Hypersoft sets (HSSs) have gained popularity because of their ability to formulate data in the form of several trait-valued disjoint sets that blend various traits. Motivated by this idea, in this study, we present a new hyper-approach referred to as bipolar neutrosophic hypersoft sets (BNHSSs) by a generalization of neutro-sophic hypersoft sets (NHSSs) and bipolar fuzzy hypersoft sets (BFHSSs) or by merging and subjecting both HSSs and neutrosophic sets (NSs) to a bipolarity property of real numbers. By utilizing positive and negative neutrosophic structures, we construct different notions and operations on the basis of BNHSSs, such as an absolute BNHSS, a null BNHSS, a complement, subset-hood, a restricted and extended union, and a restricted and extended intersection, along with their related properties. Also, some operations like OR and AND on BNHSS have been initiated. In addition, some properties are displayed paired together, and some numerical hypothetical examples are given to clarify the mechanism of using these instruments. Finally, to prove the efficiency and applicability of the proposed model, we established two novel algorithms based on mathematical techniques (aggregation operator and score function) applied to our model (BNHSS). The aforementioned meth-ods have been utilized in the resolution of a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Some discussions and comparisons between the given techniques are also presented to demonstrate their effectiveness and applicability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The idea of an interval complex neutrosophic soft set (I-CNSS) emerges from the interval neutrosophic soft set (I-NSS) by the extension of its three membership functions (T, I, F) from real space to complex space (unit disc) to better handle uncertainties, vagueness, indeterminacy, and imprecision of information in the periodic nature. The novelty of I-CNSS lies in its more significant range of activity compared to CNS. Measures of similarity and distance are important tools that can be used to solve many problems in real life. Hence, this paper presents some interval complex neutrosophic soft similarities based on Hamming and Euclidean distances of I-CNSSs to deal with real-life problems that include uncertain information such as decision-making issues and medical diagnosis stats. Firstly, this paper reviews the definition of an interval complex neutrosophic soft set. Secondly, we defined distance Hamming measures and distance Euclidean measures on I-CNSSs. Next, the axiomatic definition of similarity measures based on Hamming and Euclidean distances of I-CNSSs is proposed. Moreover, a numerical example is given and relations between these measures are introduced and verified. Meanwhile, some applications are given to show how similarity can be used to help the user in making decisions and making medical diagnoses. Finally, a comparison of some current approaches is used to back up this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We establish the hybrid concept of complex bipolar- valued neutrosophic soft set (CBVNSS) as a hybrid model of bipolar neutrosophic soft set (BNSS)and complex fuzzy set (CFS). A CBVNSS is highly suitable for use in real life situations where the decision makers are interested to deal with bipolarity as well as truth membership, indeterminacy membership and falsity membership grades to the alternatives in an extended range with complex numbers. Certain operations on CBVNSS like complement, subset, union and intersection operations are defined. Some related examples are also given to enhance the understanding of the proposed concept. The basic properties are also verified. We then provide a decision-making method on the CBVNSS. Finally, a numerical example has been presented to verify validity and feasibility of the developed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Entropy measure is an important tool in measuring uncertain information and plays a vital role in solving Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). At present, various entropy measures in literature are developed to measure the degree of fuzziness. However, they could not be used to deal with interval neutrosophic vague set (INVS) environment. In this study, two kinds of entropy measures are proposed as the extension of the entropy measure of single valued neutrosophic set (SVNS). First, we construct the axiomatic definition of INVS and propose a new formula for the entropy measure of INVS. Based on this measure, we develop two multi criteria decision making methods. Subsequently, an illustrative example of investment problems under INVS is given to demonstrate the proposed entropy measures. Finally, a comparative analysis is presented to illustrate the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed entropy measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
