Abstract As an important and interesting topic in supply chain management, the concept of fuzzy set theory has been widely used in logistics center location in order to improve the reliability and suitability of the logistics center location with respect to the impacts of both qualitative and quantitative factor. However fuzzy set cannot deal with the indeterminacy involving with the problem. S...

In this paper, we develop a new approach to deal with neutrosphic shortest path problem in a network in which each edge weight (or length) is represented as triangular fuzzy neutrosophic number. The proposed algorithm also gives the shortest path length from source node to destination node using ranking function. Finally, an illustrative example is also included to demonstrate our proposed appr...

In this paper, concept of possibility neutrosophic soft set and its operations are defined, and their properties are studied. An application of this theory in decision making is investigated. Also a similarity measure of two possibility neutrosophic soft sets is introduced and discussed. Finally an application of this similarity measure in personal selection for a firm.

We extend Knuth's 16 Boolean binary logic operators to fuzzy logic and neutrosophic logic binary operators. Then we generalize them to n-ary fuzzy logic and neutrosophic logic operators using the smarandache codification of the Venn diagram and a defined vector neutrosophic law. In such way, new operators in neutrosophic logic/set/probability are built. Introduction. For the beginning let’s con...

A semantic net can be used to represent a sentence. A sentence in a language contains semantics which are polar in nature, that is, semantics which are positive, neutral and negative. Neutrosophy is a relatively new field of science which can be used to mathematically represent triads of concepts. These triads include truth, indeterminacy and falsehood, and so also positivity, neutrality and ne...

Soft computing can be used to build hybrid intelligent systems for achieving different goals in real-world applications. Soft Computing techniques include, at the moment, fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, chaos theory methods, and similar techniques that have been proposed in recent years. Each of these techniques has advantages and disadvantages, and several real-world problems...

Clustering plays an important role in data mining, pattern recognition, and machine learning. Singlevalued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) are useful means to describe and handle indeterminate and inconsistent information that fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets cannot describe and deal with. To cluster the data represented by single-valued neutrosophic information, this article proposes single-...

In this paper we study the concept of neutrosophic soft sets. Imposing some weights on the parameters considered we introduce here weighted neutrosophic soft sets. Some operations like union, intersection, complement, AND, OR etc. have been defined on this new concept. Some properties of these newly defined operations have also been verified .

The paper presents the research undertaken for extending the functionality of a regular fuzzy multi-input decision support system through the application of basic neutrosophy principles. The application is designed and simulated using tools already available for the fuzzy implementation, adapted to the requirements of the neutrosophic extension. The results show an increase in the decision clas...

Granular computing is a computational paradigm that mimics human cognition in terms of grouping similar information together. Compatibility operators such as cardinality, orientation, density, and multidimensional length act on both in raw data and information granules which are formed from raw data providing a framework for human-like information processing where information granulation is int...
