Applications on Bipolar Vague Soft Sets
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to interpolate bipolarity into the definition of the vague soft set. This gives a new more applicable, flexible, and generalized extension of the soft set, the fuzzy soft set, or even the vague soft set, which is the bipolar vague soft set. In addition, types of bipolar vague soft sets, as well as some new related concepts and operations are established with examples. Moreover, properties of bipolar vague soft sets including absorption, commutative, associative, distributive, and De Morgan’s laws are discussed in detail. Furthermore, a bipolar vague soft set-designed decision-making algorithm is provided generalizing Roy and Maji method. This allows making more effective decisions to choose the optimal alternative. Finally, an applied problem is introduced with a comparative analysis to illustrate how the proposed algorithm works more successfully than the previous models for problems that contain uncertain ambiguous data.
