Plithogenic sets introduced by Smarandache (2018) have disclosed new research vistas and this paper introduces the novel concept of plithogenic cognitive maps (PCM) and its applications in decision making. The new approach of defining instantaneous state neutrosophic vector with the confinement of indeterminacy to (0,1] is proposed to quantify the degree of indeterminacy. The resultant vector is obtained by applying instantaneous state vector through the connection matrix together with plithogenic operators comprising the contradiction degrees. The connection matrix is represented as fuzzy matrix and neutrosophic matrix and the resultant vector is determined by applying plithogenic fuzzy operators and plithogenic neutrosophic operators respectively. The obtained results are highly feasible in making the decision as it incorporates the contradiction degree of the conceptual nodes with respect to the dominant node. This research work will certainly pave the way for developing new approaches in decision making using PCM.

Business advances its business process in order to adapt to a constantly changing situation in economy and society. Analysis of buyers' burstiness assists in optimization of flow of business process in order to increase the profit. However, burstiness in quasi-group decision making in business settings has not attracted a lot of research efforts. The aim of the chapter is to explore the nature, origins, and impact of burstiness in quasi-group decision making in business settings underpinning implementation of an empirical study and elaboration of a new research question for further studies. The meaning of such key concepts as burstiness, mirror neurons, quasi-group, and decision making is studied. Moreover, the study demonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of business settings. The novel contribution of this manuscript is the newly defined research question on burstiness in quasi-group decision making in business settings. Directions of further research are proposed.

Picture fuzzy nano topological spaces is an extension of intuitionistic fuzzy nano topological spaces. Every decision in life ends with an answer such as yes or no, or true or false, but we have an another component called abstain, which we have not yet considered. This work is a gateway to study such a problem. This paper motivates an enquiry of the third component—abstain—in practical problems. The aim of this paper is to investigate the contemporary notion of picture fuzzy nano topological spaces and explore some of its properties. The stated properties are quantified with numerical data. Furthermore, an algorithm for Multiple Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) with an application regarding the file selection of building material under uncertainty by using picture fuzzy nano topological spaces is developed. As a practical problem, a comparison table is presented to show the difference between the novel concept and the existing methods.

AbstractTreatment with analogues of the SERCA-inhibitor Thapsigargin is a promising new approach for a wide variety of cancer entities. However, our previous studies on various tumor cells suggested resistance of SEC62 over-expressing tumors to this treatment. Therefore, we proposed the novel concept that e.g. lung-, prostate-, and thyroid-cancer patients should be tested for SEC62 over-expression, and developed a novel therapeutic strategy for a combinatorial treatment of SEC62 over-expressing tumors. The latter was based on the observations that treatment of SEC62 over-expressing tumor cells with SEC62-targeting siRNAs showed less resistance to Thapsigargin as well as a reduction in migratory potential and that the siRNA effects can be mimicked by the Calmodulin antagonist Trifluoperazine. Therefore, the combinatorial treatment of SEC62 over-expressing tumors was proposed to involve Thapsigargin and Trifluoperazine. Here, we addressed the impact of Thapsigargin and Trifluoperazine in separate and combined treatments of heterotopic tumors, induced by inoculation of human hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (FaDu)-cells into the mouse flank. Seeding of the tumor cells and/or their growth rate were significantly reduced by all three treatments, suggesting Trifluoperazine is a small molecule to be considered for future therapeutic strategies for patients, suffering from Sec62-overproducing tumors.

This article describes how Smarandache defined neutrosophic sets to handle problems involving incomplete, indeterminacy and awareness of inconsistency knowledge, and is further developed to neutrosophic soft expert sets by Sahin et al. Adam and Hassan defined multi Q-fuzzy soft sets as an extension to fuzzy soft sets and gave its applications. This article will extend this further by presenting a novel concept of Q-neutrosophic soft expert sets, and define the associated related concepts and basic operations of complement, subset, union, intersection, AND and OR. This novel concept enables the single dimensionality of soft expert sets to be extended to two dimensions. Then, this article constructs an algorithm based on this concept. The following will illustrate the feasibility of the new method by an example. Finally, a comparison of the proposed method to existing methods is furnished to verify the effectiveness of the novel concept.

The objective of this paper is put forward the novel concept of possibility fuzzy soft ideals and the possibility of fuzzy soft interior ideals. The various results in the form of the theorems with these notions are presented and further validated by suitable examples. In modern life decision-making problems, there is a wide applicability of the possibility fuzzy soft ordered semigroup which has also been constructed in the paper to solve the decision-making process. Elementary and fundamental concepts including regular, intra-regular and simple ordered semigroups in terms of possibility fuzzy soft ordered semigroup are presented. Later, the concept of left (resp. right) regular and left (resp. right) simple in terms of possibility fuzzy soft ordered semigroups are delivered. Finally, the notion of possibility fuzzy soft semiprime ideals in an ordered semigroup is defined and illustrated by theorems and example.

 A cubic bipolar fuzzy set (CBFS) is a new approach in computational intelligence and decision-making under uncertainty. This model is the generalization of bipolar fuzzy sets to deal with two-sided contrasting features which can describe the information with a bipolar fuzzy number and an interval-valued bipolar fuzzy number simultaneously. In this paper, the Dombi’s operations are analyzed for information aggregation of cubic bipolar fuzzy numbers (CBFNs). The Dombi’s operations carry the advantage of more pliability and reliability due to the existence of their operational parameters. Owing to the pliable nature of Dombi’s operators, this research work introduces new aggregation operators named as cubic bipolar fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging (CBFDWA) operator and cubic bipolar fuzzy Dombi ordered weighted averaging (CBFDOWA) operator with ℙ -order and ℝ -order, respectively. Additionally, this paper presents some significant characteristics of suggested operators including, idempotency, boundedness and monotonicity. Moreover, a robust multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique is developed by using ℙ -CBFDWA and ℝ -CBFDWA operators. Based on the suggested operators a practical application is demonstrated towards MCDM under uncertainty. The comparison analysis of suggested Dombi’s operators with existing operators is also given to discuss the rationality, efficiency and applicability of these operators.

With the rapid outbreak of COVID-19, most people are facing antivirus mask shortages. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably select antivirus masks and optimize the use of them for everyone. However, the uncertainty of the effects of COVID-19 and limits of human cognition add to the difficulty for decision makers to perfectly realize the purpose. To maximize the utility of the antivirus mask, we proposed a decision support algorithm based on the novel concept of the spherical normal fuzzy (SpNoF) set. In it, firstly, we analyzed the new score and accuracy function, improved operational rules, and their properties. Then, in line with these operations, we developed the SpNoF Bonferroni mean operator and the weighted Bonferroni mean operator, some properties of which are also examined. Furthermore, we established a multi-criteria decision-making method, based on the proposed operators, with SpNoF information. Finally, a numerical example on antivirus mask selection over the COVID-19 pandemic was given to verify the practicability of the proposed method, which the sensitive and comparative analysis was based on and was conducted to demonstrate the availability and superiority of our method.

Fuzzy hypergraphs plays a pivotal role in reaching concrete resolutions at times when the circumstances of making decisions is characterized by uncertainty. Decision making is an integrated process involving the dominance of cognition in the nature of decision making environment and the associated factors. The process of making managerial decisions centres on state of affairs, which can be tackled with the formulation of Concentric Fuzzy Hypergraph, an extended concept of fuzzy hypergraph to arrive at compatible and feasible pronouncements. The notion of Concentric Fuzzy Hypergraph is introduced and a comprehensive decision making model with the integration of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps is proposed. This research work outlines the conceptual framework of Concentric Fuzzy hypergraph and presents a comparative analysis of concentric fuzzy hypergraphic approach with Fuzzy Cognitive maps over fuzzy hypergraphic approach to justify the efficiency of the former. The idea of concentric fuzzy hypergraph will certainly open new vistas in the field of decision making

AbstractComplex fuzzy N-soft set (CFN-SS) is an important technique to manage awkward and unreliable information in realistic decision-making problems. CFN-SS is a blend of two separate theories, called N-soft sets (N-SSs) and complex fuzzy sets (CFSs), which are the modified versions of soft sets (SSs) and fuzzy sets (FSs) to depict vague and uncertain information in daily life problems. In this manuscript, the novel concept of CFN-SS is explored and their fundamental laws are discussed. CFN-SS contains the grade of truth in the form of a complex number whose real and imaginary parts are limited to the unit interval. Besides, we examine some algebraic properties for CFN-SS like union, intersections and justify these properties with the help of some numerical examples. To examine the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed approaches, the special cases of the investigated approaches are also discussed. A decision-making procedure is developed by using the investigated ideas based on CFN-SSs. Further, some numerical examples are also illustrated with the help of explored ideas to find the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Finally, the comparative analysis of the investigated ideas with some existing ideas is also demonstrated to prove the quality of the proposed works. The graphical expressions of the obtained results are also discussed.
