Optimal Design of Truss Structures Using a Neutrosophic Number Optimization Model under an Indeterminate Environment

Abstract

This paper defines basic operations of neutrosophic numbers and neutrosophic number functions for objective functions and constraints in optimization models. Then, we propose a general neutrosophic number optimization model for the optimal design of truss structures.
