusion and similarity. In addition, the paper introduces two new entropy measures, referred to as the α-intuitionistic fuzzy entropy and the β-intuitionistic fuzzy entropy, to quantify uncertainty of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The α-intuitionistic fuzzy entropy evaluates uncertainty in terms of the deviation from the extreme situations of complete inclusion and complete exclusion. In contrast, the β-intuitionistic fuzzy entropy reflects maximum uncertainty when degrees of membership and non-membership are balanced or when the degree of hesitancy is maximal, while minimum entropy corresponds to the case, when complete inclusion or exclusion is there. Both entropy measures are constructed using the Hamming distance to ensure a consistent and intuitive representation of uncertainty.
