However, physical education teaching is a complex overall activity, and its characteristics and elements cannot be fully evaluated through quantitative indicators. Therefore, excessive pursuit of quantification in order to make the evaluation indicators more convenient and operable cannot guarantee the effectiveness and accuracy of the evaluation. The classroom teaching quality evaluation of College Physical Education is viewed as the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). In this paper, the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic numbers grey relational analysis (TFNN-GRA) method is built based on traditional grey relational analysis (GRA) and triangular fuzzy neutrosophic sets (TFNSs). Firstly, the TFNSs is introduced. Then, combine the traditional fuzzy GRA model with TFNSs information, the TFNN-GRA method is established and the computing steps for MADM are built with completely unknown weight information. Finally, a numerical example for classroom teaching quality evaluation of College Physical Education has been given and some comparisons is used to proof advantages of TFNN-GRA method.

Usually, public seats can be divided into two parts based on their usage: public indoor seats and public outdoor seats. How to understand the role and impact of public seats on the indoor environment, and how to establish a new design method for public seats in the context of the overall environmental system, are currently urgent issues to be solved. The chair furniture comfort design evaluation is a classical MADM issues. In such paper, the generalized weighted Bonferroni mean (WBM) operator and power average (PA) is constructed for MADM with single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs). Then, the generalized single-valued neutrosophic number power WBM (GSVNNPWBM) operator is built and then the MADM decision methods are proposed based on the GSVNNPWBM operator.

The traditional Yaozhou porcelain contains the ancient people’s concept of creation and their attitude towards humans and nature. Each artifact of Yaozhou porcelain contains the designer’s understanding and emotions about the world, establishing a dialogue between people and objects to form a desired lifestyle. The production method of Yaozhou porcelain that has been preserved for thousands of years shares many similarities with modern design ideas. The quality evaluation of Yaozhou porcelain decoration design is viewed as multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM). The grey relational analysis (GRA) is a useful tool to cope with the MADM issue.
