Abstract: In this paper we define some new operations on fuzzy neutrosophic soft matrices and their
properties which are more functional to make theoretical studies. We finally construct a decision
making method which can be applied to the problems that contain uncertainties.
Keywords: Soft sets, Fuzzy Neutrosophic soft set and Fuzzy Neutrosophic soft matrices.

1. Introduction:
In 1999, [9] Molodtsov initiated the novel concept of soft set theory which is a completely
new approach for modeling vagueness and uncertainty. In [4] Maji et al. initiated the concept
of fuzzy soft sets with some properties regarding fuzzy soft union , intersection, complement
of fuzzy soft set. Moreover in [5],[6] Maji et al extended soft sets to intuitionistic fuzzy soft
sets and Neutrosophic soft sets and the concept of Neutrosophic set was initiated by
Smarandache [11] which is a generalization of fuzzy logic and several related systems.
Neutrosophic sets and logic are the foundations for many theories which are more general
than their classical counterparts in fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy and interval valued frameworks.
One of the important theory of mathematics which has a vast application in science and
engineering is the theory of matrices. In [12] Yong et al. initiated a matrix representation of
fuzzy soft set and applied it in decision making problems. In [8] Manoj Bora et al introduced
the intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrices and applied in the application of medical diagnosis. In
this paper we have introduced some new operations on fuzzy neutrosophic soft matrices and
some related properties have been established.
2. Preliminaries:
Definition 2.1: [9]
Suppose U is an universal set and E is a set of parameters, Let P(U) denote the power set of
U. A pair (F, E) is called a soft set over U where F is a mapping given by F: EP(U).
Clearly, a soft set is a mapping from parameters to P(U) and it is not a set, but a
parameterized family of subsets of the universe.
Definition 2.2:[1]
A Fuzzy Neutrosophic set A on the universe of discourse X is defined as
A= , , , , where , , : [0, 1] and 0 TA ( x) I A ( x) FA ( x) 3

Definition 2.3:[1]
Let U be the initial universe set and E be a set of parameters. Consider a non-empty set A, A
E. Let P (U) denote the set of all fuzzy neutrosophic sets of U. The collection
(F, A) is
termed to be the fuzzy neutrosophic soft set over U, where F is a mapping given by
F: A P(U).
Definition 2.4:[2]
Let U = { c1, c2, cm} be the universal set and E be the set of parameters given by E
= {e1, e2, . en}. Let A E. A pair (F, A) be a Fuzzy Neutrosophic soft set over U. Then
the subset of U x E is defined by RA = { (u, e) ; eA, u fA(e)} which is called a relation
form of (fA ,E). The membership function , indeterminacy membership function and non
membership function are written by
FR : U E [0,1]
A
where
TR (u, e) [0,1]
A
TR : U E [0,1]
A
I R (u, e) [0,1]
A
I R : U E [0,1]
and
FR (u, e) [0,1]
A
and
are the
membership value, indeterminacy value and non membership value respectively of u U for
each eE.
If [(Tij , Iij , Fij)] = (Tij(ui , ej) , Iij(ui , ej) , Fij(ui , ej)) we can define a matrix

which is called an m x n Fuzzy Neutrosophic Soft Matrix of the FNSS (fA , E) over U.
Definition 2.5:[2]
Let U = { c1, c2, cm} be the universal set and E be the set of parameters given by E
= {e1, e2, . en}. Let A E. A pair (F, A) be a fuzzy neutrosophic soft set. Then fuzzy
neutrosophic soft set (F, A) in a matrix form as Am x n = [aij]m x n or A = [aij] , i=1,2,.m, j =

Example:
Suppose there are five suppliers U={u1, u2, u3, u4, u5} whose core competencies are evaluated
by means of parameters E = A = {e1, e2, e3} where e1 = level of technology innovation, e2 =
the ability of the management and e3 = level of service. Suppose a manufacturing company
which wants to select the best supplier according to the core competencies. A fuzzy
neutrosophic soft set is given by
(F,A) =
{{F(e1) = {(u1,0.5,0.6,0.4), (u2,0.9,0.4,0.1), (u3,0.6,0.4,0.2), (u4,0.6,0.4,0.2), (u5,0.4,0.5,0.3)}

If we prefer to give weights 0.8, 0.1 and 0.1 on the parameters e1, e2 and e3 respectively then
the weighted arithmetic mean is given by

Form the above results , it is clear that if we give equal preference for the parameters , we
have u4 is the best alternative and when we give more preference on level of technology
innovation, then we have same u2 is the best alternative.
5. Conclusion:
Soft set theory is a general method for solving problems of uncertainty. In this paper, we
define Fuzzy Neutrosophic soft matrices and their operations which are more functional to
improve several new results. Finally we have given one application for decision making
based on arithmetic mean.
