1 Introduction

Let��=(��1,��1,��1) and��=(��2,��2,��2) be two single-valued neutrosophic numbers,where��1,��1,��1,��2,��2,��2∈[0,1], and0≤��1+��1+��1≤3 and0≤��2 +��2+��2≤3

Thefollowingoperationalrelationshavebeendefinedandmostlyusedinthe neutrosophicscientificliterature:

1.4 Neutrosophic Power

��⋋ =(��1 ⋋,1 (1 ��1)⋋,1 (1 ��1)⋋), (4) where⋋∈ℝ,and⋋>0.

2 Remarks

Actually, the neutrosophic scalar multiplication is an extension of neutrosophicsummation;inthelast,onehas⋋=2. Similarly, the neutrosophic power is an extension of neutrosophic multiplication;inthelast,onehas⋋=2. Neutrosophic summation of numbers is equivalent to neutrosophic union of sets,andneutrosophicmultiplicationofnumbersisequivalenttoneutrosophic intersectionofsets. That's why, both the neutrosophic summation and neutrosophic multiplication (and implicitly their extensions neutrosophic scalar multiplication and neutrosophic power) can be defined in many ways, i.e. equivalently to their neutrosophic union operators and respectively neutrosophicintersectionoperators. Ingeneral: ��⊕�� =(��1 ∨��2,��1 ∧��2,��1 ∧��2), (5) or ��⊕�� =(��1 ∨��2,��1 ∨��2,��1 ∨��2), (6) andanalogously: ��⊗�� =(��1 ∧��2,��1 ∨��2,��1 ∨��2) (7) or ��⊗�� =(��1 ∧��2,��1 ∧��2,��1 ∨��2), (8) where"∨"isthefuzzyOR(fuzzyunion)operator,defined,for��,�� ∈[0,1],in threedifferentways,as: �� 1 ∨�� =��+�� ����, (9) or �� 2 ∨�� =������{��,��}, (10) or �� 3 ∨�� =������{��+��,1}, (11) etc.

Subtraction and Division of Neutrosophic Numbers

for all��1,��1,��1,��2,��2,��2 ∈[0,1], with the restrictions that:��2 ≠1, ��2 ≠0, and ��2 ≠0

So,theneutrosophicsubtractiononlypartiallyworks,i.e.when��2 ≠1,��2 ≠0, and��2 ≠0

Therestrictionthat

(��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2)∈([0,1],[0,1],[0,1]) (22)

is set when the classical case when the neutrosophic number components ��,��,��areintheinterval[0,1].

But,forthegeneralcase,whendealingwithneutrosophicoverset/underset /offset[1],ortheneutrosophicnumbercomponentsareintheinterval[Ψ,Ω], whereΨiscalled underlimit andΩiscalled overlimit,withΨ≤0<1≤Ω,i.e. one has neutrosophic overnumbers / undernumbers / offnumbers, then the restriction(22)becomes:

(��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2)∈([Ψ,Ω],[Ψ,Ω],[Ψ,Ω]). (23)

3.1 Proof

The formula for the subtraction was obtained from the attempt to be consistentwiththeneutrosophicaddition.

Oneconsidersthemostusedneutrosophicaddition:

(��1,��1,��1)⊕(��2,��2,��2)=(��1 +��2 ��1��2,��1��2,��1��2), (24)

We consider the ⊖ neutrosophic operation the opposite of the ⊕ neutrosophic operation, as in the set of real numbers the classical subtraction is theoppositeoftheclassicaladdition+. Therefore,let'sconsider:

(��1,��1,��1)⊖(��2,��2,��2)=(��,��,��), (25) ⊕(��2,��2,��2) ⊕(��2,��2,��2) where��,��,�� ∈ℝ. Weneutrosophicallyadd⊕(��2,��2,��2)onbothsidesoftheequation.Weget: (��1,��1,��1)=(��,��,��)⊕(��2,��2,��2)=(��+��2 ����2,����2,����2). (26) Or, {

��1 =��+��2 ����2,whence�� = ��1 ��1 1 ��2 ; ��1 =����2,whence��= ��1 ��2 ; ��1 =����2,whence�� = ��1 ��2 .

3.2 Checking the Subtraction

With��=(��1,��1,��1),�� =(��2,��2,��2),and�� =(��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2), where��1,��1,��1,��2,��2,��2 ∈[0,1],and��2 ≠1,��2 ≠0,and��2 ≠0,wehave: ��⊖�� =��. (28) Then: ��⊕�� =(��2,��2,��2)⊕(��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2)=(��2 + ��1 ��2 1 ��2 ��2 ⋅ ��1 ��2 1 ��2 ,��2, ��1 ��2 ,��2, ��1 ��2)=(��2 ��2 2+��1 ��2 ��1��2+��2 1 ��2 ,��1,��1)= (��1(1 ��2) 1 ��2 ,��1,��1)=(��1,��1,��1). (29) ��⊖�� =(��1,��1,��1)⊖(��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2)=(��1 ��1 ��2 1 ��2 1 ��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��1 ��2 , ��1 ��1 ��2)= (��1 ��1��2 ��1+��2 1 ��2 1 ��2 ��1+��2 1 ��2 ,��2,��2)=( ��1��2+��2 1 ��2 ,��2,��2)= (��2( ��1+1) 1 ��2 ,��2,��2)=(��2,��2,��2) (30)

Similarly,thedivisionofneutrosophicnumbersonlypartiallyworks,i.e.when ��2 ≠0,��2 ≠1,and��2 ≠1.

(��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 1 ��2)∈([Ψ,Ω],[Ψ,Ω],[Ψ,Ω]). (33)

4.1 Proof

In the same way, the formula for division⊘of neutrosophic numbers was obtained from the attempt to be consistent with the neutrosophic multiplication.

We consider the ⊘ neutrosophic operation the opposite of the ⊗ neutrosophicoperation,asinthesetofrealnumberstheclassicaldivision÷ istheoppositeoftheclassicalmultiplication×

Oneconsidersthemostusedneutrosophicmultiplication: (��1,��1,��1)⊗(��2,��2,��2) =(��1��2,��1 +��2 ��1��2,��1 +��2 ��1��2), (34)

Thus,let'sconsider: (��1,��1,��1)⊘(��2,��2,��2)=(��,��,��), (35) ⨂(��2,��2,��2) ⨂(��2,��2,��2) where��,��,�� ∈ℝ

Weneutrosophicallymultiply⨂bothsidesby(��2,��2,��2).Weget (��1,��1,��1)=(��,��,��)⨂(��2,��2,��2) =(����2,��+��2 ����2,��+��2 ����2). (36) Or, {

��1 =����2,whence�� = ��1 ��2 ;: ��1 =��+��2 ����2,whence��= ��1 ��2 1 ��2 ; ��1 =��+��2 ����2,whence�� = ��1 ��2 1 ��2 .

With��=(��1,��1,��1),�� =(��2,��2,��2),and�� =(��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 1 ��2), where��1,��1,��1,��2,��2,��2 ∈[0,1],and��2 ≠0,��2 ≠1,and��2 ≠1,onehas: ��∗�� =��. (38)

Then: �� �� =(��2,��2,��2)×(��1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 1 ��2 , ��1 ��2 1 ��2)=(��2 ⋅ ��1 ��2 ,��2 + ��1 ��2 1 ��2 ��2 ⋅ ��1 ��2 1 ��2 ,��2 + ��1 ��2 1 ��2 ��2 ⋅ ��1 ��2 1 ��2)=
