Single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs), which involve in truth-membership, indeterminacy-membership and falsity-membership, play a significant role in describing the decision-makers’ preference information. In this study, a single-valued neutrosophic multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach is developed based on Shapley fuzzy measures and power aggregation operator that takes a correlative relationship among criteria into account and also simultaneously reduces the effects of abnormal preference information. Firstly, two aggregation operators, namely, generalized weighted single-valued neutrosophic power Shapley Choquet average (GWSVNPSCA) operator and generalized weighted single-valued neutrosophic power Shapley Choquet geometric (GWSVNPSCG) operator, are accordingly defined, and the corresponding properties are discussed as well. Secondly, based on the proposed aggregation operators, an integrated MCDM approach is proposed to effectively solve single-valued neutrosophic problems where the weight information is incompletely known. A programming model is constructed to obtain the optimal Shapley fuzzy measure. Next, the proposed operators are utilized to aggregate the decision-makers’ preference information. Finally, a theoretical example with tourism attraction selection is provided to examine the efficacy of the developed approach, in which the results is found reasonable and credible.

Neutrosophic Sets

Recently, neutrosophic sets are found to be more general and useful to express incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent information. The purpose of this paper is to introduce new aggregation operators based on logarithmic operations and to develop a multi-criteria decision-making approach to study the interaction between the input argument under the single valued neutrosophic (SVN) environment. The main advantage of the proposed operator is that it can deal with the situations of the positive interaction, negative interaction or non-interaction among the criteria, during decision-making process. In this paper, we also defined some logarithmic operational rules on SVN sets, then we propose the single valued neutrosophic hybrid aggregation operators as a tool for multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) under the neutrosophic environment and discussd some properties. Finally, the detailed decision-making steps for the single valued neutrosophic MCDM problems were developed, and a practical case was given to check the created approach and to illustrate its validity and superiority. Besides this, a systematic comparison analysis with other existent methods is conducted to reveal the advantages of our proposed method. Results indicate that the proposed method is suitable and effective for decision process to evaluate their best alternative.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the notion of Einstein aggregation operators, such as the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging aggregation operator and the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging aggregation operator. We also discuss some desirable properties, such as idempotency, boundedness, commutativity, and monotonicity. The main advantage of using the proposed operators is that these operators give a more complete view of the problem to the decision makers. These operators provide more accurate and precise results as compared the existing method. Finally, we apply these operators to deal with multiple-attribute group decision making under interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information. For this, we construct an algorithm for multiple-attribute group decision making. Lastly, we also construct a numerical example for multiple-attribute group decision making.

Novel Approach

In this paper, a novel approach and framework based on interval-dependent degree and probability distribution for multi-criteria decision-making problems with multi-valued neutrosophic sets (MVNSs) is proposed. First, a simplified dependent function and distribution function are given and integrated into a concise formula, which is called the interval-dependent function and contains interval computing and probability distribution information in an interval. Then a transformation operator is defined and it is shown how to convert MVNSs into an interval set. Subsequently, the interval-dependent function with the probability distribution of MVNSs is deduced. Finally, an example and comparative analysis are provided to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, uncertainty analysis, which reflects the dynamic change of the ranking result with decision-makers’ preferences, is performed by setting different distribution functions, which increases the reliability and accuracy of the proposed method.

Dynamic multi-criteria decision-making (DMCDM) models have many meaningful applications in real life in which solving indeterminacy of information in DMCDMs strengthens the potential application of DMCDM. This study introduces an extension of dynamic internal-valued neutrosophic sets namely generalized dynamic internal-valued neutrosophic sets. Based on this extension, we develop some operators and a TOPSIS method to deal with the change of both criteria, alternatives, and decision-makers by time. In addition, this study also applies the proposal model to a real application that facilitates ranking students according to attitude-skill-knowledge evaluation model. This application not only illustrates the correctness of the proposed model but also introduces its high potential appliance in the education domain.

Multi Attribute Decision Making

In recent decades, there has been a massive growth towards the prime interest of the hydrogen energy industry in automobile transportation fuel. Hydrogen is the most plentiful component and a perfect carrier of energy. Generally, evaluating a suitable hydrogen power plant site is a complex selection of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem concerning proper location assessment based on numerous essential criteria, the decision-makers expert opinion, and other qualitative/quantitative aspects. This paper presents the novel single-valued neutrosophic (SVN) multi-attribute decision-making method to help decision-makers choose the optimal hydrogen power plant site. At first, novel operating laws based on sine trigonometric function for single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) are introduced. The well-known sine trigonometry function preserves the periodicity and symmetric in nature about the origin, and therefore it satisfies the decision-maker preferences over the multi-time phase parameters. In conjunction with these properties and laws, we define several new aggregation operators (AOs), called SVN weighted averaging and geometric operators, to aggregate SVNSs. Subsequently, on the basis of the proposed AOs, we introduce decision-making technique for addressing multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems and provide a numerical illustration of the hydrogen power plant selection problem for validation. A detailed comparative analysis, including a sensitivity analysis, was carried out to improve the understanding and clarity of the proposed methodologies in view of the existing literature on MADM problems.

The aggregation operator is one of the most common techniques to solve multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. The aim of this paper is to propose an MCDM method based on the improved single-valued neutrosophic weighted geometric (ISVNWG) operator. First, the defects of several existing single-valued neutrosophic weighted geometric aggregation operators in terms of producing uncertain results in some special cases are analyzed. Second, an ISVNWG operator is proposed to avoid the defects of existing operators. Further, the properties of the proposed ISVNWG operator, including idempotency, boundedness, monotonicity, and commutativity, are discussed. Finally, a single-valued neutrosophic MCDM method based on the developed ISVNWG operator is proposed to overcome the defects of existing MCDM methods based on existing operators. Application examples demonstrate that our proposed operator and corresponding MCDM method are effective and rational for avoiding uncertain results in some special cases.

Consider the various types of uncertain preference information provided by the decision makers and the importance of determining the associated weights for the aggregation operator, the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) methods based on some dependent interval 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators are proposed in this paper. Firstly some operational laws and possibility degree of interval 2-tuple linguistic variables are introduced. Then, we develop a dependent interval 2-tuple weighted averaging (DITWA) operator and a dependent interval 2-tuple weighted geometric (DITWG) operator, in which the associated weights only depend on the aggregated interval 2-tuple arguments and can relieve the influence of unfair arguments on the aggregated results by assigning low weights to them. Based on the DITWA and the DITWG operators, some approaches for multiple attribute group decision making with interval 2-tuple linguistic information are proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Schweizer–Sklar (SS) operation can make information aggregation more flexible, and the Muirhead mean (MM) operator can take into account the correlation between inputs by a variable parameter. Because traditional MM is only available for real numbers and single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) can better express incomplete and uncertain information in decision systems, in this paper, we applied MM operators to single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and presented two new MM aggregation operators with the SS operation, i.e., a single-valued neutrosophic SS Muirhead mean (SVNSSMM) operator and a weighted single-valued neutrosophic SS MM (WSVNSSMM) operator. We listed some properties of them and some particular cases about various parameter values. We also proposed the multi-criteria decision-making method based on the WSVNSSMM operator in SVNS. At last, we illustrated the feasibility of this method using a numerical example of company investment.
