Soft set theory research is carried out as a new trend and it shows much appreciable
development well received by the users of the field.
Fuzzy matrices play crucial role in Science and Technology. Sometimes the
issues cannot be solved by classical matrix theory when they occur in an uncertain
environment and this failure is inevitable. Thomason [14] initiated the fuzzy matrices to
represent fuzzy relation in a system based on fuzzy set theory and discussed about the
convergence of power of fuzzy matrix. In 1995, Smarandache introduced the concept of
neutrosophy. In neutrosophic logic, each proposition is approximated to have the
percentage of truth in a subset T, the percentage of indeterminancy in a subset I and the
percentage of falsity in a subset F, so that this neutrosophic logic is called an extension
of fuzzy logic. In fact this mathematical tool is used to handle problems like imprecision,
indeterminancy and inconsistency of data etc.
Maji et al. [5], initiated the concept of fuzzy soft set with some properties
regarding fuzzy soft union, intersection, complement of fuzzy soft set. Moreover Maji et
al. [6,10] extended soft sets to intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and neutrosophic soft sets and
the concept of neutrosophic set was introduced by Smarandache [12] which is a
generalization of fuzzy logic and several related systems.
Yang and Ji [17], introduced a matrix representation of fuzzy soft set and applied
it in decision making problems. Bora et al. [8] introduced the intuitionistic fuzzy soft
matrices and applied in the application of a Medical diagnosis.
Sumathi and Arokiarani [13] introduced new operation on fuzzy neutrosophic soft
matrices. Dhar et al. [7] have also defined neutrosophic fuzzy matrices and studied
square neutrosophic fuzzy matrices. Uma et al. [15,16], introduced two types of fuzzy
neutrosophic soft matrices and have discussed determinant and adjoint of fuzzy
neutrosophic soft matrices. Kim et al. [4], introduced the concept of determinant theory
for fuzzy matrices.
In this paper, some elementary properties of determinant theory for fuzzy
neutrosophic soft square matrices have been established and some theorems including
det ( A( adjA)) = det ( A) = det ( adj ( A) A). where det ( A) denotes the determinant of A
and adj ( A) denotes the adjoint matrix of A.
2. Preliminaries
Definition 2.1. [12] A neutrosophic set A on the universe of discourse X is defined as
A = { x, TA ( x), I A ( x), FA ( x), x X } ,
where T , I , F : X ] 0,1+ [ and 0 TA ( x ) + I A ( x ) + FA ( x ) 3+ (1)
From philosophical point of view the neutrosophic set takes the value from real standard
or non-standard subsets of ] 0,1+ [ . But in real life application especially in scientific
and Engineering problems it is difficult to use neutrosophic set with value from real
standard or non-standard subset of ] 0,1+ [ . Hence we consider the neutrosophic set
which takes the value from the subset of [0,1] .Therefore we can rewrite the equation (1)
as 0 TA ( x ) + I A ( x ) + FA ( x ) 3.

Determinant Theory for Fuzzy Neutrosophic Soft Matrices
In short an element a in the neutrosophic set A, can be written as
a = a , a I , a F , where aT denotes degree of truth, a I denotes degree of indeterminacy,
T
Example 2.2. Assume that the universe of discourse X = {x1 , x2 , x3} , where x1 , x2 , and
x3 characterizes the quality, reliability, and the price of the objects. It may be further
assumed that the values of {x1 , x2 , x3} are in [0,1] and they are obtained from some
investigations of some experts. The experts may impose their opinion in three
components viz; the degree of goodness, the degree of indeterminacy and the degree of
poorness to explain the characteristics of the objects. Suppose A is a Neutrosophic Set
(NS) of X , such that A = { x1 , 0.4, 0.5, 0.3 , x2 , 0.7, 0.2, 0.4 , x3 , 0.8, 0.3, 0.4},
where for x1 the degree of goodness of quality is 0.4 , degree of indeterminacy of quality
is 0.5 and degree of falsity of quality is 0.3, etc.
Definition 2.3. [9] Let U be an initial universe set and E be a set of parameters. Let P(U)
denotes the power set of U. Consider a nonempty set A, A E . A pair (F,A) is called a
soft set over U, where F is a mapping given by F : A P (U ).
Definition 2.4. [1] Let U be an initial universe set and E be a set of parameters.
Consider a non empty set A, A E . Let P (U ) denotes the set of all fuzzy neutrosophic
sets of U . The collection ( F , A) is termed to be the Fuzzy Neutrosophic Soft Set
(FNSS) over U, Where F is a mapping given by F : A P (U ) . Hereafter we simply
consider A as FNSS over U instead of ( F , A).
Definition 2.5. [2] Let U = {c1 , c2 ,...cm } be the universal set and E be the set of
{ }
parameters given by E = e1 , e2 ,...en . Let A E . A pair ( F , A) be a FNSS over U .
Then the subset of U E is defined by RA = {(u , e); e A, u FA (e)} which is called
a relation form of ( FA , E ) . The membership function, indeterminacy membership
function and non membership function are written by TRA : U E [0,1] ,
I RA : U E [0,1] and FRA : U E [0,1] where TRA (u , e) [0,1], I RA (u , e) [0,1]
and FRA (u , e ) [0,1] are the membership value, indeterminacy value and non
membership value respectively of u U for each e E .
If [(Tij , I ij , Fij )] = [(Tij (ui , e j ), I ij (ui , e j ), Fij (ui , e j )] we define a matrix

Definition 2.6. [15] Let U = {c1 , c2 ...cm } be the universal set and E be the set of
parameters given by E = {e1 , e2 ,...en } . Let A E . A pair ( F , A) be a fuzzy
neutrosophic soft set. Then fuzzy neutrosophic soft set ( F , A) in a matrix form as
Amn = ( aij ) mn or A = ( aij ), i = 1, 2,...m, j = 1, 2,...n where
(T (ci , e j ), I (ci , e j ), F (ci , e j )) if e j A
(aij ) =
0, 0,1 if e j A
where T j (ci ) represent the membership of ci , I j (ci ) represent the indeterminacy of ci
and F j (ci ) represent the non-membership of ci in the FNSS ( F , A) . If we replace the
identity element 0, 0,1 by 0,1,1 in the above form we get FNSM of type-II.
Let Fmn denotes FNSM of order m n and Fn denotes FNSM of order n n .

(2) Let be a permutation in S n . Assume that ( k ) k for all k {1, 2,...n}.
We know that every permutation can be written as a product of disjoint cycles i and
let = 1 2 ... k . We further assume that 1 = (1 2), a transposition.
Then J has two factors, ( a T
1t , a1It , a1Ft A (1)t ) and
( a2Tt , a2I t , a2Ft A (2)t ), and from these we see that
