An Enhanced AHP Group Decision-Making Model Employing Neutrosophic Trapezoidal Numbers

Abstract

This study emphasizes the limitations observed in the prevailing neutrosophic AHP group decisionmaking model. To address these limitations, an augmented neutrosophic AHP group decision-making model has been established, leveraging the potential of neutrosophic trapezoidal numbers. A comprehensive exploration of a key property of the neutrosophic trapezoidal pairwise comparison matrix is performed in this research, revealing that the current model inadequately maintains the reciprocal property of the neutrosophic trapezoidal pairwise comparison matrix. A real-world decision-making problem is resolved utilizing the introduced model, and a comparative analysis is furnished between the pre-existing neutrosophic AHP group decision-making model and the revised version. The results unequivocally demonstrate the superiority of the enhanced model.
