“…Based on the real standard interval [0, 1] in actual applications, Ye (2014a) introduced simplified neutrosophic sets (SNSs), implying single-valued neutrosophic sets (SvNSs) (Wang et al, 2010) and interval-valued neutrosophic sets (IvNSs) (Wang et al, 2005), as the subclass of the neutrosophic set, which is the generalization of fuzzy sets (Zadeh, 1965), intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) (Atanassov, 1986), and in-terval-valued IFSs (IvIFSs) (Atanassov & Gargov, 1989), and then defined the operational relations and weighted aggregation operators of simplified neutrosophic elements (SNEs) for decision making (DM) applications. Since then, SNSs (SvNSs and IvNSs) have been wildly applied in DM (Liu & Wang, 2014;Peng et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2016;Sahin & Liu, 2017a, 2017bZhou et al, 2019;Köseoğlu et al, 2019), clustering analysis (Ye, 2014b), medical diagnosis (Thanh et al, 2017;Alia et al, 2018), control design (Gal et al, 2012;Can & Ozguven, 2017), mechanical fault diagnosis (Ye, 2017), and so on.…”
