Soft sets have been regarded as a useful mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty. In recent years, many scholars have shown an intense interest in soft sets and extended standard soft sets to intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets, interval-valued fuzzy soft sets, and generalized fuzzy soft sets. In this paper, hesitant fuzzy soft sets are defined by combining fuzzy soft sets with hesitant fuzzy set...

Research on soft set based decision making has received much attention in recent years. Feng et al. presented an adjustable approach to fuzzy soft sets based decision making by using level soft set, and subsequently extended the approach to interval-valued fuzzy soft set based decision making. Jiang et al. generalize the approach to solve intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets based decision making. In...

Various attempts have been made by researchers on the study of vagueness of data through intuitionistic fuzzy sets and vague sets, and also it was shown that vague sets are intuitionistic fuzzy sets. But there are algebraic and graphical differences between vague sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper an attempt is made to define the correlation coefficient of interval vague sets lyi...

The soft set theory is a newly mathematical tool to deal with uncertain problems. However, the classical soft sets are not appropriate to deal with imprecise and fuzzy parameters. In this paper, we introduce the average function and propose the interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy soft sets (IVIHFSSs) which are a combination of the interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets and...

Abstract An aggregation operator of linguistic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (LIVIFNs) is an important tool for solving cognitively inspired decision-making problems with LIVIFNs. So far, many operators LIVIFNs have been presented. Each these works well in its specific context. But they are not always monotone because their operational rules invariant and persistent. Dempster-Sha...

The notion of a rough set was originally proposed by Pawlak [Z. Pawlak, Rough sets, International Journal of Computer and Information Sciences 11 (5) (1982) 341–356]. Later on, Dubois and Prade [D. Dubois, H. Prade, Rough fuzzy sets and fuzzy rough sets, International Journal of General System 17 (2–3) (1990) 191–209] introduced rough fuzzy sets and fuzzy rough sets as a generalization of rough...

Recently, F.Smarandache generalized the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets and other kinds of sets to neutrosophic sets. Also, this author de…ned the notion of neutrosophic topology on the non-standard interval. One can expect some relation between the intuitionistic fuzzy topology on an IFS and the neutrosophic topology. We show in this work that this is false.

Bipolarity has not been much exploited in the spatial domain yet, although it has many features to manage imprecise and incomplete information that could be interesting in this domain. This paper is a first step to address this issue, and we propose to define mathematical morphology operations on bipolar fuzzy sets (or equivalently interval valued fuzzy sets or intuitionistic fuzzy sets).

In this paper, we show that bilattices are robust mathematical structures that provide a natural accommodation to, and bridge between, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and interval-valued fuzzy sets. In this way, we resolve the controversy surrounding the formal equivalence of these two models, and open up the path for a new tradition for representing positive and negative information in fuzzy set the...
