This paper investigates some Frank aggregation operators of interval-valued neutrosophic numbers (IVNNs) and applies to multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. First, the Frank t-conorm and t-norm are extended to interval-valued neutrosophic environment. Some new operational laws for IVNNs are dened and their related properties are investigated. Based on these new operational laws, some new aggregation operators for IVNNs are developed including the interval-valued neutrosophic Frank weighted averaging (IVNFWA) operator and the interval-valued neutrosophic Frank weighted geometric (IVNFWG) operator. Then some desirable properties and special cases of these new operators are further discussed. To solve the MAGDM with IVNNs, the weights of decision makers (DMs) are determined by using extended technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method based on cross-entropy. Additionally, attribute weights are determined based on the similarity degrees between alternatives and the absolute ideal solutions. Further, two new decision-making approaches for MAGDM with IVNNs are put forward by means of the IVNFWA and IVNFWG operators, respectively.Finally, a case study of selecting an agricultural socialization service provider is analyzed to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the developed two approaches.

This paper presents a new method for group multi-attribute decision-making (GMADM) based on interval neutrosophic sets, where decision makers determine the weights and the evaluating values of the attributes with respect to the available alternatives by using interval neutrosophic values. In comparison with other existing methods involving group multi-attribute decision making, that only consider crisp or incomplete information, the proposed method, based on interval neutrosophic sets, can handle not only incomplete information but also indeterminate and inconsistent information which is common in real-world situations. Therefore, the method presented in this paper can be more effective and efficient than other decision-making methods.

Interval neutrosophic sets (INSs) provide us with a more flexible and effective way to express incomplete, indeterminate, and inconsistent information..epurpose of this paper is to introduce the new multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on the improved projection model under the interval neutrosophic environment. In this paper, we investigated the basic concepts and operational rules of interval neutrosophic numbers (INNs), then proposed the projection of two INNs and improved the entropy formula of the INNs. Furthermore, this paper took account into the decision maker’s attitude towards the indeterminacy and risk and proposed two different methods to determine the ideal solutions. Based on this, we presented an improved MCDM method based on the projection model under the interval neutrosophic environment. Finally, the practicability and reliability of the proposed method were explained by the example of software quality-in-use evaluation.

Neutrosophic cubic sets can deal with the complex information by combining the neutrosophic sets and cubic sets, the power average (PA) can weaken some effects of awkward data from biased decision makers, and Heronian mean (HM) can deal with the interrelationship between the aggregated attributes or arguments. In this article, in order to consider the advantages of the PA and HM, we combined and extended them to process neutrosophic cubic information. Firstly, we defined a distance measure for neutrosophic cubic numbers, then we presented the neutrosophic cubic power Heronian aggregation operator and neutrosophic cubic power weighted Heronian aggregation operator, and some characters and special cases of these new aggregation operators were investigated. Furthermore, we gave a new approach for multiattribute group decision making based on new proposed operators. Finally, two examples were given to explain the validity and advantages of the developed approach by comparing with the existing method.

Neutrosophic cubic set (NCS) is the generalized version of neutrosophic sets and interval neutrosophic sets. It can deal with the complex information by combining the neutrosophic set (NS) and cubic set (CS). The partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operator can reflect the interrelationships among attributes where there are interrelationships among attributes in the same partition, but the attributes in different partitions are irrelevant. To effectively gather neutrosophic cubic information, we extend the PMSM operator to neutrosophic cubic environment and define the neutrosophic cubic partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (NCPMSM) operator and neutrosophic cubic weighted partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (NCWPMSM) operator. Later, we define a novel score function of NCS which overcome the drawbacks of the existing score functions. Next, based on NCWPMSM operator and the novel score function, we develop a multi-attribute group decision-making method. Finally, we give an example of supplier selection to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) method. At the same time, a comparative analysis is to show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method compared with the existing methods.
