Abstract

AbstractAs a neutrosophic number, which consists of a determinate part and an indeterminate part, can more easily and better express incomplete and indeterminate information that exists commonly in real situations, the main purposes of this paper are to provide a neutrosophic number tool for group decision-making problems with indeterminate information under a neutrosophic number environment and to develop a de-neutrosophication method and a possibility degree ranking method for neutrosophic numbers from the probability viewpoint as a methodological support for group decision-making problems. In group decision-making problems with neutrosophic numbers, through the de-neutrosophication and possibility degree ranking order of neutrosophic numbers, the ranking order of alternatives is performed well as the possibility degree ranking method has the intuitive meaning from the probability viewpoint, and then the best one(s) can be determined as well. Finally, two illustrative examples show the applications and effectiveness of the proposed method.
