Multicriteria Decision-Making Method Under a Single Valued Neutrosophic Environment

A single valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) is a subclass of neutrosophic sets, which generalizes fuzzy sets, interval valued fuzzy set, and intuitionistic fuzzy set. It can be used to easily express incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent information. This paper introduces the Dice similarity measure of single valued neutrosophic numbers (SVNNs) for ranking SVNNs and a single valued neutrosophic prioritized weighted geometric (SVNPWG) operator for aggregating single valued neutrosophic information. Based on the SVNPWG operator and the Dice similarity measure for SVNNs, a multicriteria decision-making method with different priority levels in the criteria is established in which the evaluation values of alternatives with respective to criteria are represented in the form of SVNNs. The ranking order of alternatives is performed through the Dice measure and the best one(s) can be determined as well. Finally, an illustrative example shows the application of the proposed method.
