A novel extension of TOPSIS with interval type-2 trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers using ( α , β , γ ) -cuts
RAIRO. Operations Research, Tome 55 (2021) no. 5, pp. 2657-2683

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is concerned with structuring and solving decision problems involving multiple criteria for decision-makers in vague and inadequate environment. The “Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution’’ (TOPSIS) is one of the mainly used tactic to deal with MCDM setbacks. In this article, we put forward an extension of TOPSIS with interval type-2 trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers (IT2TrNNs) using the concept of (α, β, γ)-cut. First, we present a novel approach to compute the distance between two IT2TrNNs using ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and (α, β, γ)-cut. Subsequently, we broaden the TOPSIS method in the context of IT2TrNNs and implemented it on a MCDM problem. Lastly, a constructive demonstration and several contrasts with the other prevailing techniques are employed to articulate the practicability of the proposed technique. The presented strategy yields a flexible solution for MCDM problems by considering the attitudes and perspectives of the decision-makers.
