Abstract
This paper introduces a novel distance measure for dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFS) and weighted dual hesitant fuzzy sets (WDHFS), with a rigorous proof of the triangular inequality to ensure its mathematical validity. The proposed measure extends the normalized Hamming, generalized, and Euclidean distance measures to dual hesitant fuzzy elements (DHFE), offering a broader framework for handling uncertainty in fuzzy environments. Additionally, the utilization of a score function is shown to simplify the computation of these distance measures. The practical relevance of the proposed measure is demonstrated through its application in medical diagnosis and decision-making processes. A comparative analysis between the newly introduced distance measure denoted as ?, and an existing measure, ?1 is performed to underscore the superiority and potential advantages of the new approach in real-world scenarios. ?
