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...

We introduce notions of soft rough m-polar fuzzy sets and m-polar fuzzy soft rough sets as novel hybrid models for soft computing, and investigate some of their fundamental properties. We discuss the relationship between m-polar fuzzy soft rough approximation operators and crisp soft rough approximation operators. We also present applications of m-polar fuzzy soft rough sets to decision-making.

We propose in this paper new tools for dealing with bipolar fuzzy spatial information: particular geometrical objects are defined, as well as measures such as cardinality and perimeter, represented as bipolar fuzzy numbers. A definition of distance from a point to a bipolar fuzzy set is introduced as well. These definitions are based on mathematical morphology operators, recently proposed in th...

On the basis of the combination of single-valued neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, this article proposes a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) as a further generalization of the concepts of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, we introduce the basic operational relations and cosine...

In group decision making with linguistic information, the decision makers (DMs) usually provide their assessment information by means of linguistic variables. In some situations, however, the DMs may provide fuzzy linguistic information because of time pressure, lack of knowledge, and their limited attention and information processing capabilities. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of tr...

In this paper, a logarithmic operational law for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is defined, in which the based $$\ell$$ real number such that $$\ell \in \left( {0,1} \right)$$ with condition \ne 1$$ . Some properties of laws have been studied and on these, several Einstein averaging geometric operators, namely weighted (LIFEWA) operator, ordered (LIFEOWA) hybrid (LIFEHA) (LIFEWG) (LIFEOWG) (LIFEH...

Intuitionistic fuzzy information aggregation plays an important part in Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, which has emerged to be a new research direction receiving more and more attention in recent years. In this paper, we first introduce some operations on intuitionistic fuzzy sets, such as Einstein sum, Einstein product, Einstein exponentiation, etc., and further develop some new ...

The notion of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) is a generalization of that of the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set. The fundamental characteristic of IVIFS is that the values of its membership function and non-membership function are intervals rather than exact numbers. There are various averaging operators defined for IVIFSs. These operators are not monotone with respec...

In this paper, single and multi container maintenance model under limited time interval of interest is introduced in fuzzy environment. These fuzzy models are solved by fuzzy geometric programming technique. Here fuzzy geometric programming is discussed through fuzzy decision-making processes with three different operators, max-min, max-average mean, and max-geometric mean. These operators are ...
