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.

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.

Novel Concept

In this article, we propose a novel concept of the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set by combining the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy set and the soft set. For possible applications, five kinds of operations (e.g., subset, equal, union, intersection, and complement) on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets are presented. Then, several theoretical operations of single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft sets are given. In addition, the first type for the fuzzy decision-making based on single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set matrix is constructed. Finally, we present the second type by using the AND operation of the single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy soft set for fuzzy decision-making and clarify its applicability with a numerical example.

Axiomatic Definition

As a generation of ordinary fuzzy set, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), characterized both by a membership degree and by a nonmembership degree, is a more flexible way to cope with the uncertainty. Similarity measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used to indicate the similarity degree between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Although many similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been proposed in previous studies, some of those cannot satisfy the axioms of similarity or provide counterintuitive cases. In this paper, a new similarity measure and weighted similarity measure between IFSs are proposed. It proves that the proposed similarity measures satisfy the properties of the axiomatic definition for similarity measures. Comparison between the previous similarity measures and the proposed similarity measure indicates that the proposed similarity measure does not provide any counterintuitive cases. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed similarity measure is capable of discriminating difference between patterns.

Abstract The research on incomplete fuzzy soft sets is an integral part of the research on fuzzy soft sets and has been initiated recently. In this work, we first point out that an existing approach to predicting unknown data in an incomplete fuzzy soft set suffers from some limitations and then we propose an improved method. The hidden information between both objects and parameters revealed in our approach is more comprehensive. Furthermore, based on the similarity measures of fuzzy sets, a new adjustable object-parameter approach is proposed to predict unknown data in incomplete fuzzy soft sets. Data predicting converts an incomplete fuzzy soft set into a complete one, which makes the fuzzy soft set applicable not only to decision making but also to other areas. The compared results elaborated through rate exchange data sets illustrate that both our improved approach and the new adjustable object-parameter one outperform the existing method with respect to forecasting accuracy.

By combining the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set and soft set models, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets. Further, some operations on the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets are investigated, such as complement, “AND,” “OR,” ring sum, and ring product operations. Then, by means of reduct interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and level hesitant fuzzy soft sets, we present an adjustable approach to interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets based on decision making and some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the developed approach. Finally, the weighted interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft set is also introduced and its application in decision making problem is shown.

Picture Fuzzy Set

A new condition on positive membership, neutral membership, and negative membership functions give us the successful extension of picture fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set and called spherical fuzzy sets ( SFS ) . This extends the domain of positive membership, neutral membership, and negative membership functions. Keeping in mind the importance of similarity measure and application in data mining, medical diagnosis, decision making, and pattern recognition, several studies on similarity measures have been proposed in the literature. Some of those, however, cannot satisfy the axioms of similarity and provide counter-intuitive cases. In this paper, we proposed the set-theoretic similarity and distance measures. We provide some counterexamples for already proposed similarity measures in the literature and shows that how our proposed method is important and applicable to the pattern recognition problems. In the end, we provide an application of a proposed similarity measure for selecting mega projects in under developed countries.

AbstractComplex q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (Cq-ROFS) is an extension of Complex fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, Pythagorean fuzzy set, to cope with complicated and inconsistence information in the environment of fuzzy set theory with a wider domain. In Cq-ROFS, each attribute is characterized by the degree of membership and non-membership degree over the unit-disc of the complex plan. Keeping the advantages of Cq-ROFSs, in this manuscript, we present a concept of the dice similarity and generalized dice similarity measures between the pairs of the sets. The basic axioms and properties are also stated. Further, we extend the proposed measures to weighted dice similarity measures and investigated their properties. The certain properties and the special cases of the proposed work are also derived. The applicability of the proposed measures is demonstrated with some numerical examples related to medical diagnoses and pattern recognition. The superiority and advantages of the measures over the existing ones are also illustrated with certain numerical examples.
