An Efficient Optimal Solution Method for Neutrosophic Transport Models: Analysis, Improvements, and Examples

Abstract

Transport issues aim to determine the number of units that will be transferred from the production centers to consumption areas so that the cost of transportation is as low as possible, taking into account the conditions of supply and demand. Due to the great importance of these issues and to obtain more accurate results that take into account all circumstances, we conducted two research studies. In the first research, we presented a formulation of neutrosophic transport issues, and in the second research, we presented some ways to find a preliminary solution to these issues, but we do not know whether the preliminary solution is optimal or not, so we will present in this research a study whose purpose is to shed light on some important methods used to improve the optimal solution to transportation issues and then reformulating them using the concepts of neutrosophic science, a science that leaves nothing to chance or circumstances but rather provides solutions with neutrosophic values. Unspecified values take into account the best and worst conditions.
