Multivalued Dependency in Neutrosophic Database System

Dependency measures among attributes of a relation are very important in identifying and normalizing the relation's keys. It is known that functional and multivalued dependencies are essential for designing any traditional database. Multivalued dependency helps decompose a relation into higher normalized (4NF) relations. This work aims to extend the concept of multivalued dependency of classical databases in the framework of neutrosophic databases. The extended version of multivalued dependency for neutrosophic databases is known as neutrosophic multivalued dependency (α-nmvd). A complete set of inference rules for neutrosophic multivalued dependency (α-nmvd) are also introduced by the authors in their work.
