As an extension of fuzzy sets, the interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (IVq-ROFSs) is a powerful tool for dealing with uncertainty problems. Furthermore, fuzzy entropy is a crucial indicator to measure the fuzzy degree of fuzzy sets. However, the current fuzzy entropy of IVq-ROFSs have some disadvantages. First, for some interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (IVq-ROFNs), the existing fuzzy entropy cannot accurately measure the fuzzy degree. Second, it is not a reasonable method to utilize exact values as fuzzy entropy in the form of interval values. In this paper, the fuzzy entropy of IVq-ROFSs is characterized by interval values. The axiomatic definitions of IVq-ROFSs fuzzy entropy is given. Strict mathematical proof and a numerical example verify that the proposed axiomatic definition of fuzzy entropy is complete and avoids the loss of interval-valued fuzzy information. © 2023 The authors and IOS Press.
