A multicriteria decision-making method using aggregation operators for simplified neutrosophic sets

The paper introduces the concept of simplified neutrosophic sets SNSs, which are a subclass of neutrosophic sets, and defines the operational laws of SNSs. Then, we propose some aggregation operators, including a simplified neutrosophic weighted arithmetic average operator and a simplified neutrosophic weighted geometric average operator. Based on the two aggregation operators and cosine similarity measure for SNSs, a multicriteria decision-making method is established in which the evaluation values of alternatives with respective to criteria are represented by the form of SNSs. The ranking order of alternatives is performed through the cosine similarity measure between an alternative and the ideal alternative and the best ones can be determined as well. Finally, a numerical example shows the application of the proposed method.
