Interval Neutrosophic Prioritized OWA Operator and Its Application to Multiple Attribute Decision Making

On the basis of prioritized aggregated operator and prioritized ordered weighted average (POWA) operator, in this paper, the authors further present interval neutrosophic prioritized ordered weighted aggregation (INPOWA) operator with respect to interval neutrosophic numbers (INNs). Firstly, the definition, operational laws, characteristics, expectation and comparative method of INNs are introduced. Then, the INPOWA operator is developed, and some properties of the operator are analyzed. Furthermore, based on the INPOWA operator and the comparative formula of the INNs, an approach to decision making with INNs is established. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
