The escalation of COVID-19 curves is high and the researchers worldwide are working on diagnostic models, in the way this article proposes COVID-19 diagnostic model using Plithogenic cognitive maps. This paper introduces the new concept of Plithogenic sub cognitive maps including the mediating effects of the factors. The thirteen study factors are categorized as grouping factors, parametric factors, risks factors and output factor. The effect of one factor over another is measured directly based on neutrosophic triangular representation of expert’s opinion and indirectly by computing the mediating factor’s effects. This new approach is more realistic in nature as it takes the mediating effects into consideration together with contradiction degree of the factors. The possibility of children, adult and old age with risk factors and parametric factors being infected by corona virus is determined by this diagnostic model.The escalation of COVID-19 curves is high and the researchers worldwide are working on diagnostic models, in the way this article proposes COVID-19 diagnostic model using Plithogenic cognitive maps.

Abstract
If R is a ring, then Rn(I) is called a refined neutrosophic ring. Every AH-subset of Rn(I) has the form P = ∑ni=0 p i Ii= {a0+a1I+⋯+anIn: ai∈p i}, where p i are subsets of the classical ring R. The objective of this paper is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions on p i which ...

The objective of this paper is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions on p i which make P be an ideal of Rn(I). Also, this work introduces a full description of the algebraic structure and form for AH-maximal and minimal ideals in Rn(I).

In real life situations, there are many issues in which we face uncertainties, vagueness, complexities and unpredictability. Neutrosophic sets are a mathematical tool to address some issues which cannot be met using the existing methods. Neutrosophic soft matrices play a crucial role in handling indeterminant and inconsistent information during decision making process. The main focus of this article is to discuss the concept of neutrosophic sets, neutrosophic soft sets and neutrosophic soft matrices theory which are very useful and applicable in various situations involving uncertainties and imprecisions. Thereafter our intention is to find a new method for constructing a decision matrix using neutrosophic soft matrices as an application of the theory. A neutrosophic soft matrix based algorithm is considered to solve some problems in the diagnosis of a disease from the occurrence of various symptoms in patients. This article deals with patient-symptoms and symptoms-disease neutrosophic soft matrices. To come to a decision, a score matrix is defined where multiplication based on max-min operation and complementation of neutrosophic soft matrices are taken into considerations.

Statistics mainly concerned with data that may be qualitative or quantitative. Earlier we have used the notion of statistics in the classical sense where we assign values that are crisp. But in reality, we find some areas where the crisp concept is not sufficient to solve the problem. So, it seems difficult to assign a definite value for each parameter. For this, fuzzy sets and logic have been introduced to give the flexibility to analyze and classify statistical data. Moreover, we may come across such parameters that are indeterminate, uncertain, imprecise, incomplete, unknown, unsure, approximate, and even completely unknown. Intuitionistic fuzzy set explain uncertainty at some extent. But itis not sufficient to study all sorts of uncertainty present in real-life. It means that there exists data which are neutrosophic in nature. So, neutrosophic data plays a significant role to study the concept of indeterminacy present in a data without any restriction. The main objective of preparing this article is to highlighting the importance of neutrosophication of statistical data in a study to assess the symptoms related to Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs) or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among women by sampling estimation.

Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (IT2 FLSs) have shown popularity, superiority, and more accuracy in performance in a number of applications in the last decade. This is due to its ability to cope with uncertainty and precisions adequately when compared with its type-1 counterpart. In this paper, an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (IT2FLS) is employed for remote vital signs monitoring and predicting of shock level in cardiac patients. Also, the conventional, Type-1 Fuzzy Logic System (T1FLS) is applied to the prediction problems for comparison purpose. The cardiac patients’ health datasets were used to perform empirical comparison on the developed system. The result of study indicated that IT2FLS could coped with more information and handled more uncertainties in health data than T1FLS. The statistical evaluation using performance metrices indicated a minimal error with IT2FLS compared to its counterpart, T1FLS. It was generally observed that the shock level prediction experiment for cardiac patients showed the superiority of IT2FLS paradigm over T1FLS.

One of the most important issues concerning the designing a supply chain is selecting the supplier. Selecting proper suppliers is one of the most crucial activities of an organization towards the gradual improvement and a promotion in performance. This intricacy is because suppliers fulfil a part of customer’s expectancy and selecting among them is multi-criteria decision, which needs a systematic and organized approach without which this decision may lead to failure. The purpose of this research is proposing a new method for assessment and rating the suppliers. We have identified several evaluation criteria and attributes; the selection among them was by the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) method, then we have specified the connection and the influence of the criteria on each other by DEMATEL method. After that, suppliers were graded by using the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP) approach and the most efficient one was selected. The innovation of this research is combining the SMART method, DEMATEL method, and Analytical Network Process in Fuzzy state which lead to more exact and efficient results which is proposed for the first time by the researchers of this study.

Transportation Problem (TP) is an important network structured linear programming problem that arises in several contexts and has deservedly received a great deal of attention in the literature. The central concept in this problem is to find the least total transportation cost of a commodity in order to satisfy demands at destinations using available supplies at origins in a crisp environment. In real life situations, the decision maker may not be sure about the precise values of the coefficients belonging to the transportation problem. The aim of this paper is to introduce a formulation of TP involving Triangular fuzzy numbers for the transportation costs and values of supplies and demands. We propose a two-step method for solving fuzzy transportation problem where all of the parameters are represented by non-negative triangular fuzzy numbers i.e., an Interval Transportation Problems (TPIn) and a Classical Transport Problem (TP). Since the proposed approach is based on classical approach it is very easy to understand and to apply on real life transportation problems for the decision makers. To illustrate the proposed approach two application examples are solved. The results show that the proposed method is simpler and computationally more efficient than existing methods in the literature.
