Soft sets were introduced by Molodtsov to handle uncertainty based problems. In 2003, Maji et al. extended the soft set approach to decision making. Decision making plays an integral role in daily life. In this chapter we describe soft sets and its impact in decision making problems. In this chapter, we discuss some of the basic notions of fuzzy soft sets and interval valued fuzzy soft sets. We also discuss application of fuzzy soft sets and interval valued fuzzy soft sets in decision making. In this chapter, we are going to see how parameter reduction is used in soft set theory.

Soft set theory, initiated by Molodtsov, can be used as a new mathematical tool for dealing with imprecise, vague, and uncertain problems. In this paper, the concepts of two types of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set are proposed and their basic properties are studied. The lattice structures of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set are also discussed. Furthermore, an application of the new approach in decision making based on generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set is developed.

Soft set theory, initiated by Molodtsov, can be used as a new mathematical tool for dealing with imprecise, vague, and uncertain problems. In this paper, the concepts of two types of possibil­ity interval-valued fuzzy soft sets are proposed. Their operations and basic properties are studied which are subset, equal, relative complement, union, intersection, restricted union, extended intersection, “AND”, “OR” and De Morgan Laws. Furthermore, an application of the new approach in decision making based on possibility interval-valued fuzzy soft set is illustrated.

We introduce the concept of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set and its operations and study some of their properties. We give applications of this theory in solving a decision making problem. We also introduce a similarity measure of two generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and discuss its application in a medical diagnosis problem: fuzzy set; soft set; fuzzy soft set; generalised fuzzy soft set; generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set; interval-valued fuzzy set; interval-valued fuzzy soft set.

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.

Fuzzy Soft Sets

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.

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.

 In this article, we propose a novel concept of the generalized picture fuzzy soft set by combining the picture fuzzy soft set and the fuzzy parameter set. For possible applications, we explain five kinds of operations (e.g., subset, equal, union, intersection, and complement) based on generalized picture fuzzy soft sets. Then, we establish several theoretical operations of generalized picture fuzzy soft sets. In addition, we present the new type by using the AND operation of the generalized picture fuzzy soft set for fuzzy decision-making and clarify its applicability with a numerical example. Finally, we give a comparison between the picture fuzzy soft set theory and the generalized picture fuzzy soft set theory. It is shown that our proposed (i.e., generalized picture fuzzy soft set theory) is viable and provide decision makers a more mathematical insight before making decisions on their options.

Maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to apply the concept of fuzzy soft sets ton-ary hypergroup theory. The concepts of(∈γ,∈γ∨qδ)-fuzzy soft (invertible)n-ary subhypergroups over a commutativen-ary hypergroup are introduced and some related properties and characterizations are obtained. The homomorphism properties of(∈γ,∈γ∨qδ)-fuzzy soft (invertible)n-ary subhypergroups are also derived.

This article describes how the lack of adequate parametrization in some of the earlier uncertainty based models like fuzzy sets, rough sets motivated Molodtsov to introduce a new model in soft set. A suitable combination of individual models leads to hybrid models, which are more efficient than their individual components. So, the authors find the introduction of many hybrid models of soft sets, like the fuzzy soft set (FSS), intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets (IFSS), interval valued fuzzy soft set (IVFSS) and the interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (IVIFSS). Following the characteristic function approach to define soft sets introduced by Tripathy et al., they re-define IVIFSS in this article. One of the most attractive applications of soft set theory and its hybrid models has been decision making in the form of individual decision making or group decision making. Here, the authors propose a group decision making algorithm using IVIFSS, which generalises many of our earlier algorithms. They compute its complexity and establish the computation experimentally with graphical illustrations.
