Neutrosophic number (NN) is an important tool which is used to express indeterminate evaluation information. The purpose of the paper is to propose some aggregation operators based on neutrosophic number, which are used to handle multiple attribute group decision making problems. Firstly, we introduce the definition, the properties and the operational laws of the neutrosophic numbers, and the possibility degree function is briefly introduced. Then, some neutrosophic number operators are proposed, such as the neutrosophic number weighted arithmetic averaging (NNWAA) operator, the neutrosophic number ordered weighted arithmetic averaging (NNOWAA) operator, the neutrosophic number hybrid weighted arithmetic averaging (NNHWAA) operator, the neutrosophic number weighted geometric averaging (NNWGA) operator, the neutrosophic number ordered weighted geometric averaging (NNOWGA) operator, the neutrosophic number hybrid weighted geometric averaging (NNHWGA) operator, the neutrosophic number generalized weighted averaging (NNGWA) operator, the neutrosophic number generalized ordered weighted averaging (NNGOWA) operator, the neutrosophic number generalized hybrid weighted averaging (NNGHWA) operator. Furthermore, some properties of these operators are discussed. Moreover, a multiple attribute group decision making method based on the NNGHWA operator is proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is proposed to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the method.
