Abstract

In this article, we propose a novel concept of the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set by combining the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy set and the soft set. For possible applications, five kinds of operations (e.g., subset, equal, union, intersection, and complement) on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets are presented. Then, several theoretical operations of single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets are given. In addition, the first type for the fuzzy decision-making based on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set matrix is constructed. Finally, we present the second type by using the AND operation of the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set for fuzzy decision-making and clarify its applicability with a numerical example.

Highlights

  • Many areas work with vague data that require fuzzy sets [1], intuitionistic fuzzy sets [2], picture fuzzy sets [3], and other mathematical tools

  • As the motivation of this article, we present a novel notion of the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set, which can be seen as a novel single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set model, which gives rise to some new concepts

  • Since neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets have some difficulties in dealing with some real-life problems due to the nonstandard interval of neutrosophic components, we introduce the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set (i.e., the single-valued neutrosophic set has a symmetric form, since the membership (T) and nonmembership (F) are symmetric with each other, while indeterminacy (I) is in the middle), which is considered as an instance of neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets

Summary

Introduction

Many areas (e.g., physics, social sciences, computer sciences, and medicine) work with vague data that require fuzzy sets [1], intuitionistic fuzzy sets [2], picture fuzzy sets [3], and other mathematical tools. Symmetry 2020, 12, 1361 et al [19] presented the notion of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert sets and gave a novel approach by transforming from the complex case to the real case for decision-making. Qamar and Hassan [20] proposed a novel approach to Q-neutrosophic soft sets and studied several operations of Q-neutrosophic soft sets They generalized Q-neutrosophic soft expert sets based on uncertainty for decision-making [21]. Two novel approaches (i.e., Algorithms 1 and 2) to fuzzy decision-making depending on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets are discussed, in addition to a numerical example to show the two approaches we have developed.
