Abstract: Fuzzy models are present everywhere from natural to artificial structures, embodying the dynamic processes in physical, biological, and social systems. As real-life problems are often uncertain on account of inconsistent and indeterminate information, it seems very demanding for an expert to solve those problems using a fuzzy model. In this regard, we develop a hybrid new model m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft set which is based on neutrosophic set and soft set. Additionally, we define several different sorts of compliments on the proposed set. A proposed set is a generalized form of fuzzy, soft, Pythagorean fuzzy, Pythagorean fuzzy soft, and Pythagorean fuzzy N-soft sets. In this manner, m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft set is more proficient, a versatile model to oversee vulnerabilities as it likewise survives the downsides of existing models which are to be summed up. Furthermore, we give the application of the proposed set in multi-attribute decision-making problems by defining a new choice-value function.

1  Introduction

The idea of a set and set theory are incredible assets in arithmetic. Shockingly, a non-condition basic set theory for example that the component can either have a place in a set or not, is frequently not appropriate in genuine a daily existence where numerous unclear terms as “enormous benefit,” “high pressing factor,” “moderate temperature,” “dependable instruments,” “safe conditions,” and so forth are broadly utilized. Tragically, such loose depictions cannot be sufficiently taken care of by ordinary mathematical tools.

In fuzzy theory, a recently characterized model by and large beats the downsides of recently characterized models. Because of uncertainty and weaknesses issues in numerous days by day life issues, routine math is not continuously accessible. To manage such issues, different methods such as the theory of possibility, rough set assumption, and fuzzy set theory has been considered as elective models and to keep away from weaknesses too. Inopportunely, the greater part of the options such as science have their own disadvantages and downsides. For example, a large portion of the words like expert, amazing, best, significant is most certainly not quantifiable and uncertain. The rules for words like superb, best, famous, and so forth, hesitate from individual to person.

To deal with such sort of equivocal and unsure data, Zadeh [1] investigated the idea of fuzzy set which is mapping from a universal set X to [0, 1]. Atanassov [2] proposed the fortuitous of intuitionistic fuzzy sets as an expansion of fuzzy sets by presenting the idea of membership and non-membership grades. Molodtsov [3] began the thought of soft set as a mathematical model to oversee vulnerabilities. The chance of soft set has another objective for the researchers due to them utilizes in a wide range of exuberant issues.

Ali et al. [4] presented some new operations on soft set theory. They introduced the ideas of expanded and restricted union and intersections in detail. In [57], Yager introduced and investigated several relations on Pythagorean fuzzy set. Peng et al. [8] discussed certain results on Pythagorean fuzzy sets and also defined the Pythagorean fuzzy number in. Peng et al. [9] set up some Pythagorean fuzzy data measures and their applications. Peng et al. [10] proposed some new approaches to manage single-regarded neutrosophic MADM reliant on MABAC, TOPSIS, and new closeness measure with score function. In [1121], many decision-making problems and algebraic structures are discussed over different fuzzy environments.

Smarandache’s introduced neutrosophic set and then proposed many operation on it 2224. Neutrosophic set (NS) based on three parameters namely, membership, indeterminacy, and non-membership. Wang et al. [25] propsed the concept of single valued neutrosophic sets. Deli et al. [26] introduced the idea of bipolar neutrosophic set and their applications in multi-criteria decision making problems in. Fatimah et al. [22] introduced the notion of an N-soft set which is an extension of a soft set. Many problems related to decision-making are discussed by using different kind of environments in [2730].

There are many problems regarding decision-making that need to improveby investigating a new set or model. In this regard, we develop a proposed setthat provides a more batter approximation than existing sets. The proposed work is arranged as follows. In Section 2, some preliminary concepts are given to understand the proposed work. In Section 3, we define the notion of m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft set and then define some operations on it. In Section 4 , we discuss different types of compliments on the proposed set. We give the comparison table and application in multi-attribute decision-making problems in Section 5 .

2  Preliminaries

In this section, we give some preliminary concepts related to previous existing sets.

Definition 2.1. [1] A fuzzy set is a mapping μ from universal set X to [0, 1] such that, μ:X[0,1]. The fuzzy set can be written in the form of

FX={(x,μF(x)):xX}.

Definition 2.2. [2] An intuitionistic fuzzy set on universal set X is defined as

IX={(x,μI(x),νI(x)):xI},

where μI:X[0,1] and νI:X[0,1] are the membership and non-membership functions, respectively.

Definition 2.3. [31] The m-polar fuzzy set on a universal set M is a mapping μ:M[0,1]m and m(X) is the collection of all m-polar fuzzy set on M.

Definition 2.4. [3] The soft set is defined by the set valued mapping φ:I2T, where  I denotes the set of parameters and 2T is the power set of T. The soft set can be written as,

φI=(φ,I)={(t,φ(t)):tI,φ(t)2T}.

Definition 2.5. [32,33] A fuzzy soft set is defined as

ΓS={(t,γS(t)):tT,γSF(L)},

where γS:TF(L) and F(L) is the collection of all fuzzy sets on L and T is the set of parameters with ST.

Definition 2.6. [34] Let X be the crisp set. Intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IFSS) is interpreted by multi-valued mapping ψ:BIFX, where IFX represents the collection of all IF-subsets defined over crisp set X (where BX). Thus the IFSS can be expressed as

B={(e,ψB(e)):eX,ψBIFX}.

Definition 2.7. [5] Let X be the crisp set. A Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) can be expressed as

P={<ρ,μP(ρ),νP(ρ)>:0μP2(ρ)+νP2(ρ)1,ρX},

where μP:X[0,1] and νP:X[0,1] with the condition that 0μP2(ρ)+νP2(ρ)1, is known as the degrees of membership and non-membership of ρX to the set P.

Definition 2.8. [35] The score function and accuracy function of Pythagorean fuzzy number α = (μα, να) over X is defined as, S(γ)=μγ2νγ2 and Q(γ)=μγ2+νγ2, with S −1 ≤ γ ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ Q(γ) ≤ 1.

Definition 2.9. [36] The ranking function of Pythagorean fuzzy number γ = (μγ, νγ) over X is defined as

R(γ)=12+rγ(122θγπ),

where rγ=μγ2+νγ2 is called commitment strength and θγ is the angle between rγ and μγ. The direction of commitment dγ is dγ=12θγπ, where μγ = rγcosθγ, νγ = rγsinθγ.

Definition 2.10. [37] Let X be a non-empty universal set, S be the set of attributes, and YS. Let D = {0, 1, 2,…, N − 1} be set of grading. The triple (Fp, Y, N) is said to be a Pythagorean fuzzy N-soft set on X, if Fp is a mapping Fp:Y2X×D×PFN, in which F:Y2X×D, and P:YPFN, where PFN is Pythagorean fuzzy number. That is μ:Y[0,1] and ν:Y[0,1] such that

0μy2(x)+νy2(x)1,  yY,xX.

Hence,

(Fp,Y,N)=((x,dy),(μy(x),νy(x))),dyD.

Definition 2.11. [38] A neutrosophic fuzzy set (NS), S over the universal set X is defined as

S={(ψ,μS(ψ),λS(ψ),νS(ψ))},

where mappings μS, λS, νS stand for degree of truth, degree of indeterminacy, degree of falsity.

μS,λS,νS[0,1], with 0μS+λS+νS3.

3  m-Polar Diophantine Neutrosophic N-Soft Set

Definition 3.1 Let L = {0, 1, 2,…, N − 1} be the set of grades where N ∈ {2, 3, 4, …}. If X is a non-emty set and E is the family of attributes. Let A be a non-empty subset of E. A m-poler Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft (MPDNNS) set on X is denoted as (, A, m, N) or A(m,N), where :AP(PFX×L) is a mapping (where PFX is the aggregate of all Diophantine neutrosophic subsets over X). That is

(,A,m,N)={(e,{ρ,le(ρ)(μ1(ρ),μ2(ρ),,μm(ρ);λ1(ρ),λ2(ρ),,λm(ρ);ν1(ρ),ν2(ρ),,νm(ρ)})

|eA,ρX,le(ρ)L},

where μe:X[0,1]m, νe:X[0,1]m, and λe:X[0,1]m are mappings along with the property,

0i=1mμim(ρ)+i=1mνim(ρ)+i=1mλim(ρ)3m.

In particular, μi(ρ) represents the truth-membership, νi(ρ) denotes degree of falsity-membership, λi(ρ) is the degree of indeterminacy and le(ρ) denotes the grading value of the element ρX corresponding to the attribute eA to the set (, A, m, N). If we write aij = μei(ρj), bij=νei(ρj), dij = λei (ρj), and cij=lej(ρj) where i runs from 1 to m and j runs from 1 to n then the MPDNNS set A(m,N) may be represented in tabular form as

A(m,N)e1e2emρ1c11,(a11,a21,,am1;c12,(a11,a21,,am1;c1m,(a11,a21,,am1;d11,d21,,dm1;d11,d21,,dm1;d11,d21,,dm1;b11,b21,,bm1)b11,b21,,bm1)b11,b21,,bm1)ρ2c21,(a12,a22,,am2;c22,(a12,a22,,am2;c2m,(a12,a22,,am2;d12,d22,,dm2;b12,b22,,bm2;b12,b22,,bm2;b12,b22,,bm2)b12,b22,,bm2)b12,b22,,bm2)ρncn1,(a1n,a2n,,amn;cn2,(a1n,a2n,,amn;cnm,(a1n,a2n,,amn;d1n,d2n,,dmn;d1n,d2n,,dmm;d1n,d2n,,dmn;b1n,b2n,,bmn)b1n,b2n,,bmm)b1n,b2n,,bmn)

and in matrix form as

(,A,m,N)=[cij,(aij,dij,bij)]n×m

=(c11,(a11,a21,,am1;c12,(a11,a21,,am1;c1m,(a11,a21,,am1;d11,d21,,dm1;d11,d21,,dm1;d11,d21,,dm1;b11,b21,,bm1)b11,b21,,bm1)b11,b21,,bm1)c21,(a12,a22,,am2;c22,(a12,a22,,am2;c2m,(a12,a22,,am2;d12,d22,,dm2;d12,d22,,dm2:d12,d22,,dm2;b12,b22,,bm2)b12,b22,,bm2)b12,b22,,bm2)cn1,(a1n,a2n,,amn;cn2,(a1n,a2n,,amn;cnm,(a1n,a2n,,amn;d1n,d2n,,dmn;d1n,d2n,,dmm;d1n,d2n,,dmn;b1n,b2n,,bmn)b1n,b2n,,bmm)b1n,b2n,,bmn))

This matrix is called m-Polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-Soft matrix or shortly MPDNNS matrix.

Note: We use the expression xn + yn = zn in Definition 3.1, which is similar to Diophantine equation. Thats why we call m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft set instead of m-polar neutrosophic N-soft set.

Definition 3.2. An MPDNNS set A(m,N) over X is known as null MPDNNS set, symbolized as ϕ;(m,0) and defined as

ϕ(m,0)={(e,{ρ,lϕ(ρ)(μϕ1(ρ),μϕ2(ρ),,μϕm(ρ);λϕ1(ρ),λϕ2(ρ),,λϕm(ρ);νϕ1(ρ),νϕ2(ρ),,νϕm(ρ)})|eA,ρX,lϕ(ρ)L},

where, μϕi(ρ) = 0, λϕi(ρ) = 1, νϕi(ρ) = 1, 1 ≤ im, and lϕ(ρ) = 0.

Definition 3.3. An MPDNNS set A(m,N) over X is known as absolute MPDNNS set, symbolized as E(m,N1) and defined as

E(m,N1)={(e,{ρ,lE(ρ)(μE1(ρ),μE2(ρ),,μEm(ρ);νE1(ρ)),νE2(ρ),,νEm(ρ)}):eA,ρX,lE(ρ)L},

where μEi(ρ) = 1, λEi(ρ) = 0, νEi(ρ) = 0, 1 ≤ im, and lϕ(ρ) = N − 1.

Example 3.1. Let X = {ρ1, ρ2, ρ3, ρ4, ρ5, ρ6, ρ7}, E = {e1, e2, e3} and L = {0, 1, 2,…, 5}. Suppose that A = {e1, e3}. Then

A(3,6)={(e1,{ρ1,3,(.3,.4,.5;.5,.4,.3;.1,.6,.4),ρ4,4,(.4,.3,.1;.4,.4,.2;.3,.4,.5),

ρ7,5,(.6,.2,.55;.3,.1,.2;.4,.3,.5)}),(e3,{ρ2,2,(.2,.1,.7;.6,.6,.5;.8,.4,.6),

ρ3,1,(.5,.6,.7;.7,.5,.4;.4,.3,.1),ρ5,2,(.4,.6,.2;.7,.3,.5;.7,.5,.3)})}

is a 3PDN6S set over X. The tabular representation of A(3,6) is

A(3,6)e1e2e3ρ13,(.3,.4,.5;.5,.4,.3;.1,.6,.4)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)ρ20,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)2,(.2,.1,.7;.6,.6,.5;.8,.4,.6)ρ30,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)1,(.5,.6,.7;.7,.5,.4;.4,.3,.1)ρ44,(.4,.3,.1;.4,.4,.2;.3,.4,0.5)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)ρ50,(0,0,0;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)2,(.4,.6,.2;.7,.3,.5;.7,.5,.3)ρ60,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)ρ75,(.6,.2,.55;.3,.1,.2;.4,.3,0.5)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)

The corresponding 3PDN6S matrix is (, A, 3, 6) = [aij, dij, bij]7×3

=(3,(.3,.4,.5;.5,.4,.3;.1,.6,.4)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)2,(.2,.1,.7;.6,.6,.5;.8,.4,.6)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)1,(.5,.6,.7;.7,.5,.4;.4,.3,.1)4,(.4,.3,.1;.4,.4,.2;.3,.4,0.5)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)2,(.4,.6,.2;.7,.3,.5;.7,.5,.3)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)5,(.6,.2,.55;.3,.1,.2;.4,.3,.5)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1))

Definition 3.4. Let A(m,N1) and B(m,N2) be MPDNNS sets over X. Then A(m,N1) is MPDNNS subset of B(m,N2), i.e., A(m,N1) ˜ B(m,N2), if

AB,

N1N2,

μi,A(ρ) ≤ μi,B(ρ), 1 ≤ im,

λi,A(ρ) ≥ λi,B(ρ), 1 ≤ im,

νi,A(ρ) ≥ νi,B(ρ), 1 ≤ im, and

lA(ρ) ≤ lB(ρ).

It is worth mentioning that A(m,N1) ˜ B(m,N2) it is not necessary each element of A(m,N1) is also in B(m,N2).

Definition 3.5. Let A(m,N1) and B(m,N2) be MPDNNS sets over X. Then A(m,N1) is MPDNNS equal of B(m,N2) i.e., A(m,N1) =˜ B(m,N2), if

A = B,

N1 = N2,

μi,A(ρ) = μi,B(ρ), 1 ≤ im,

λi,A(ρ) = λi,B(ρ), 1 ≤ im,

νi,A(ρ) = νi,B(ρ), 1 ≤ im, and

lA(ρ) = lB(ρ).

Proposition 3.1. If A(m,N) is any MPDNNS set over X, then

(i) ϕ(m,0) ˜ A(m,N),

(ii) A(m,N) ˜ E(m,N1).

Proof.

(i) The truth-membership, degree of indeterminacy and degree of falsity always fall in [0, 1] according to Definition 3.1 of MPDNNS set. So, 0 ≤ μi,A(ρ), νi,A(ρ) ≤ 1, λi,A(ρ)1, and grading value 0lA(ρ), ∀ ρX and 1 ≤ im.

Thus, it follows from Definitions 3.4 and 3.2 of null MPDNNS set ϕ(m,0). Hence, ϕ(m,0) ˜ A(m,N).

(ii) Clearly, μi,A(ρ) ≤ 1, νi,A(ρ) ≥ 0 and νi,A(ρ) ≥ 0 and grading value lA(ρ) ≤ N − 1 for all ρX and 1im. Thus, it follows from Definitions 3.4 and 3.3 of absolute MPDNNS set. Hence, A(m,N) ˜ E(m,N1).

Proposition 3.2. If A(m,N), B(m,N) and C(m,N) are MPDNNS sets over X, then

(i) A(m,N) ˜ A(m,N).

(ii) A(m,N) ˜ B(m,N) and B(m,N) ˜ C(m,N) A(m,N) ˜ C(m,N).

Definition 3.6. Let A(m,N1) and B(m,N2) be MPDNNS sets over X. Then their extended union is defined as C(m,N)=A(m,N1)E˜B(m,N2),

C(m,N)={(e,{ρ,lC(ρ)(μ1,C(ρ),μ2,C(ρ),,μm,C(ρ);λ1,C(ρ),λ2,C(ρ),λm,C(ρ);ν1,C(ρ),ν2,C(ρ),νm,C(ρ)})|eC,ρX,lC(ρ)L}

where,

C = AB,

• (m, N) = (m, max{N1, N2}),

μC(ρ) = max{μi,A(ρ), μi,B(ρ)}, 1 ≤ im,

λC(ρ) = min{λi,A(ρ), λi,B(ρ)} 1 ≤ im,

νC(ρ) = min{νi,A(ρ), νi,B(ρ)} 1 ≤ im, and

lC(ρ) = max{lA(ρ), lB(ρ)} ∀ eC.

Definition 3.7. Let A(m,N1) and B(m,N2) be MPDNNS sets over X. Then their restricted union is defined as D(m,N)=A(m,N1)R˜B(m,N2),

D(m,N)={(e,{ρ,lD(ρ)(μ1,D(ρ),μ2,D(ρ),,μm,D(ρ);λ1,D(ρ),λ2,D(ρ),λm,D(ρ);ν1,D(ρ),ν2,D(ρ),νm,D(ρ)})|eD,ρX,lD(ρ)L}

where,

D = AB,

(m,N) = (m, max{N1, N2}),

μD(ρ) = max{μi,A(ρ), μi,B(ρ)}, 1 ≤ im,

λD(ρ) = min{λi,A(ρ), λi,B(ρ)} 1 ≤ im,

νD(ρ) = min{νi,A(ρ), νi,B(ρ)} 1 ≤ im, and

lD(ρ) = max{lA(ρ), lB(ρ)} ∀ eD.

Example 3.2. Let X = {ρi: i = 1, 2,…, 8}, E = {ei: i = 1, 2, 3} and L = {0, 1, 2,…, 12}. Assume that A={e1,e3}E and B={e2,e3}E. Then

A(3,13)={(e1,{ρ2,11,(.1,.9,.7;.5,.3.2;.4,.6,.8),ρ5,9,(.2,.1,.2;.3,.4,.5;.6,.7,.8),

Proposition 4.1 Let A(m,N) be MPDNNS set, (m,0) be null MPDNNS and E(m,N1) absolute MPDNNS over X, then

(i) ((m,0))twc = E(m,N1).

(ii) (E(m,N1))twc = (m,0).

Remark 4.3. Again taking top weak complement of (A(3,13))twc given in Eq. (15) we have Eq. (17)

((A(3,13))twc)twc=(0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(.1,.9,.7;.5,.3,0.2;.4,.6,.8)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(.4,.3,.4;.5,.6,.8;.7,.6,.5)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(.5,.4,.5;.6,.7,.7;.6,.4,.2)0,(.2,.1,.2;.3,.4.5;.6,.7,.8)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(.6,.5,.6;.7,.8.9;.8,.7,.6)0,(.3,.4,.5;.6,.7,.6;.5,.4,.3)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)0,(0,0,0;1,1,1;1,1,1)) (17)

Hence from Eqs. (1) and (17) we conclude that ((A(3,13))twc)twcA(3,13). Hence we have the following result:

Remark 4.4. Let A(m,N) be MPDNNS set, over X, then ((A(m,N))twc)twcA(m,N).

The following proposed algorithm for the choice values of MPDNNSs:

An Algorithm for the Choice Values of MPDNNSs

1: S = {ρ1, ρ2,…, ρm} is the universal set.

2: T = {e1, e2,…, en} set of attributes.

3: Input MPDFNSs ψA(m,n) with N = {0, 1, 2,…, N − 1}.

4: Calculate Mim=(j=1mdαij,j=1mRaij). Here,

daij=12θaπ,Raij=12+ra(122θaπ),

ra=(μ12+μ22++μm2+λ12+λ22++λm2+ν12+ν22++νm2)1/2,

θa=Tan1(<(λ1,λ2,,λm),(ν1,ν2,,νm)>||(μ1,μ2,,μm)||),

where, <(λ1, λ2,…, λm), (ν1, ν2,…, νm)> = λ1ν1 + λ2ν2 + …, λmνm.

5: Calculate Mtm=max{Mim} with i = 1, 2,…, n.

6: Mtm=max{Mim} can be chosen for any alternative.

Example 5.1. We assume that there are five candidates which appear in the interview and their interviews will be completed in three days. There are three judges which are observed to each candidate separately. The following data are elaborated in Table 2, of each candidate ci, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 which are observed by from judges ji, i = 1, 2, 3.

In Table 3, we find the choice values of all candidates by using proposed algorithm.

From Table 4, the candidates c5, c2, c2 are leading with respect to days first, second, and third, respectively.

5.1 Relationships with Existing Sets

In this subsection, we establish the relationship with existing sets.

Definition 5.1. Let n be a threshold lies between 0 and N for the level, the PFNSS and PFSS over X associated with A(m,N) and n, symbolized by A(n,m,N), defined by, for all a ∈ A,

a(n,m,N)={x,(μ(a),ν(a)),if m=1,(x,da)(μ(a),ν(a)),if (x,da)F(a),anddan,(0,0.5),if da/N0.5,(0,1),if da/N<0.5.

Definition 5.2. Let k be a threshold with k ∈ [−1, 1] for the score function, the N-soft over X associated with A(m,N) and k, symbolized by A(k,m,N), defined by, for all a ∈ A,

a(k,m,N)={(x,da),if (x,da)F(a), and Sa(x)k,m=1,1,if Sa(x)>0,m=1,0,if Sa(x)0,m=1.

Definition 5.3. Let n be a threshold lies between 0 and N and threshold k with k ∈ [− 1, 1] for the score function, the soft over X associated with ψA(m,N) and (n, k), symbolized by A((n,k),m,N), defined by, for all a ∈ A,

A((n,k),1,N)={xX|Sa(n,1,N)(x)>k,}

For soft set associated with ψA(3,6) and threshold (n, k) = (3, 0.3) is A((3,0.3),1,6) = { }.

From Example 3.1, we have the following outcome which are elaborate in Table 5.

In Tables 6 and 7, we deduce Pythagorean fuzzy soft set and N-soft set from MPDFNSs.

6  Conclusion

In this paper, we investigate a new set namely the m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft set which is based on neutrosophic set and soft set. We are discussed different types of compliments on the proposed set and elaborate these compliments with examples. The purposed set is a generalized form of fuzzy, soft, Pythagorean fuzzy, Pythagorean fuzzy soft, and Pythagorean fuzzy N-soft sets. Moreover, as an application, we proposed an algorithm for multi-attribute decision-making problems by defining the new score function. In future work, one can discuss algebraic structures and topological properties on m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft set. Moreover, ones can develop the concept of m-polar Diophantine neutrosophic N-soft graph and then discuss their properties.
