VIKOR based MAGDM Strategy with Trapezoidal Neutrosophic Numbers

Abstract

VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) is a popular strategy for multi- attribute decision making (MADM). We extend the VIKOR strategy for MAGDM problems in trapezoidal neutrosophic number environment. In decision making situation, single-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers are employed to express the attribute values. Then we develop an extended VIKOR strategy to deal with MAGDM in single-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic number environment. The influence of decision-making mechanism coefficient is presented. To illustrate and validate the proposed VIKOR strategy, an illustrative numerical example of MAGDM problem is solved in trapezoidal neutrosophic number environment.
