Modeling Social Evolution, Involution, And Indeterminacy: A Neutrosophic-Cultural Algorithm Approach, Antonios Paraskevas, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Neutrosophic Sociology, or Neutrosociology, is the study of sociology using neutrosophic scientific methods for understanding the dynamics of social systems within complex environments. When a social change occurs, the society evolves with respect to some parameters, regresses with respect to others, and remains the same or experiences an unclear change (indeterminacy) with respect to another set of parameters. This mirrors neutrosophic logic: true (��), neutral or indeterminate (ℐ), and false (ℱ). The main concept of cultural algorithms is a generalization of the idea that evolution has at its base both racial learning within species and social learning within human societies. …

An Overview Of Neutrosophic Graphs, Nihar Ranjan Panda, Prasanta Kumar Raut, Amarendra Baral, Srikanta Kumar Sahoo, Sakya Singh Satapathy, Said Broumi

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

A new area of study called "neutrosophic graph theory" uses neutrosophic logic to expand on traditional graph theory to include ambiguous, indeterminate, and uncertain information. This paper gives a thorough introduction to neutrosophic graphs, including their definition, components, uses, and difficulties. Neutrosophic graphs let you show and analyze relationships that aren't clear-cut because they give vertices and edges different levels of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. Image processing, social network analysis, pattern recognition, and decision-making in the face of uncertainty all use neutrosophic graphs. However, we still need to resolve issues like interpretability and computational complexity. All things considered, neutrosophic graphs …
