Intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets are constructed by combining intuitionistic fuzzy sets with rough sets. Recently, Huang et al. proposed the definition of an intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) β -covering and an IF covering rough set model. In this paper, some properties of IF β -covering approximation spaces and the IF covering rough set model are investigated further. Moreover, we present a novel methodology to the problem of multiple criteria group decision making. Firstly, some new notions and properties of IF β -covering approximation spaces are proposed. Secondly, we study the characterizations of Huang et al.’s IF covering rough set model and present a new IF covering rough set model for crisp sets in an IF environment. The relationships between these two IF covering rough set models and some other rough set models are investigated. Finally, based on the IF covering rough set model, Huang et al. also defined an optimistic multi-granulation IF rough set model. We present a novel method to multiple criteria group decision making problems under the optimistic multi-granulation IF rough set model.

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, we present concepts of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets, and investigate some properties of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets in detail. Furthermore, classical representations of intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough approximation operators are presented. Finally, we develop an approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets based on decision making and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed approach.

In this article, we demonstrate how interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) can function as extended intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) using the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) instead of precision numbers to describe the degree of membership and non-membership, which are more flexible and practical in dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty. By introducing IVIFSs into three-way decisions, we provide a new description of the loss function. Thus, we firstly propose a model of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision-theoretic rough sets (IVIFDTRSs). According to the basic framework of IVIFDTRSs, we design a strategy to address the IVIFNs and deduce three-way decisions. Then, we successfully extend the results of IVIFDTRSs from single-person decision-making to group decision-making. In this situation, we adopt a grey correlation accurate weighted determining method (GCAWD) to compute the weights of decision-makers, which integrates the advantages of the accurate weighted determining method and grey correlation analysis method. Moreover, we utilize the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IIFWA) operation to count the aggregated scores and the accuracies of the expected losses. By comparing these scores and accuracies, we design a simple and straightforward algorithm to deduce three-way decisions for group decision-making. Finally, we use an illustrative example to verify our results.

As an extension of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, the theory of picture fuzzy sets not only deals with the degrees of rejection and acceptance but also considers the degree of refusal during a decision-making process; therefore, by incorporating this competency of picture fuzzy sets, the goal of this study is to propose a novel hybrid model called picture fuzzy soft expert sets by combining picture fuzzy sets with soft expert sets for dealing with uncertainties in different real-world group decision-making problems. The proposed hybrid model is a more generalized form of intuitionistic fuzzy soft expert sets. Some novel desirable properties of the proposed model, namely, subset, equality, complement, union and intersection, are investigated together with their corresponding examples. Two well-known operations AND and OR are also studied for the developed model. Further, a decision-making method supporting by an algorithmic format under the proposed approach is presented. Moreover, an illustrative application is provided for its better demonstration, which is subjected to the selection of a suitable company of virtual reality devices. Finally, a comparison of the initiated method is explored with some existing models, including intuitionistic fuzzy soft expert sets.

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model called N-soft rough sets, which can be seen as a combination of rough sets and N-soft sets. Moreover, approximation operators and some useful properties with respect to N-soft rough approximation space are introduced. Furthermore, we propose decision making procedures for N-soft rough sets, the approximation sets are utilized to handle problems involving multi-criteria decision-making(MCDM), aiming at electing the optional objects and the possible optional objects based on their attribute set. The algorithm addresses some limitations of the extended rough sets models in dealing with inconsistent decision problems. Finally, an application of N-soft rough sets in multi-criteria decision making is illustrated with a real life example.

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model, multi Q-hesitant fuzzy soft multi-granulation rough set model, by combining a multi Q-hesitant fuzzy soft set and multi-granulation rough set. We demonstrate some useful properties of these multi Q-hesitant fuzzy soft multi-granulation rough sets. Furthermore, we define multi Q-hesitant fuzzy soft ( M k Q H F S ) rough approximation operators in terms of M k Q H F S relations and M k Q H F S multi-granulation rough approximation operators in terms of M k Q H F S relations. We study the main properties of lower and upper M k Q H F S rough approximation operators and lower and upper M k Q H F S multi-granulation rough approximation operators. Moreover, we develop a general framework for dealing with uncertainty in decision-making by using the multi Q-hesitant fuzzy soft multi-granulation rough sets. We analyze the photovoltaic systems fault detection to show the proposed decision methodology.
