To solve the ssue, ths paper frstly troduces a refed smplfed eutrosophc set RSNS, whch cotas the refed sgle-valued eutrosophc set RSVNS ad refed terval eutrosophc set RINS, ad the proposes vector smlarty measures of RSNSs based o the Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures of smplfed eutrosophc sets vector space, ad the weghted Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures of RSNSs by cosderg weghts of both basc elemets ad sub-elemets RSNS. Further, a decso-makg method wth the weghts of both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes s developed based o the weghted Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures of RSNSs uder RSNS RINS ad/or RSVNS evromets. The rakg order of all the alteratves ad the best oe ca be determed by oe of weghted vector smlarty measures betwee each alteratve ad the deal soluto deal alteratve. Fally, a actual example o the selectg problem of costructo projects llustrates the applcato ad effectveess of the proposed method. Keywords: refed smplfed eutrosophc set; refed sgle-valued eutrosophc set; refed terval eutrosophc set; vector smlarty measure; decso-makg 1. Itroducto Sce fuzzy set theory was troduced by Zadeh [1] 1965, t has bee successfully appled to decso-makg areas, ad fuzzy decso-makg has become a research focal pot sce the. Wth the creasg complexty of decso-makg problems actual applcatos, the fuzzy set s ot sutable for fuzzy expresso, whch volves the membershp degree ad o-membershp degree. Hece, a tutostc fuzzy set IFS [2] ad a terval-valued IFS [3] were troduced as the geeralzato of fuzzy set ad appled to decso-makg problems. However, the complete, determate, ad cosstet problems real lfe caot be explaed by meas of the IFS ad terval-valued IFS. Therefore, Smaradache [4] proposed the cocept of a eutrosophc set from a phlosophcal pot of vew, whch cossts of the truth, determacy, ad falsty memershp fuctos, deoted by T, I, F, to represet complete, determate, ad cosstet formato the real world.

[5,6], ad Ye [7,8] costraed the three membershp degrees the eutrosophc set to the sgle-valued membershp degrees ad the terval membershp degrees. These become a sgle-valued eutrosophc set SVNS, a terval eutrosophc set INS, ad a smplfed eutrosophc set SNS cludg SVNS ad INS, respectvely. Obvously, they are subclasses of the eutrosophc set for coveet applcatos scece ad egeerg felds, such as decso-makg [7 13] ad fault dagoss [14]. However, because there are both argumets ad sub-argumets/refed argumets the truth, determacy, ad falsty membershp degrees of T, I, F the eutrosophc set to express complex problems of the real world detal, oe eeds to refe truth, determacy, ad falsty formato. Hece, Smaradache [15] further exteded the eutrosophc logc to -valued refed eutrosophc logc, where he refed/splt the truth, determacy, ad falsty fuctos T, I, F to T 1, T 2,..., T r, I 1, I 2,..., I s, ad F 1, F 2,..., F t, respectvely, ad costructed them as a -valued refed eutrosophc set. Moreover, some researchers exteded the eutrosophc set to mult-valued eutrosophc set/eutrosophc multset/eutrosophc refed sets ad appled them to medcal dagoses [16 18] ad decso-makg [19 21]. I fact, the mult-valued eutrosophc sets/eutrosophc refed sets are eutrosophc multsets ther expressed forms [22,23]. Hece, these mult-valued eutrosophc sets/eutrosophc refed sets, that s, eutrosophc multsets, ad ther decso-makg methods caot express ad deal wth decso-makg problems wth both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes. To solve the ssue, Ye ad Smaradache [22] proposed a refed sgle-valued eutrosophc set RSVNS, where the eutrosophc set {T, I, F} was refed to the RSVNS {T 1, T 2,..., T r, I 1, I 2,..., I r, F 1, F 2,..., F r }, ad proposed the smlarty measures based o uo ad tersecto operatos of RSVNSs to solve decso-makg problems wth both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes. The, Fa ad Ye [23] further preseted the cose measures of RSVNSs ad refed terval eutrosophc sets RINSs based the dstace ad cose fucto ad appled them to the decso-makg problems wth both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes uder refed sgle-value/terval eutrosophc evromets. However, these cose measures caot hadle such a decso-makg problem wth the weghts of both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes. I fact, RINSs ad/or RSVNSs are scarcely studed ad appled scece ad egeerg felds. Therefore, t s ecessary to develop ew smlarty measures ad ther decso-makg method refed terval ad/or sgle-value eutrosophc evromets. However, exstg lterature [22,23], the smlarty measures of RSVNSs ad RINSs ad ther decso-makg methods oly took to accout the basc elemet sgle-valued/terval eutrosophc umber RSVNS/RINS/attrbute weghts rather tha sub-elemet/sub-attrbute weghts weghts of refed elemets/refed attrbutes the measures of RSVNSs ad RINSs ad ther decso-makg methods. To overcome these drawbacks, ths paper frstly troduces a refed smplfed eutrosophc set RSNS, whch cludes the cocepts of RSVNS ad RINS, ad proposes the vector smlarty measures of RSNSs based o the Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures betwee SNSs vector space [8]. Further, a decso-makg method s establshed based o the Jaccard/Dce/cose measures betwee RSNSs to solve multple attrbute decso-makg problems wth both attrbute weghts ad sub-attrbute weghts uder refed smplfed terval ad/or sgle-value eutrosophc evromets. The ma advatages of the proposed approach are that t ca solve decso-makg problems wth the weghts of both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes ad exted exstg smlarty measures ad decso-makg methods [22,23], because the exstg smlarty measures ad decso-makg methods caot deal wth such a decso-makg problem wth the weghts of both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes uder RSNS RINS ad/or RSVNS evromets. The rest of the paper s structured as follows. Secto 2 revews basc cocepts of SNSs ad vector smlarty measures of SNSs. I Secto 3, we troduces a RSNS cocept, cludg RSVNS ad RINS.

Fally, coclusos ad future research are cotaed Secto 7. 2. Basc Cocepts of SNSs ad Vector Smlarty Measures of SNSs I 1995, Smaradache [4] proposed a cocept of eutrosophc sets from a phlosophcal pot of vew, whch s a part of eutrosophy ad exteds the cocepts of fuzzy sets, terval valued fuzzy sets, IFSs, ad terval valued IFSs. A eutrosophc set s characterzed depedetly by the truth, determacy ad falsty membershp fuctos, whch le a real stadard terval [0, 1] or a ostadard terval ] 0, 1 + [. For coveet scece ad egeerg applcatos, we eed to costra them the real stadard terval [0, 1] from a scece ad egeerg pot of vew. Thus, Ye [7,8] troduced the cocept of SNS as a smplfed form/subclass of the eutrosophc set. A SNS A a uverse of dscourse X s characterzed by ts truth, determacy, ad falsty membershp fuctos T A x, I A x, ad F A x, whch s deoted as A = { x, T A x, I A x, F A x x X}, where T A x, I A x ad F A x are sgleto subtervals/subsets the real stadard [0, 1], such that T A x: X [0, 1], I S x: X [0, 1], ad F S x: X [0, 1]. The, the SNS A cotas SVNS for T A x, I A x, F A x [0, 1] ad INS for T A x, I A x, F A x [0, 1]. For coveet expresso, a basc elemet x, T A x, I A x, F A x A s smply deoted as a smplfed eutrosophc umber SNN a = <T a, I a, F a >, where a cotas a sgle-value eutrosophc umber SVNN for T a, I a, F a [0, 1] ad a terval eutrosophc umber INN for T a, I a, F a [0, 1]. Assume that two SNSs are A ={a 1, a 2,..., a } ad B ={b 1, b 2,..., b }, where a j = <T aj, I aj, F aj > ad b j = <T bj, I bj, F bj > fo = 1, 2,..., are two collectos of SNNs. Based o the Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures betwee two vectors, Ye [8] preseted the ther smlarty measures betwee SNSs SVNSs ad INSs A ad B vector space, respectvely, as follows: 1 Three vector smlarty measures betwee A ad B for SVNSs: M J A, B = 1 [ Taj 2 + I2 aj + F2 aj + M D A, B = 1 T aj T bj + I aj I bj + F aj F bj ] Tbj 2 + I2 bj + 1 F2 bj T aj T bj + I aj I bj + F aj F bj 2 T aj T bj + I aj I bj + F aj F aj T 2 aj + I2 aj + F2 aj + Tbj 2 + I2 bj + 2 F2 bj M C A, B = 1 T aj T bj + I aj I bj + F aj F bj Taj 2 + I2 aj + F2 aj Tbj 2 + I2 bj + F2 bj 3 2 Three vector smlarty measures betwee A ad B for INSs: M J A, B = 1 M D A, B = 1 ft aj ft bj + supt aj supt bj + fi aj fi bj + supi aj supi bj + ff aj ff bj + supf aj supf bj ft aj 2 + fi aj 2 + ff aj 2 + supt aj 2 + supi aj 2 + supf aj 2 +ft bj 2 + fi bj 2 + ff bj 2 + supt bj 2 + supi bj 2 + supf bj 2 ft aj ft bj + fi aj fi bj + ff aj ff bj supt aj supt bj + supi aj supi bj + supf aj supf bj 2 ft aj ft bj + fi aj fi bj + ff aj ff bj + supt aj supt bj + supi aj supi bj + supf aj supf bj ftaj 2 + fi aj 2 + ff aj 2 + supt aj 2 + supi aj 2 + supf aj 2 +ft bj 2 + fi bj 2 + ff bj 2 + supt bj 2 + supi bj 2 + supf bj 2 4 5

The, the Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures M k A, B k = J, D, C cotas the followg propertes [8]: P1 0 M k A, B 1; P2 M k A, B = M k B, A; P3 M k A, B = 1 f A = B,.e., T aj, = T bj, I aj = I bj, ad F aj = F bj fo = 1, 2,...,. 3. Refed Smplfed Neutrosophc Sets As the cocept of SNS [7,8], a SNS A a uverse of dscourse X s deoted as A = { x, T A x, I A x, F A x x X}, where the values of ts truth, determacy, ad falsty membershp fuctos T A x, I A x ad F A x for x X are sgle-value ad/or terval values [0, 1]. The, SNS cota INS ad/or SVNS. If the compoets T A x, I A x, F A x SNS are refed splt to T A x 1, T A x 2,..., T A x r, I A x 1, I A x 2,..., I A x r, ad F A x 1, F A x 2,..., F A x r, respectvely, for x X, x = {x 1, x 2,..., x r }, ad a postve teger r, the they ca be costructed as RSNS by the refemet of SNS, whch s defed below. Defto 1. Let X be a uverse of dscourse, the a RSNS A X ca be defed as A = { x, T A x 1, T A x 2,..., T A x r, I A x 1, I A x 2,..., I A x r, F A x 1, F A x 2,..., F A x r x X, xj x }, where T A x 1, T A x 2,..., T A x r, I A x 1, I A x 2,..., I A x r, F A x 1, F A x 2,..., F A x r for x X, x j x = {x 1, x 2,..., x r } j = 1, 2,..., r, ad a postve teger r are subtervals/subsets the real stadard terval [0, 1], such that T A x 1, T A x 2,..., T A x r : X [0, 1], I A x 1, I A x 2,..., I A x r : X [0, 1], ad F A x 1, F A x 2,..., F A x r : X [0, 1]. The, the RSNS A cotas the followg two cocepts: 1 If T A x 1, T A x 2,..., T A x r [0, 1], I A x 1, I A x 2,..., I A x r [0, 1], ad F A x 1, F A x 2,..., F A x r [0, 1] A for x X ad x j x j =1, 2,..., r are cosdered as sgle/exact values [0, 1], the A reduces to RSVNS [22], whch satsfes the codto 0 T A x j + I A x j + F A x j 3 fo = 1, 2,..., r; 2 If T A x 1, T A x 2,..., T A x r [0, 1], I A x 1, I A x 2,..., I A x r [0, 1], ad F A x 1, F A x 2,..., F A x r [0, 1] A for x X ad x j x j =1, 2,..., r are cosdered as terval values [0, 1], the A reduces to RINS [23], whch satsfes the codto 0 supt A x j + supi A x j + supf A x j 3 fo = 1, 2,..., r. Partcularly whe the lower ad upper lmts of T A x j = [f T A x j, sup T A x j ], I A x j = [f I A x j, sup I A x j ] ad F A x j = [f F A x j, sup F A x j ] A for x X ad x j x j = 1, 2,..., r are equal, the RINS A reduces to the RSVNS A. Clearly, RSVNS s a specal case of RINS. If some lower ad upper lmts of T A x j = [f T A x j, sup T A x j ]/I A x j = [f I A x j, sup I A x j ]/F A x j = [f F A x j, sup F A x j ] RINS are equal, the t ca be deoted as a specal terval equal terval of the lower ad upper lmts T A x j = [T A x j, T A x j ]/I A x j = [I A x j, I A x j ]/F A x j = [F A x j, F A x j ]. Hece, RINS ca cota RINS ad/or SVNS formato hybrd formato of both.

Although the same computatoal complexty decso-makg algorthms s show by comparso of the method of ths study wth the related methods troduced [22,23], the developed method ths study exteds the methods [22,23] ad s more feasble ad more geeral tha the exstg related decso-makg methods [22,23]. It s obvous that the ew developed decso-makg method a RSNS RINS ad/or SVNS settg s superor to the exstg related methods a RINS or SVNS settg [22,23]. Compared wth tradtoal decso-makg approaches wthout sub-attrbutes [7 13,19 21], the decso-makg approach proposed ths study ca deal wth decso-makg problems wth both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes; whle tradtoal decso-makg approaches [7 13,19 21] caot deal wth such a decso-makg problem wth both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes. Hece, the proposed decso-makg approach s superor to tradtoal oes [7 13,19 21]. However, the study ths paper provdes ew three vector measures ad ther decso-makg method as the ma cotrbutos due to o study of exstg lterature o the vector smlarty measures ad decso-makg methods wth RSNSs RSVNSs ad/or RINSs. Clearly, the ma advatages of ths study are that t ca solve decso-makg problems wth the weghts of both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes, whch all exstg methods caot deal wth, ad exted exstg smlarty measures ad decso-makg methods. To aalyze the sestvtes of the proposed approach, let us chage the RINS of the alteratve A 4 to the RSNS A 4 = {<[0.7,0.7], [0.6,0.6], [0.2,0.2], [0.2,0.2], [0.3,0.3], [0.3,0.3]>, <[0.7,0.8], [0.8,0.9], [0.7,0.8], [0.2,0.3], [0.2,0.3], [0.1,0.2], [0.1,0.2], [0.2,0.3], [0.2,0.3]>, <[0.7,0.8], [0.7,0.8], [0.2,0.3], [0.3,0.4], [0.2,0.3], [0.3,0.4]> wth hybrd formato of both RSVNNs ad RINNs. The, by above smlar computato steps, we ca obta all the measure values, whch are show Table 6. Table 6. All the measure values betwee A = 1, 2, 3, 4 ad A * for RSNSs ad rakg orders of the four alteratves.

Clearly, the decso-makg approach based o the Jaccard ad Dce measures shows some sestvty ths case. However, the rakg order based o R WC A, A * stll keeps the prevous rakg order, ad the the decso-makg approach based o the cose measure shows some robustess/sestvty ths case. I actual decso-makg problems, decso-makers ca select oe of three vector measures of RSNSs to apply t to multple attrbute decso-makg problems wth weghts of attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes accordg to ther preferece ad actual requremets. 7. Coclusos Ths paper troduced RSNSs, cludg the cocepts of RSVNSs ad RINSs, ad proposed the vector smlarty measures of RSNSs, cludg the Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures betwee RSNSs RSVNSs ad RINSs vector space. It the preseted the weghted Jaccard, Dce, ad cose measures betwee RSNSs RSVNSs ad RINSs by cosderg the weghts of basc elemets

Further, we establshed a decso-makg method based o the weghted Jaccard/Dce/cose measures of RSNSs RSVNSs ad RINSs to deal wth multple attrbute decso-makg problems wth both attrbute weghts ad sub-attrbute weghts uder RSNS RINS ad/or RSVNS evromets. I the decso-makg process, through the Jaccard/Dce/cose measures betwee each alteratve ad the deal alteratve, the rakg order of all alteratves ad the best oe ca be determed based o the measure values. Fally, a actual example o the decso-makg problem of costructo projects wth RSNS RSVNS ad/or RINS formato s provded to demostrate the applcato ad effectveess of the proposed method. The proposed approach s very sutable for actual applcatos decso-makg problems wth weghts of both attrbutes ad sub-attrbutes uder RSNS RINS ad/or RSVNS evromets, ad provdes a ew decso-makg method. I the future, we shall further exted the proposed method to group decso-makg, clusterg aalyss, medcal dagoss, fault dagoss, ad so forth.
