A Novel Similarity Measure of Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets Based on Modified Manhattan Distance and Its Applications

Abstract

A single-valued neutrosophic (SVN) set contains three parameters, which can well describe three aspects of an objective thing. However, most previous similarity measures of SVN sets often encounter some counter-intuitive examples. Manhattan distance is a well-known distance, which has been applied in pattern recognition, image analysis, ad-hoc wireless sensor networks, etc. In order to develop suitable distance measures, a new distance measure of SVN sets based on modified Manhattan distance is constructed, and a new distance-based similarity measure also is put forward. Then some applications of the proposed similarity measure are introduced. First, we introduce a pattern recognition algorithm. Then a multi-attribute decision-making method is proposed, in which a weighting method is developed by building an optimal model based on the proposed similarity measure. Furthermore, a clustering algorithm is also put forward. Some examples are also used to illustrate these methods.
