TL;DR

An approach to handle multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems under the SVTrN-numbers is introduced and an approach based on the SVTrN ordered hybrid weighted geometric operator is developed to solve multi-criteria decision making problems with SVTrN-number.

Abstract

Since the single valued triangular neutrosophic number (SVTrN-number) is a generalization of triangular fuzzy numbers and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, it may express more abundant and flexible information as compared with the triangular fuzzy numbers and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. This article introduces an approach to handle multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems under the SVTrN-numbers. Therefore, we first proposed some new geometric operators are called SVTrN weighted geometric operator, SVTrN ordered weighted geometric operator and SVTrN ordered hybrid weighted geometric operator. Also we studied some desirable properties of the geometric operators. And then, an approach based on the SVTrN ordered hybrid weighted geometric operator is developed to solve multi-criteria decision making problems with SVTrN-number. Finally, a numerical example is used to demonstrate how to apply the proposed approach.
