1. Introduction
The application of a newly suggested fuzzy algebraic structure has the effect of eliminating the limits that were previously imposed on previously developed fuzzy algebra structures. Due to the abundance of ambiguity and uncertainty in many parts of day-to-day life, the application of regular mathematics is not always practicable and may not even be possible at all in certain situations. In the process of resolving issues of this nature, the application of a wide range of fuzzy algebraic structures, such as fuzzy subgroups, fuzzy rings, fuzzy sub-fields, and fuzzy submodules, amongst others, has the potential to be of tremendous guidance. This is because these fuzzy algebraic structures are capable of representing a number of different types of information. The use of svns, which is a robust and all-encompassing formal framework, leads to the extension of both the fuzzy set and the intuitionistic fuzzy set, which are both categories of fuzzy sets.
1980 is the year in which Smarandache is credited with establishing neutrosophy as a distinct topic within the study of philosophy. It serves as the foundation upon which other academic disciplines such as philosophical logic, probability, set theory, and statistical analysis are constructed. As a consequence of this, he came up with the theory of neutrosophic logic and set, which provides an approximation of every statement of neutrosophic logic with the benefits of truth in the subcategory T, indeterminacy value in the subcategory I, and falsehood in the subcategory F. In light of the fact that the fuzzy set theory can only be used to depict situations in which there is uncertainty, the neutrosophic theory is the only viable option for describing scenarios in which there is indeterminacy. In [
1], Smarandache provided an explanation of the neutrosophic idea, and in [
2] Wang provided additional information on single-valued neutrosophic sets.
Researchers have already done extensive research on fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [
3,
4,
5,
6], fuzzy logics [
7,
8,
9], paraconsistent sets [
10,
11], fuzzy groups [
12,
13,
14,
15], complex fuzzy sets [
16,
17,
18], fuzzy subrings and ideals [
19,
20,

25], single-valued neutrosophic graphs and lattices [
26,
27,
28], single-valued neutrosophic algebras [
29,
30] and many more interesting fields.
The neutrosophic theory ultimately led to the development of the algebraic neutrosophic structural principle. Kandasamy and Smarandache described shifts in the paradigm of algebraic structure theory in their paper, which may be found in [
1,
2]. The term “svns” is used to characterize them in addition to the terms “algebraic structures” and “topological structures” [
31,
32,
33]. This concept was utilized by Çetkin, Aygün, and Çetkin in the context of neutrosophic subgroups [
34], neutrosophic subrings [
35], and neutrosophic submodules [
36,
37] of a certain classical group, ring, and module. Several recent research works on the process of group decision making with a variety of different characteristics are described in [
38,
39,
40,
41].
The motivation of the proposed concept is explained as follows: To present a more generalized concept, i.e., (1) -single-valued neutrosophic set; (2) -single-valued neutrosophic submodules; (3) Under triplet structure, the intersection of a finite number of svnsm is also -svnsm, but union may not be; (4) Several fundamental examples are provided for the superiority of this article.
Note that, clearly, , which shows that our proposed definition can be converted into a single-valued neutrosophic set. The purpose of this paper is to present the study of single-valued neutrosophic submodules under triplet structure as a generalization of submodules, as a powerful extension of single-valued neutrosophic sets, as we know that modules are among the most basic and extensive algebraic structures that are researched in terms of a number of different binary operations.
Within the scope of this study, we analyze the idea of single-valued neutrosophic submodules under a triplet structure, as well as the noteworthy notions and characterizations offered in relation to this issue. In addition, we investigate the fundamental aspects of the ideas that are being presented.
We also demonstrate that svnsm must be
-svnsm of module M, but
-svnsm may not be a svnsm of module M. The article is organized as follows: in
Section 2, we explain several basic ideas for svns.
Section 3 explains the concept of
-svnsm and some idealistic findings.
3. Single-Valued Neutrosophic Submodules under Triplet Structure
We define and investigate the basic properties and characterizations of a -svnm and -svnsm of a given classical module over a ring in this section. We typically start with some introductory -svns, the -level set on -svns, operations and properties of -svns, and then study crucial results, propositions, theorems and several examples related to -svnm and -svnsm of a given classical module over a ring R. In addition, we present various homomorphism theorems for the validity of -svnsm.
