Abstract

Similarity measures (SM) and correlation coefficients (CC) are used to solve many problems. These problems include vague and imprecise information, excluding the inability to deal with general vagueness and numerous information problems. The main purpose of this research is to propose an m-polar interval-valued neutrosophic soft set (mPIVNSS) by merging the m-polar fuzzy set and interval-valued neutrosophic soft set and then study various operations based on the proposed notion, such as AND operator, OR operator, truth-favorite, and false-favorite operators with their properties. This research also puts forward the concept of the necessity and possibility operations of mPIVNSS and also the m-polar interval-valued neutrosophic soft weighted average operator (mPIVNSWA) with its desirable properties. Cosine and set-theoretic similarity measures have been proposed for mPIVNSS using Bhattacharya distance and discussed their fundamental properties. Furthermore, we extend the concept of CC and weighted correlation coefficient (WCC) for mPIVNSS and presented their necessary characteristics. Moreover, utilizing the mPIVNSWA operator, CC, and SM developed three novel algorithms for mPIVNSS to solve the multicriteria decision-making problem. Finally, the advantages, effectiveness, flexibility, and comparative analysis of the developed algorithms are given with the prevailing techniques.
