Dynamic interval valued neutrosophic set: Modeling decision making in dynamic environments

Abstract

Dynamic decision problems constrained by time are of highly-interested in many aspects of real life. This paper proposes a new concept called the Dynamic Interval-valued Neutrosophic Set (DIVNS) for such the dynamic decision-making applications. Firstly, we define the definitions and mathematical operations, properties and correlations of DIVNSs. Next, we develop a new TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method based on the proposed DIVNS theory. Finally, a practical application of the method for evaluating lecturers’ performance at the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (ULIS-VNU) is given to illustrate the efficiency of our approach.
