Neutrosophic Set A Generalization Of The Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set

In this paper one generalizes the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), paraconsistent set, and intuitionistic set to the neutrosophic set (NS). Many examples are presented. Distinctions between NS and IFS are underlined.

In this paper one generalizes the intuitionistic fuzzy logic (IFL) and other logics to neutrosophic logic (NL). The differences between IFL and NL (and the corresponding intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set) are pointed out.

In this paper, we introduce the plithogenic set (as generalization of crisp, fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, and neutrosophic sets), which is a set whose elements are characterized by many attributes’ values. An attribute value v has a corresponding (fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, or neutrosophic) degree of appurtenance d(x,v) of the element x, to the set P, with respect to some given criteria. In order to obtain a better accuracy for the plithogenic aggregation operators in the plithogenic set, and for a more exact inclusion (partial order), a (fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, or neutrosophic) contradiction (dissimilarity) degree is defined between each attribute value and the dominant (most important) attribute value. The plithogenic intersection and union are linear combinations of the fuzzy operators tnorm and tconorm, while the plithogenic complement, inclusion (inequality), equality are influenced by the attribute values contradiction (dissimilarity) degrees. This article offers some examples and applications of these new concepts in our everyday life.

In this paper, we prove that Neutrosophic Set (NS) is an extension of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IFS) no matter if the sum of neutrosophic components is <1, or >1, or =1. For the case when the sum of components is 1 (as in IFS), after applying the neutrosophic aggregation operators, one gets a different result than applying the intuitionistic fuzzy operators, since the intuitionistic fuzzy operators ignore the indeterminacy, while the neutrosophic aggregation operators take into consideration the indeterminacy at the same level as truth-membership and falsehood-nonmembership are taken.

In this paper we prove that Neutrosophic Set (NS) is an extension of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IFS) no matter if the sum of single-valued neutrosophic components is < 1, or > 1, or = 1. For the case when the sum of components is 1 (as in IFS), after applying the neutrosophic aggregation operators one gets a different result from that of applying the intuitionistic fuzzy operators, since the intuitionistic fuzzy operators ignore the indeterminacy, while the neutrosophic aggregation operators take into consideration the indeterminacy at the same level as truth-membership and falsehood-nonmembership are taken. NS is also more flexible and effective because it handles, besides independent components, also partially independent and partially dependent components, while IFS cannot deal with these. Since there are many types of indeterminacies in our world, we can construct different approaches to various neutrosophic concepts.

Earlier fuzzy set, vague set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, L-fuzzy set etc are used as a mathematical tools for solving problems based on uncertainties or ambiguous in nature. But due to more complexity involves in problems exist in nature, traditional tools are unable to handle those in a systematic manner. So we need a tool which is more flexible to handle those problems. Which leads to the invention of soft set which was introduced by Molodtsov in 1999. Soft set (SS) theory is a mathematical tool deals with parametric data which are imprecise in nature. Ithis a generalization of fuzzy set theory. On the other hand Rough set (RS) theory and Neutrosophic set (NS) theory both rising as a powerful tool to handle these uncertain, incomplete, inconsistent and imprecise information in an effective manner. Actually Neutrosophic set is a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set. Sometimes it is not possible to handle all sorts of uncertain problems with a single mathematical tool. Fusion of two or more mathematical tools give rise to a new mathematical concept which gives an idea how to solve such type of problems in a more sophisticated ways. Which leads to the introduction of fuzzy soft set, rough soft set, intuitionistic fuzzy soft set, soft rough set etc. Neutrosophic soft set (NSS) was established by combining the concept of Soft set and Neutrosophic set. In this paper, using the concept of Rough set and Neutrosophic soft set a new concept known as Rough neutrosophic soft set (RNSS) is developed. Some properties and operations on them are introduced.

The notion of interval, double-valued neutrosophic intuitionistic fuzzy sets is a generalization of fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. We apply the concept of interval, double-valued neutrosophic intuitionistic fuzzy sets an instance of neutrosophic intuitionistic fuzzy sets, to graphs. We introduce certain types of strong interval ,double-valued neutrosophic intuitionistic fuzzy graphs and investigate some of their properties with proofs and examples.
