A New Method for Solving Interval Neutrosophic Linear Programming Problems

Neutrosophic set theory is a generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy set which can be consideredas a powerful tool to express the indeterminacy and inconsistent information that exist commonlyin engineering applications and real meaningful science activities. In this paper an intervalneutrosophic linear programming (INLP) model will be presented, where its parameters arerepresented by triangular interval neutrosophic numbers (TINNs) and call it INLP problem.Afterward, by using a ranking function we present a technique to convert the INLP problem intoa crisp model and then solve it by standard methods.
