In this paper, a novel attributes reduction algorithm of intuitionistic fuzzy-valued information system was proposed: firstly the proximity function between two objects under one attribute was defined then the proximity matrix of every attribute was calculated. The discernibility matrix of intuitionistic fuzzy -valued information system was defined and the reduction theorem was then given. The transitive closure of discernibility matrix was got by square method of fuzzy cluster and then the equivalent matrix of all attributes was also calculat...
