Abstract

Neutrosophic trapezoidal fuzzy multi-numbers(NTFMN) are a particular case of neutrosophic fuzzy numbers on a real number set, which are used to predict the solution for multi-criteria decision making problems. In this paper we initiate the definition for NTFMN and formulate a multiple criteria decision-making problems in which the alternatives are NTFMN. Expected value is used for ranking neutrosophic trapezoidal fuzzy multi-numbers and for selection of best alternative. Finally, a numerical example is given to justify the practicality and efficiency of the proposed method.
