Multiple attribute group decision-making method with single-valued neutrosophic interval number information

To describe decision makers’ judgments for an evaluated object more comprehensively in the decision-making process, this paper firstly defines the concept of a single-valued neutrosophic interval number (SVNIN), which is composed of both its interval number (interval judgment) and its single-valued neutrosophic number (SVNN) (confident degree). Then we present the basic operational laws of SVNINs and the score function of SVNIN based on the attitude index and confident level of decision makers to compare SVNINs. Next, we propose a single-valued neutrosophic interval number weighted arithmetic averaging (SVNINWAA) operator and a single-valued neutrosophic interval number weighted geometric averaging (SVNINWGA) operator to aggregate SVNIN information. Further, a multiple attribute group decision-making (MDGDM) method using the proposed SVNINWAA or SVNINWGA operator is established under an SVNIN environment. Finally, an illustrative example regarding the selection problem of global suppliers is presented to show the application and effectiveness of the developed method.     

Possibility-induced simplified neutrosophic aggregation operators and their application to multi-criteria group decision-making

Abstract

Simplified neutrosophic set (SNS) is an appropriate tool used to express the incompleteness, indeterminacy and uncertainty of the evaluation objects in decision-making process. In this study, we define the concept of possibility SNS including two types of information such as the neutrosophic performance provided from the evaluation objects and its possibility degree using a value ranging from zero to one. Then by extending the existing neutrosophic information, aggregation models for SNSs that cannot be used effectively to fusion the two different information described above, we propose two novel neutrosophic aggregation operators considering possibility, which are named as a possibility-induced simplified neutrosophic weighted arithmetic averaging operator and possibility-induced simplified neutrosophic weighted geometric averaging operator, and discuss their properties. Moreover, we develop a useful method based on the proposed aggregation operators for solving a multi-criteria group decision-making problem with the possibility simplified neutrosophic information, in which the weights of decision-makers and decision criteria are calculated based on entropy measure. Finally, a practical example is utilised to show the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Multicriteria decision-making method using the correlation coefficient under single-valued neutrosophic environment

The paper presents the correlation and correlation coefficient of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) based on the extension of the correlation of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and demonstrates that the cosine similarity measure is a special case of the correlation coefficient in SVNS. Then a decision-making method is proposed by the use of the weighted correlation coefficient or the weighted cosine similarity measure of SVNSs, in which the evaluation information for alternatives with respect to criteria is carried out by truth-membership degree, indeterminacy-membership degree, and falsity-membership degree under single-valued neutrosophic environment. We utilize the weighted correlation coefficient or the weighted cosine similarity measure between each alternative and the ideal alternative to rank the alternatives and to determine the best one(s). Finally, an illustrative example demonstrates the application of the proposed decision-making method.     

Data envelopment analysis with neutrosophic inputs and outputs

Since the recent appearance of neutrosophic theory as a generalization of fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy theories, many multicriteria decision methods have adopted this theory to deal with incomplete and indeterminate data. However, it has not yet been applied to the data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology. Therefore, this study presents a DEA model with triangular neutrosophic inputs and outputs that considers the truth, indeterminacy, and falsity degrees of each data value. As an alternative, a parametric approach based on what we term the variation degree of a triangular neutrosophic number is developed. This approach transforms a neutrosophic DEA model into an interval DEA model that can be solved using one of many existing techniques. Interval efficiency scores obtained from our numerical example show the flexibility and authenticity of the proposed approach.     

Fault Diagnoses of Hydraulic Turbine Using the Dimension Root Similarity Measure of Single-valued Neutrosophic Sets

This paper proposes a dimension root distance and its similarity measure of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs), and then develops the fault diagnosis method of hydraulic turbine by using the dimension root similarity measure of SVNSs. By the similarity measures between the fault diagnosis patterns and a testing sample with single-valued neutrosophic information and the relation indices, we can determine the main fault type and the ranking order of various vibration faults for predicting some possible fault trend. Then, the comparison of the fault diagnoses of hydraulic turbine based of the proposed dimension root similarity measure and the existing cotangent similarity measure of SVNSs is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed fault diagnosis method. The fault diagnosis results of hydraulic turbine show that the proposed fault diagnosis method not only gives the main fault types of hydraulic turbine, but also provides useful information for multifault analyses and future possible fault trends. The developed fault diagnosis method is effective and reasonable in the fault diagnosis of hydraulic turbine under single-valued neutrosophic environment.

Neutrosophic structured element

This paper presents a new concept in neutrosophic sets (NS) called neutrosophic structured element (NSE). Based on this concept, we define the operational laws, score function, and some aggregation operators of NS.
