Single-Valued Neutrosophic Power Shapley Choquet Average Operators and Their Applications to Multi-Criteria Decision-Making


Book Description

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.




Generalized Single-Valued Neutrosophic Power Aggregation Operators Based on Archimedean Copula and Co-Copula and Their Application to Multi-Attribute Decision-Making


Book Description

Single-valued neutrosophic set (SVN) can valid depict the incompleteness, nondeterminacy and inconsistency of evaluation opinion, and the Power average (PA) operator can take into account the correlation of multiple discussed data. Meanwhile, Archimedean copula and co-copula (ACC) can signicant generate operational laws based upon diverse copulas.




Aggregation Functions Considering Criteria Interrelationships in Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making: State-of-the-Art


Book Description

Aggregation function is an important component in an information aggregation or information fusion system. Interrelationships usually exist between the input arguments (e.g., the criteria in the multicriteria decision making) of an aggregation function. In this paper, we make a comprehensive survey on the aggregation operators (AOs) that consider the argument interrelationships in crisp and fuzzy settings. In particular, we discuss the mechanisms of modeling the argument interrelationships of the Choquet integral (CI), the power average (PA), the Bonferroni mean (BM), the Heronian mean (HM), and the Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operators, and introduce their extended (e.g., generalized or weighted) forms and their applications in different fuzzy sets. In addition, we compare these ve types of operators and summarize their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, we discuss the applications of these operators. Finally, we identify some future research directions in the AOs considering the argument interrelationships. The reviewed papers are mainly about the development of the CI, the PA, the BM, the HM, and the MSM in (fuzzy) MCDMs, most of which fall in the period of 20092018.

Induced Choquet Integral Aggregation Operators with Single-Valued Neutrosophic Uncertain Linguistic Numbers and Their Application in Multiple Attribute Group Decision-Making


Book Description

For real decision-making problems, aggregating the attributes which have interactive or correlated characteristics by traditional aggregation operators is unsuitable. Thus, applying Choquet integral operator to approximate and simulate human subjective decision-making process, in which independence among the input arguments is not necessarily assumed, would be suitable. Moreover, using single-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic sets (SVNULSs) can express the indeterminate, inconsistent, and incomplete information better than FSs and IFSs. In this paper, we studied the MAGDM problems with SVNULSs and proposed two single-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet integrate aggregation operators where the interactions phenomena among the attributes or the experts are considered. First, the definition, operational rules, and comparison method of single-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic numbers (SVNULNs) are introduced briefly. Second, induced single-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet ordered averaging (I-SVNULCA) operator and induced single-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet geometric (I-SVNULCG) operator are presented. Moreover, a few of its properties are discussed. Further, the procedure and algorithm of MAGDM based on the above single-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic Choquet integral operator are proposed. Finally, in the illustrative example, the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method would be demonstrated.

Book Description

In order to take into account quantitative and qualitative information in real complex decision making issue, a multiple-valued neutrosophic uncertain linguistic set (MVNULS) is initially proposed, which includes the uncertain linguistic part and the multiple-valued neutrosophic set (MVNS). Consequently, it has the advantages of them in expressing evaluation information.




Interval Neutrosophic Reducible Weighted Maclaurin Symmetric Means With Internet of Medical Things (IoMt) Industry Evaluation


Book Description

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a global infrastructure composing of plentiful applications and medical devices that are interconnected by ICT. In considering the problem of the IoMT industry evaluation, the requisite issue that concerns strong interaction and incertitude. The Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM), as a resultful information concordant instrument, can capture the interrelation among multiple arguments more efciently. The abundance of the weighted MSMs has been presented to manage the different uncertain information aggregation issues by reason that the attribute variables are frequently diverse. However, these existing weighted form of MSM operators fail to possess the fundamental properties of idempotency and reducibility. To solve the above issues, we explore the interval neutrosophic reducible weighted MSM (INRWMSM) operator and the interval neutrosophic reducible weighted dual MSM (INRWDMSM) operator. Moreover, momentous properties and some special cases of the INRWMSM and INRWDMSM operators are discussed in detail.




TODIM Method for Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making under 2-Tuple Linguistic Neutrosophic Environment


Book Description

In this article, we extend the original TODIM (Portuguese acronym for Interactive Multi-Criteria Decision Making) method to the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic fuzzy environment to propose the 2TLNNs TODIM method. In the extended method, we use 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers (2TLNNs) to present the criteria values in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems.




Hesitant Bipolar-valued Neutrosophic set: Formulation, Theory and Application


Book Description

This paper proposes a hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic set (HBVNS) based on the combination of bipolar neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets. The proposed set generalizes the notions of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, hesitant fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set, bipolar fuzzy set and bipolar neutrosophic set. Further, we define the basic operational laws, union, intersection and complement for hesitant bipolar -valued neutrosophic elements (HBVNEs) and study its associated properties. Some relevant examples are also given to provide a better understanding of the proposed concept. Two aggregation operators are developed based HBVNS which are the hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic weighted averaging (HBVNWA) and the hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic weighted geometric (HBVNWG). A decision making method is developed based on HBVNS and the proposed HBVNWA and HBVNWG operators. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the applicability of the proposed decision making method and a comparative analysis with the existing methods is also provided.
