Fuzzy Soft Sets

Soft set theory, proposed by Molodtsov, has been regarded as an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertainties. Recently, uncertainty measures of soft sets and fuzzy soft sets have gained attentions from researchers. This paper is devoted to the study of uncertainty measures of fuzzy soft sets. The axioms for similarity measure and entropy are proposed. A new category of similarity measures and entropies is presented based on fuzzy equivalence. Our approach is general in the sense that by using different fuzzy equivalences one gets different similarity measures and entropies. The relationships among these measures and the other proposals in the literatures are analyzed.

Many effective tools in fuzzy soft set theory have been proposed to handle various complicated problems in different fields of our real life, especially in decision making. Molodtsov’s soft set theory has been regarded as a newly emerging mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. Lattice ordered multi-fuzzy soft set (LMFSS) has been applied in forecasting process. However, similarity measure is not used in this application. In our research, similarity measure of LMFSS is proposed to calculate the similarity between two LMFSSs. Moreover, some of its properties are introduced and proved. Finally, an application of LMFSS in decision making using similarity measure is analysed.

The notion of soft set theory was initiated as a general mathematical tool for handling ambiguities. Decision making is viewed as a cognitive-based human activity for selecting the best alternative. In the present time, decision making techniques based on fuzzy soft sets have gained enormous attentions. On this development, this paper proposes a new algorithm for decision making in fuzzy soft set environment by hybridizing some existing techniques. The first novelty is the idea of absolute scores. The second concerns the concept of priority table in group decision making problems. The advantages of our approach herein are stronger power of objects discrimination and a well-determined inference.

Bipolar soft set theory is a mathematical tool associates between bipolarity and soft set theory, it is defined by two soft sets one of them gives us the positive information where the other gives us the negative. The goal of our paper is to define the bipolar soft topological space on a bipolar soft set and study its basic notions and properties. We also investigate the definitions of: bipolar soft interior, bipolar soft closure, bipolar soft exterior, bipolar soft boundary and establish some important properties on them. Some relations between them are also discussed. Moreover, the notions of bipolar soft point, bipolar soft limit point and the derived set of a bipolar soft set are discussed. In additions, examples are presented to illustrate our work.

Abstract Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is a broadening of intuitionistic fuzzy set that can represent the situations where the sum of membership and the non-membership values exceeds one. Adding parameterization to PFS we obtain a structure named as Pythagorean fuzzy soft set (PFSS). It has a higher capacity to deal with vagueness as it captures both the structures of a PFS and a soft set. Several practical situations demand the measure of similarity between two structures, whose sum of membership value and non-membership value exceeds one. There are no existing tools to measure the similarity between PFSS and this paper put forward similarity measures for PFSS. An axiomatic definition for similarity measure is proposed for PFSS and certain expressions for similarity measure are introduced. Further, some theorems which express the properties of similarity measures are proved. A comparative study between proposed expressions for similarity measure is carried out. Also, a clustering algorithm based on PFSS is introduced by utilizing the proposed similarity measure.

Soft set theory is a newly emerging mathematical tool to deal with uncertain problems. In this paper, by introducing a generalization parameter, which itself is trapezoidal fuzzy, we define generalized trapezoidal fuzzy soft sets and then study some of their properties. Finally, applications of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem and medical diagnosis problem are shown.

Abstract. Molodstov's soft set theory is a newly emerging mathematical tool to handleuncertainty. The soft set theory can be combined with other mathematical theory like asfuzzy set theory. This paper aims to extend hesitant fuzzy set to hesitant fuzzy soft sets.Then, the complement, "AND", "OR", union, intersection operations and De Morgan'slaw are dened on hesitant fuzzy soft sets. Finally, with the help of level soft set, thehesitant fuzzy soft sets are applied to a decision making problem.Kata Kunci: Soft set, Fuzzy set, Hesitant fuzzy set, Hesitant fuzzy soft set, Level softset

Molodtsov introduced the theory of soft sets, which can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. This paper aims to introduce the concept of the type-2 fuzzy soft set by integrating the type-2 fuzzy set theory and the soft set theory. Some operations on the type-2 fuzzy soft sets are given. Furthermore, we investigate the decision making based on type-2 fuzzy soft sets. By means of level soft sets, we propose an adjustable approach to type-2 fuzzy-soft-set based decision making and give some illustrative examples. Moreover, we also introduce the weighted type-2 fuzzy soft set and examine its application to decision making.

New Development

As an improvement of fuzzy set theory, the notion of soft set was initiated as a general mathematical tool for handling phenomena with nonstatistical uncertainties. Recently, a novel idea of set-valued maps whose range set lies in a family of soft sets was inaugurated as a significant refinement of fuzzy mappings and classical multifunctions as well as their corresponding fixed point theorems. Following this new development, in this paper, the concepts of e-continuity and E-continuity of soft set-valued maps and αe-admissibility for a pair of such maps are introduced. Thereafter, we present some generalized quasi-contractions and prove the existence of e-soft fixed points of a pair of the newly defined non-crisp multivalued maps. The hypotheses and usability of these results are supported by nontrivial examples and applications to a system of integral inclusions. The established concepts herein complement several fixed point theorems in the framework of point-to-set-valued maps in the comparable literature. A few of these special cases of our results are highlighted and discussed.
