We introduce the concept of an effective neutrosophic soft set, which aims to capture the influence on three independent membership functions representing degrees of truth (T), indeterminacy (I) and falsity (F). We go further by presenting a generalization of the effective neutrosophic soft set, which includes the incorporation of a degree to signify the potential for an approximate value-set. This enhancement contributes to improved efficiency and realism in the concept. Notably, this innovative approach leverages the strengths of both the generalized neutrosophic set and the effective neutrosophic soft set. The subsequent sections delve into fundamental operations on the generalized effective neutrosophic soft set, providing clarity through illustrative examples and propositions. Furthermore, we demonstrate the practical application of the generalized effective neutrosophic soft set in addressing decision-making problems and medical diagnoses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is a combination of time neutrosophic soft sets and Q- neutrosophic soft expert sets. We define the general concept of time Q-neutrosophic soft expert sets and study its properties. Some operations such as complement, union, and intersection are explored. Then a hypothetical application of this concept in the decision-making problem is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fuzzy soft set is the most powerful and effective extension of soft sets which deals with parameterized values of the alternative. It is an extended model of soft set and a new mathematical tool that has great advantages in dealing with uncertain information and is proposed by combining soft sets and fuzzy sets. Many fuzzy decision making algorithms based on fuzzy soft sets were given. However, these do not consider the external effective on the decision it depends on the parameters without considering any external effective. In order to solve these problems, in this paper, we introduce the concept of effective fuzzy soft set and its operation and study some of its properties. We also give an application of this concept in decision making (DM) problem. Finally, we give an application of this theory to medical diagnosis (MD) and exhibit the technique with a hypothetical case study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We establish the hybrid concept of complex bipolar- valued neutrosophic soft set (CBVNSS) as a hybrid model of bipolar neutrosophic soft set (BNSS)and complex fuzzy set (CFS). A CBVNSS is highly suitable for use in real life situations where the decision makers are interested to deal with bipolarity as well as truth membership, indeterminacy membership and falsity membership grades to the alternatives in an extended range with complex numbers. Certain operations on CBVNSS like complement, subset, union and intersection operations are defined. Some related examples are also given to enhance the understanding of the proposed concept. The basic properties are also verified. We then provide a decision-making method on the CBVNSS. Finally, a numerical example has been presented to verify validity and feasibility of the developed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1995, Smarandache initiated the theory of neutrosophic set as new mathematical tool for handling problems involving imprecise, indeterminacy, and inconsistent data. Molodtsov initiated the theory of soft set as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties, which traditional mathematical tools cannot handle. He has showed several applications of this theory for solving many practical problems in economics, engineering, social science, medical science, etc. In 2017 Smarandache initiated the theory of Plithogenic Set and their properties. He also generalized the soft set to the hypersoft set by transforming the function F into a multi-attribute function and introduced the hybrids of Crisp, Fuzzy, Intuitionistic Fuzzy, Neutrosophic, and Plithogenic Hypersoft Set. In this research, for the first time we define the concept of Plithogenic soft set, and give it some generalizations and study some of its operations. Furthermore, We give examples for these concepts and operations. Finally, the similarities between two Plithogenic soft sets are also given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neutrosophic set is a powerful general formal framework. A lot of studies on neutrosophic had been proposed and recently, in multi-valued interval values. However, sometimes there is problem involving elements of ambiguity and uncertainties in which the function of membership is difficult to be set in a particular case. Clearly, these problems can be solved by soft set since it is able to solve the lack of parameterization tool of theory. Thus, this paper introduces a concept of multi-valued interval neutrosophic soft set which amalgamates multi-valued interval neutrosophic set and soft set. The proposed set extends the notions of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, neutrosophic set, interval-valued neutrosophic set, multi-valued neutrosophic set, soft set and neutrosophic soft set. Further, we study some basic operations such as complement, equality, inclusion, union, intersection, "AND" and "OR" for multi-valued interval neutrosophic soft elements and discuss its associated properties. Moreover, the derivation of its properties, related examples and some proofs on the propositions are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to correct the assertions (3) and (4) of Proposition 5.2 proposed by Alkhazaleh [Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems 30 (2016) 1087-1098]. Every notions involved are extend to the arbitrary set case in a clear, rigorous, and non-burdensome manner. A counterexample illustrates the flaw of the assertions. We introduce some new notions describing 'subset' of time-neutrosophic soft sets (T-NSSs for short) and 'equal' of T-NSSs, and give some examples and related propositions. Then we use these results to remedy the flaw of the assertions, and to improve the work of Alkhazaleh. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We also, define its basic operations, complement, union intersection, "AND" and "OR" and study their properties. Also, we give hypothetical application of this concept in decision making problems.

In 1995 Smarandache introduced the concept of neutrosophic set which is a mathematical tool for handling problems involving imprecise, indeterminacy and inconsistent data. In 2013 Maji introduced the concept of neutrosophic soft set theory as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper we define the notion of a mapping on classes where the neutrosophic soft classes are collections of neutrosophic soft set. We also define and study the properties of neutrosophic soft images and neutrosophic soft inverse images of neutrosophic soft sets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the definition of the complex neutrosophic soft expert set (CNSES), parameters set is a classical set, and the parameters have the same degree of importance, which is considered as 1. This poses a limitation in modeling of some problems. This paper introduces the concept of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert set (FP-CNSES) to handle this issue by assigning a degree of importance to each of the problem parameters. We further develop FP-CNSES by establishing the concept of weighted fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert set (WFP-CNSES) based on the idea that each expert has a relative weight. These new mathematical frameworks reduce the chance of unfairness in the decision making process. Some essential operations with their properties and relevant laws related to the notion of FP-CNSES are defined and verified. The notation of mapping on fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert classes is defined and some properties of fuzzy parameterized complex neutrosophic soft expert images and inverse images was investigated. FP-CNSES is used to put forth an algorithm on decision-making by converting it from complex state to real state and subsequently provided the detailed decision steps. Then, we provide the comparison of FP-CNSES to the current methods to show the ascendancy of our proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
