A Similarity Measures-Based TOPSIS Method for Neutrosophic Hypersoft Set with Application in Crop Production

2026

Abstract

Neutrosophic sets and hypersoft sets are both fuzzy set extensions that deal with various aspects of uncertainty and missing data. Combining these two frameworks within Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) allows choosing an optimal solution from a wide range of scenarios and alternatives. TOPSIS is a significant practical method for evaluating and selecting numerous possibilities, which ranks preferences according to how closely they resemble the ideal solution. This study used similarity and distance measures for NHSS and aggregate NHSS decision matrices by employing aggregation operators. The proposed NHSS-TOPSIS technique was used to assess the fertility of the soil for the production of specific crops. Multiple criteria were considered to make decisions regarding crop production based on soil conditions and other factors. This work can be further broadened to various existing hybrids of hypersoft sets, such as Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypersoft Sets (IFHSS), Pythagorean Fuzzy Hypersoft Sets (PFHSS), Bipolar fuzzy hypersoft sets, Pythagorean Fuzzy Hypersoft Matrices (PFHSM), and neutrosophic hybrids.

Crop rotation

Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of different types of crops in the same area across a sequence of growing seasons. This practice reduces the reliance of crops on one set of nutrients, pest and weed pressure, along with the probability of developing resistant pests and weeds. Growing the same crop in the same place for many years in a row, known as monocropping, gradually depletes the soil of certain nutrients and selects for both a highly competitive pest and weed community.

Multiple-criteria decision analysis

Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) or multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a sub-discipline of operations research that explicitly evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision making (both in daily life and in settings such as business, government and medicine). Conflicting criteria are typical in evaluating options: cost or price is usually one of the main criteria, and some measure of quality is typically another criterion, easily in conflict with the cost.

Cash crop

A cash crop, also called profit crop, is an agricultural crop which is grown to sell for profit. It is typically purchased by parties separate from a farm. The term is used to differentiate marketed crops from staple crop ("subsistence crop") in subsistence agriculture, which are those fed to the producer's own livestock or grown as food for the producer's family. In earlier times, cash crops were usually only a small (but vital) part of a farm's total yield, while today, especially in developed countries and among smallholders almost all crops are mainly grown for revenue.
