A robust framework for the decision-making based on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft expert setting

Abstract

A soft expert set is widely used as a tool to solve and model the problems appearing in computer science and operations research. It aims to incorporate expert knowledge and uncertainty-handling capabilities into the analysis and decision-making processes. On the other hand, the idea of single neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and fuzzy sets (FSs) are imported models for handling the uncertainty data. In this work, the authors combine the critical features of FSs and SVNSs under expert systems in one model. Accordingly, this model worked to provide decision-makers with more flexibility in the process of interpreting uncertain information. From a scientific point of view, the process of evaluating this high-performance SVNFSES disappears. Therefore, in this paper, we initiated a new approach known as single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft expert sets (SVNFSESs) as a new development in a fuzzy soft computing environment. We investigate some fundamental operations on SVNFSESS along with their basic properties. Also, we investigate AND and OR operations between two SVNFSESS as well as several numerical examples to clarify the above fundamental operations. Finally, we have given distance measures (DM) between two SVNFSESs to construct a new algorithm that is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method in handling some real-life applications.
