In this paper, we define the disjunctive sum, difference and Cartesian product of two interval valued neutrosophic sets and study their basic properties. The notions of the (α,β,γ) interval cut set of interval valued neutrosophic sets and the (α,β,γ) strong interval cut set of interval valued neutrosophic sets are put forward.

Interval type-2 fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making approaches for evaluating the service quality of Chinese commercial banks

The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.In today’s world, with increased competition, the service quality of Chinese commercial banks is recognized as a major factor that is responsible for enhancing competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and analyse the service quality of Chinese commercial banks to realize their stable development. The service quality evaluation could be recognized as a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problem with multiple assessment attributes, both being of a qualitative and quantitative nature. Owing to the growing complexity and high uncertainty of the financial environment, the assessments of attributes cannot always possibly express using a real and/or type-1 fuzzy number. Additionally, a heterogeneous relationship often exists among the attributes under many real decision cases. In this study, we create two MADM approaches to handle decision-making problems with interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs) and offer their application to service quality evaluations of commercial banks problems. Specifically, we first define some operations on IT2FNs based on Archimedean T-norms (ATs) and develop a bi-directional projection measure of IT2FNs. Next, by combining the generalized Banzhaf index, the Choquet integral and IT2FNs, we propose the interval type-2 fuzzy Archimedean Choquet (IT2FAC) operator, the Banzhaf IT2FAC (BIT2FAC) operator and the 2-additive BIT2FAC (2ABIT2FAC) operator. Then, we establish two optimal models for deriving the weights of attributes based on a bi-directional projection measure of IT2FNs and Banzhaf function. Finally, we create two novel MADM methods under interval type-2 fuzzy contexts, where an illustrative case concerning the service quality evaluation of Chinese commercial banks is used to explain the created MADM approaches

Some Interval Neutrosophic Dombi Power Bonferroni Mean Operators and Their Application in Multi–Attribute Decision–Making

The power Bonferroni mean (PBM) operator is a hybrid structure and can take the advantage of a power average (PA) operator, which can reduce the impact of inappropriate data given by the prejudiced decision makers (DMs) and Bonferroni mean (BM) operator, which can take into account the correlation between two attributes

New Challenges in Neutrosophic Theory and Applications

Neutrosophic theory has representatives on all continents and, therefore, it can be said to be a universal theory. On the other hand, according to the three volumes of “The Encyclopedia of Neutrosophic Researchers” (2016, 2018, 2019), plus numerous others not yet included in Encyclopedia book series, about 1200 researchers from 73 countries have applied both the neutrosophic theory and method. Neutrosophic theory was founded by Professor Florentin Smarandache in 1998; it constitutes further generalization of fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy theories. The key distinction between the neutrosophic set/logic and other types of sets/logics lies in the introduction of the degree of indeterminacy/neutrality (I) as an independent component in the neutrosophic set. Thus, neutrosophic theory involves the degree of membership-truth (T), the degree of indeterminacy (I), and the degree of non-membership-falsehood (F). In recent years, the field of neutrosophic set, logic, measure, probability and statistics, precalculus and calculus, etc., and their applications in multiple fields have been extended and applied in various fields, such as communication, management, and information technology. We believe that this book serves as useful guidance for learning about the current progress in neutrosophic theories. In total, 22 studies have been presented and reflect the call of the thematic vision. The contents of each study included in the volume are briefly described as follows. The first contribution, authored by Wadei Al-Omeri and Saeid Jafari, addresses the concept of generalized neutrosophic pre-closed sets and generalized neutrosophic pre-open sets in neutrosophic topological spaces. In the article “Design of Fuzzy Sampling Plan Using the Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution”, the authors Muhammad Zahir Khan, Muhammad Farid Khan, Muhammad Aslam, and Abdur Razzaque Mughal discuss the use of probability distribution function of Birnbaum–Saunders distribution as a proportion of defective items and the acceptance probability in a fuzzy environment. Further, the authors Derya Bakbak, Vakkas Uluc¸ay, and Memet S¸ahin present the “Neutrosophic Soft Expert Multiset and Their Application to Multiple Criteria Decision Making” together with several operations defined for them and their important algebraic properties. In “Neutrosophic Multigroups and Applications”, Vakkas Uluc¸ay and Memet S¸ahin propose an algebraic structure on neutrosophic multisets called neutrosophic multigroups, deriving their basic properties and giving some applications to group theory. Changxing Fan, Jun Ye, Sheng Feng, En Fan, and Keli Hu introduce the “Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method Using Heronian Mean Operators under a Bipolar Neutrosophic Environment” and test the effectiveness of their new methods. Another decision-making study upon an everyday life issue which empowered us to organize the key objective of the industry developing is given in “Neutrosophic Cubic Einstein Hybrid Geometric Aggregation Operators with Application in Prioritization Using Multiple Attribute Decision-Making Method” written by Khaleed Alhazaymeh, Muhammad Gulistan, Majid Khan, and Seifedine Kadry

Neutrosophic Algebraic Structures and Their Applications

Neutrosophic theory and its applications have been expanding in all directions at an astonishing rate especially after of the introduction the journal entitled “Neutrosophic Sets and Systems”. New theories, techniques, algorithms have been rapidly developed. One of the most striking trends in the neutrosophic theory is the hybridization of neutrosophic set with other potential sets such as rough set, bipolar set, soft set, hesitant fuzzy set, etc. The different hybrid structures such as rough neutrosophic set, single valued neutrosophic rough set, bipolar neutrosophic set, single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set, etc. are proposed in the literature in a short period of time. Neutrosophic set has been an important tool in the application of various areas such as data mining, decision making, e-learning, engineering, medicine, social science, and some more
