Interval-Valued Topology on Soft Sets

Abstract

In this paper, we study the concept of interval-valued fuzzy set on the family SSX,E of all soft sets over X with the set of parameters E and examine its basic properties. Later, we define the concept of interval-valued fuzzy topology (cotopology) τ on SSX,E. We obtain that each interval-valued fuzzy topology is a descending family of soft topologies. In addition, we study some topological structures such as interval-valued fuzzy neighborhood system of a soft point, base and subbase of τ and investigate some relationships among them. Finally, we give some concepts such as direct sum, open mapping and continuous mapping and consider connections between them. A few examples support the presented results.
