Contributions of Selected Indian Researchers to Multi Attribute Decision Making in Neutrosophic Environment: An Overview

Abstract

Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) is a mathematical tool to solve decision problems involving conflicting attributes. With the increasing complexity, uncertainty of objective things and the neutrosophic nature of human thought, more and more attention has been paid to the investigation on multi attribute decision making in neutrosophic environment, and convincing research results have been reported in the literature. While modern algebra and number theory have well documented and established roots deep into India's ancient scholarly history, the understanding of the springing up of neutrosophics, specifically neutrosophic decision making, demands a closer inquiry. The objective of the study is to present a brief review of the pioneering contributions of personalities as diverse as those of P. P. Dey, K. Mondal, P. Biswas, D. Banerjee, S. Dalapati, P. K. Maji, A. Mukherjee, T. K. Roy, B. C. Giri, H. Garg, S. Bhattacharya. A survey of various concepts, issues, etc. related to neutrosophic decision making is discussed. New research direction of neutrosophic decision making is also provided.
