A Single-valued Pentagonal Neutrosophic Geometric Programming Approach to Optimize Decision Maker’s Satisfaction Level


Book Description

Achieving the desired level of satisfaction for a decision-maker in any decision-making scenario is considered a challenging endeavor because minor modifications in the process might lead to incorrect findings and inaccurate decisions. In order to maximize the decision-maker’s satisfaction, this paper proposes a Single-valued Neutrosophic Geometric Programming model based on pentagonal fuzzy numbers. The decision-maker is typically assumed to be certain of the parameters, but in reality, this is not the case, hence the parameters are presented as neutrosophic fuzzy values. The decision-maker, with this strategy, is able to achieve varying levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction for each constraint and even complete satisfaction for certain constraints. Here the decision maker aims to achieve the maximum level of satisfaction while maintaining the level of hesitation and minimizing dissatisfaction in order to retain an optimum solution. Furthermore, transforming the objective function into a constraint adds one more layer to the N-dimensional multi-parametrizes α, β and γ. The advantages of this multi-parametrized proposed method over the existing ones are proven using numerical examples.







Different Forms of Triangular Neutrosophic Numbers, De-Neutrosophication Techniques, and their Applications


Book Description

In this paper, we introduce the concept of neutrosophic number from different viewpoints. We define different types of linear and non-linear generalized triangular neutrosophic numbers which are very important for uncertainty theory. We introduced the de-neutrosophication concept for neutrosophic number for triangular neutrosophic numbers. This concept helps us to convert a neutrosophic number into a crisp number. The concepts are followed by two application, namely in imprecise project evaluation review technique and route selection problem.

Some properties of Pentagonal Neutrosophic Numbers and its Applications in Transportation Problem Environment


Book Description

In this research article we actually deals with the conception of pentagonal Neutrosophic number from a different frame of reference. Recently, neutrosophic set theory and its extensive properties have given different dimensions for researchers. This paper focuses on pentagonal neutrosophic numbers and its distinct properties. At the same time, we defined the disjunctive cases of this number whenever the truthiness, falsity and hesitation portion are dependent and independent to each other. Some basic properties of pentagonal neutrosophic numbers with its logical score and accuracy function is introduced in this paper with its application in real life operation research problem which is more reliable than the other methods.




De-Neutrosophication Technique of Pentagonal Neutrosophic Number and Application in Minimal Spanning Tree


Book Description

In this current era, neutrosophic set theory is a crucial topic to demonstrate the ambiguous information due to existence of three disjunctive components appears in it and it provides a wide range of applications in distinct fields for the researchers. Generally, neutrosophic sets is the extended version of crisp set, fuzzy set and intuitionistic fuzzy sets to focus on the uncertain, hesitant and ambiguous datas of a real life mathematical problem.




Inclusion of Uncertainty with Different Types Of Fuzzy Numbers into DEMATEL


Book Description

Nowadays the multi-criteria decision making is very complicated due to uncertainty, vagueness, limited sources, knowledge and time. The Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method is a widely used multi-criteria decision-making method to analyze the structure of a complex system. It is useful in analysing the cause and effect relationships between the components of the system. Fuzzy sets can be used to include uncertainty in multi-criteria decision making. Linguistic assessments of decision makers can be translated into fuzzy numbers. In this study, fuzzy numbers, intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and neutrosophic fuzzy numbers were used for the decision makers evaluations in the DEMATEL method. The aim of this study was to evaluate how different types of fuzzy numbers affect the final results. An application of risk in construction projects was selected from the literature, where seven experts used a linguistic scale to evaluate different criteria. The results showed that there are only slight differences between the weights of the criteria with regard to the type of fuzzy numbers.
