Abstract

In order to handle incomplete, ambiguous, and inconsistent data, the concept of a neutrosophic set (NS) has gained immense popularity. Due to its independent indeterminacy component, it has been shown to be a successful tactic and expanded in literature by numerous experts. The primary aim of the current study is to discuss the generality of the NS and its development processes within the studied field. According to the requirements in various sectors, there have been numerous techniques and improvements toward neutrosophic perception during these periods. To understand the most current developments in the neutrosophic approach, a review of the last ten years literature has been conducted in the current study. To comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches, tabular and graphical comparisons are included. Based on the outcomes of the review papers, managerial implications have been investigated. For further comprehension, the research gap between existing methods and corresponding future approach is also emphasized.
