We have defined fuzzy bipolar soft sets and basic operations of union, intersection and complementation for fuzzy bipolar soft sets. The algebraic properties of fuzzy bipolar soft sets are discussed. The concept of bipolar fuzzy soft set is also given and the equivalence of both structures is established. An application of fuzzy bipolar soft sets in decision making problems is presented with th...

In this paper, a new kind of soft sets related with some common decision making problems in real life called central soft sets is introduced. Properties of some basic operations on central soft sets are shown. It is investigated that some classic operations between soft sets can be obtained by central soft sets with selecting different central sets. We initiate the concepts of an evaluation sys...

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. In this paper, we apply fuzzy soft sets to  hyperrings. The concept of ( , ) q       -fuzzy soft  -hyperideals of  -hyperrings is first introduced. Some new characterizations are investigated. In particular, a ...

The notion of fuzzy soft sets is a hybrid soft computing model that integrates both gradualness and parameterization methods in harmony to deal with uncertainty. The decomposition of fuzzy soft sets is of great importance in both theory and practical applications with regard to decision making under uncertainty. This study aims to explore decomposition of fuzzy soft sets with finite value space...

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...
