The aim of this paper is to initiate and investigate new soft sets over semihypergroups, named special soft sets and transitive soft sets and denoted by SH and TH , respectively. It is shown that TH = SH if and only if β = β ∗. We also introduce the derived semihypergroup from a special soft set and study some properties of this class of semihypergroups.

In this paper, the concept of extended intersection and restricted union of intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets are introduced. Some operations on intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets are investigated, and we prove that De Morgan’s laws hold in intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets theory. Based on these properties, we discuss the algebraic structures of intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets, which is lattice structure...

The goal of this paper is to bring a new approach to the computation of the decision making problems by using inverse (fuzzy) soft sets instead of (fuzzy) soft sets which makes the algorithms easier and faster than the existed methods. For this purpose, we first define inverse soft sets and inverse fuzzy soft sets. Then we use them to solve decision making problems in a slightly modified way. c...

Shabir and Naz in [25] introduced the notion of soft topological spaces. They defined basic notions of soft topological spaces such as open soft sets, closed soft sets, soft subspaces, soft closure, soft nbd of a soft point, soft separation axioms, soft regular spaces, soft normal spaces and they established their several properties. Min in [19] investigated some properties of such soft separat...

Association rules, one of the most useful constructs in data mining, can be exerted to capture interesting dependencies between variables in large datasets. Herawan and Deris initiated the investigation of mining association rules from transactional datasets using soft set theory. Unfortunately, some existing concepts in the literature were unable to realize properly Herawan and Deris’s initial...

In this paper, we first defined soft intervalvalued neutrosophic rough sets(SIVNrough sets for short) which combines interval valued neutrosophic soft set and rough sets and studied some of its basic properties. This concept is an extension of soft interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets( SIVIFrough sets). Finally an illustartive example is given to verfy the developped algorithm and to...

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 se...
