Summary: This study introduces the concept of neutrosophic multi-valued sets and proposes a method to transform them into consistency single-valued neutrosophic sets, allowing for better expression and operation of different lengths/cardinalities of neutrosophic multi-valued elements. Two correlation coefficients and a decision-making approach are established based on this transformation, and the effectiveness and rationality of the method are demonstrated through an illustrative example and comparison with existing methods.

Summary: This study proposes a simplified neutrosophic indeterminate set (SNIS) to describe the uncertainty degrees of truth, falsity, and indeterminacy, and introduces q-indeterminate correlation coefficients of SNISs for multicriteria decision-making. Decision makers' risk attitudes, such as small risk for q = 0, moderate risk for q = 0.5, and large risk for q = 1, are taken into consideration, demonstrating practicality and flexibility in the SNIS setting.

Summary: This paper presents an extension of the single-valued neutrosophic set by incorporating the features of exponential and logarithmic parameters. The proposed set, named exponential-logarithm single-valued neutrosophic set, includes a character parameter that allows decision-makers to make decisions according to their needs. Various weighted operators are defined to aggregate information, and the characteristics of these operators are illustrated. The paper also introduces a new exponential entropy measure and investigates the impact of membership degrees. Furthermore, a multi-attribute group decision-making algorithm is constructed, and its performance is compared with existing studies through case studies.
