Similarity Measure of Lattice Ordered Multi-Fuzzy Soft Sets Based on Set Theoretic Approach and Its Application in Decision Making

Many effective tools in fuzzy soft set theory have been proposed to handle various complicated problems in different fields of our real life, especially in decision making. Molodtsov’s soft set theory has been regarded as a newly emerging mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. Lat...

Description
Summary:Many effective tools in fuzzy soft set theory have been proposed to handle various complicated problems in different fields of our real life, especially in decision making. Molodtsov’s soft set theory has been regarded as a newly emerging mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. Lattice ordered multi-fuzzy soft set (<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">M</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">F</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) has been applied in forecasting process. However, similarity measure is not used in this application. In our research, similarity measure of <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">M</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">F</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> is proposed to calculate the similarity between two <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">M</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">F</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi><mi>s</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Moreover, some of its properties are introduced and proved. Finally, an application of <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="script">L</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">M</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">F</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi><mspace width="-2.84526pt"></mspace><mi mathvariant="script">S</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> in decision making using similarity measure is analysed.
