A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method Using Power Aggregation Operators for Single-valued Neutrosophic Sets

As a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets (NSs) can be better handle the incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent information, which have attracted the widespread concerns for researchers. In this paper, some new aggregation operators are proposed under single-valued neutrosophic environment. Firstly, the definition and operational laws of single-valued neutrosophic numbers (SVNNs) are introduced. Then, the single-valued neutrosophic power average (SVNPA) operator and the single-valued neutrosophic power weighted average (SVNPWA) operator are developed, and some properties of SVNPWA operator are also analyzed. Furthermore, a method for solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems is explored based on the power aggregation operators and cosine similarity measures. Finally, an illustrative example is shown to verify the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method.
