This paper introduces a novel soft computing technique, called the complex neutrosophic soft expert relation (CNSER), to evaluate the degree of interaction between two hybrid models called complex neutrosophic soft expert sets (CNSESs). CNSESs are used to represent two-dimensional data that are imprecise, uncertain, incomplete and indeterminate. Moreover, it has a mechanism to incorporate the parameter set and the opinions of all experts in one model, thus making it highly suitable for use in decision-making problems where the time factor plays a key role in determining the final decision. The complex neutrosophic soft expert set and complex neutrosophic soft expert relation are both defined. Utilizing the properties of CNSER introduced, an empirical study is conducted on the relationship between the variability of the currency exchange rate and Malaysian exports and the time frame (phase) of the interaction between these two variables. This study is supported further by an algorithm to determine the type and the degree of this relationship. A comparison between different existing relations and CNSER to show the ascendancy of our proposed CNSER is provided. Then, the notion of the inverse, complement and composition of CNSERs along with some related theorems and properties are introduced. Finally, we define the symmetry, transitivity and reflexivity of CNSERs, as well as the equivalence relation and equivalence classes on CNSESs. Some interesting properties are also obtained.

The study of small data Sobolev solutions to the Cauchy problem for weakly coupled systems of semi-linear fractional σ – evolution equations with different power nonlinearities is of interest to us in this research. These solutions must exist globally (in time). We explain the relationships between the admissible range of exponents p 1 and p 2 symmetrically in our main modeland the regularity assumptions for the data by using L m − L q estimates of Sobolev solutions to related linear models with a vanishing right-hand side and some fixed point argument. This allows us to prove the global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study in this paper the long-term existence of solutions to the system of weakly coupled equations with fractional evolution and various nonlinearities. Our objective is to determine the connection between the regularity assumptions on the initial data, the memory terms, and the permissible range of exponents in a specific equation. Using L p − L q estimates for solutions to the corresponding linear fractional σ –evolution equations with vanishing right-hand sides, and applying a fixed-point argument, the existence of small data solutions is established for some admissible range of powers (p 1 , p 2 , ... , p k) .

Inequalities serve as fundamental tools for analyzing various important concepts in stochastic differential problems. In this study, we present results on the existence, uniqueness, and averaging principle for fractional neutral stochastic differential equations. We utilize Jensen, Burkholder–Davis–Gundy, Grönwall–Bellman, Hölder, and Chebyshev–Markov inequalities. We generalize results in two ways: first, by extending the existing result for p = 2 to results in the L p space; second, by incorporating the Caputo–Katugampola fractional derivatives, we extend the results established with Caputo fractional derivatives. Additionally, we provide examples to enhance the understanding of the theoretical results we establish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, real world problems are complicated because they deal with uncertainty and incomplete information. Obviously, such problems cannot be solved by a single technique because of the multiple perspectives that may arise. Currently, the combination of DEMATEL and the neutrosophic environment are still new and not fully explored. Previous studies of DEMATEL and this neutrosophic environment have been carried out based on numerical values to represent a new scale. Until now, little importance has been placed on the development of a linguistic variable for DEMATEL. It is important to develop a new linguistic variable to represent opinions based on human experience. Therefore, to fill this gap, the concept of Interval Neutrosophic Vague Sets (INVS) has been extended to the linguistic variable that can be used in the decision-making process. The INVS is useful tool to deal with uncertainty and incomplete information. Additionally, the advantages of the linguistic variable of INVS allows the greater range of value for membership functions. This study proposes a new framework for INVS and DEMATEL. In addition, a case study on the quality of hospital service has been evaluated to demonstrate the proposed approach. Finally, a comparative analysis to check the feasibility of the proposed method is presented. It demonstrates that different methods produce different relations and levels of importance. This is due to the inclusion of the INVS linguistic variable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the study of biological systems, nonlinear models are commonly employed, although exact solutions are often unattainable. Therefore, it is imperative to develop techniques that offer approximate solutions. This study utilizes the Elzaki residual power series method (ERPSM) to analyze the fractional nonlinear smoking model concerning the Caputo derivative. The outcomes of the proposed technique exhibit good agreement with the Laplace decomposition method, demonstrating that our technique is an excellent alternative to various series solution methods. Our approach utilizes the simple limit principle at zero, making it the easiest way to extract series solutions, while variational iteration, Adomian decomposition, and homotopy perturbation methods require integration. Moreover, our technique is also superior to the residual method by eliminating the need for derivatives, as fractional integration and differentiation are particularly challenging in fractional contexts. Significantly, our technique is simpler than other series solution techniques by not relying on Adomian's and He's polynomials, thereby offering a more efficient way of solving nonlinear problems.

In this research work, we use the concepts of contraction mapping to establish the existence and uniqueness results and also study the averaging principle in L p space by using Jensen's, Grönwall–Bellman's, Hölder's, and Burkholder–Davis–Gundy's inequalities, and the interval translation technique for a class of fractional neutral stochastic differential equations. We establish the results within the framework of the Ψ -Caputo derivative. We generalize the two situations of p = 2 and the Caputo derivative with the findings that we obtain. To help with the understanding of the theoretical results, we provide two applied examples at the end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To handle indeterminate and incomplete data, neutrosophic logic/set/probability were established. The neutrosophic truth, falsehood and indeterminacy components exhibit symmetry as the truth and the falsehood look the same and behave in a symmetrical way with respect to the indeterminacy component which serves as a line of the symmetry. Soft set is a generic mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Rough set is a new mathematical tool for dealing with vague, imprecise, inconsistent and uncertain knowledge in information systems. This paper introduces a new rough set model based on neutrosophic soft set to exploit simultaneously the advantages of rough sets and neutrosophic soft sets in order to handle all types of uncertainty in data. The idea of neutrosophic right neighborhood is utilised to define the concepts of neutrosophic soft rough (NSR) lower and upper approximations. Properties of suggested approximations are proposed and subsequently proven. Some of the NSR set concepts such as NSR-definability, NSR-relations and NSR-membership functions are suggested and illustrated with examples. Further, we demonstrate the feasibility of the newly rough set model with decision making problems involving neutrosophic soft set. Finally, a discussion on the features and limitations of the proposed model is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the definition of the complex neutrosophic soft expert set (CNSES), parameters set is a classical set, and the parameters have the same degree of importance, which is considered as 1. This poses a limitation in modeling of some problems. This paper introduces the concept of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert set (FP-CNSES) to handle this issue by assigning a degree of importance to each of the problem parameters. We further develop FP-CNSES by establishing the concept of weighted fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert set (WFP-CNSES) based on the idea that each expert has a relative weight. These new mathematical frameworks reduce the chance of unfairness in the decision making process. Some essential operations with their properties and relevant laws related to the notion of FP-CNSES are defined and verified. The notation of mapping on fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert classes is defined and some properties of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert images and inverse images was investigated. FP-CNSES is used to put forth an algorithm on decision-making by converting it from complex state to real state and subsequently provided the detailed decision steps. Then, we provide the comparison of FP-CNSES to the current methods to show the ascendancy of our proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The basic aim of soft computing is to trade precision for a tractableness and reduction in solution cost by pushing the limits of tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty. This paper introduces a novel soft computing technique called complex neutrosophic relation (CNR) to evaluate the degree of interaction between two complex neutrosophic sets (CNSs). CNSs are used to represent two-dimensional information that are imprecise, uncertain, incomplete and indeterminate. The Cartesian product of CNSs and subsequently the complex neutrosophic relation is formally defined. This relation is generalised from a conventional single valued neutrosophic relation (SVNR), based on CNSs, where the ranges of values of CNR are extended to the unit circle in complex plane for its membership functions instead of [0, 1] as in the conventional SVNR. A new algorithm is created using a comparison matrix of the SVNR after mapping the complex membership functions from complex space to the real space. This algorithm is then applied to scrutinise the impact of some teaching strategies on the student performance and the time frame(phase) of the interaction between these two variables. The notion of inverse, complement and composition of CNRs along with some related theorems and properties are introduced. The performance and utility of the composition concept in real-life situations is also demonstrated. Then, we define the concepts of projection and cylindric extension for CNRs along with illustrative examples. Some interesting properties are also obtained. Finally, a comparison between different existing relations and CNR to show the ascendancy of our proposed CNR is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
