A Neutrosophic Compromise Programming Technique to Solve Multi-Objective Assignment Problem with T2TpFNs

Abstract

Multi-objective assignment problems (MOAPs) emerge in a wide range of real-world scenarios, from everyday activities to large-scale industrial operations. In this study, a MOAP with fuzzy parameters is investigated, and the fuzziness is represented by a Type-2 fuzzy logic system. Because the T2FLS is more efficient in dealing with the uncertainty of a decision-making process, the current problem's many parameters are represented by Type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (T2TpFNs). T2TpFNs are first reduced to Type-1 fuzzy numbers, then to crisp numbers. Finally, the neutrosophic compromise programming technique (NCPT) is applied to produce a problem compromise solution. A numerical problem is used to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the NCPT for the current MOAP. Furthermore, a comparison of NCPT to other techniques such as FPT and IFPT shows its superiority.
