Summary
There exist the vagueness and uncertainty of human judgments and cognitions regarding complicated real-world problems. Aiming at the practical problems of uncertainty and incompleteness, the fuzzy set proposed by Zadeh has been widely used in various fields. Due to the need for better and detailed membership functions in real science and engineering problems, the classical fuzzy sets have been extended to type-2 fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, multi-valued fuzzy sets, cubic sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, spherical fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, etc. Each of them is gaining significant attention in science and engineering areas. Then, these fuzzy set theories have been used in decision making, artificial intelligence, image processing, medical diagnosis, fault diagnosis, optimization design/programming, clustering analysis, big and small data mining, engineering modeling and analysis, etc. In recent years, various fuzzy set theories have made new progress and achievements in the engineering and scientific fields.
The focus of this special issue is the extension, modeling and applications of fuzzy set theory to solve engineering and scientific problems. Articles submitted to this special issue can also be concerned with various fuzzy set theories, modeling, and applications in decision making, artificial intelligence, big and small data mining, pattern recognition, information processing, medical diagnosis, faulty diagnosis, image processing, and many other practical modeling and analysis, etc. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles and review articles, which will stimulate continuous research on various fuzzy set theories, modeling and applications to evaluate/solve engineering and scientific problems.

Abstract The ideas of ambiguous bipolar skepticism under algebra and closed skepticism ambiguous bipolar ideals and related features have been developed. The fuzzy measure ideal is described in terms of bipolar ambiguous measure algebra and bipolar skepticism, and the linkages between bipolar fuzzy measure algebra are determined. A bipolar misty ideal’s skepticism is examined. In
BCW and
BCL-measure algebra, homogeneous ideas and dubious pictures of fuzzy bipolar measure ideas are examined. Also, we gave the relationship between these concepts. Finally, it is given the perfect terms for an occult bipolar doubt to be a measure of ideal fuzzy bipolar closed doubt.

Abstract In this article, mathematical modeling for the evaluation of reliability is studied using two methods. One of the methods, is developed based on possibility theory. The performance of the reliability of the system is of prime concern. In view of this, the outcomes for the failure are required to evaluate with utmost care. In possibility theory, the reliability information data determined from decision-making experts are subjective. The same method is also related to the survival possibilities as against the survival probabilities. The other method is the one that is developed using the concept of approximation of closed interval including the…

Abstract The main objective of this paper is to present an integrated approach to evaluate the level of satisfaction of borrowers with the products and services of microfinance institutions (MFI) at different criterion levels. For this, the study adopts the concept of FCEM (Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method) in concurrence with the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). In our day-to-day situation, the researchers have made many efforts to assess the impact of Microfinance on poverty reduction, but borrowers’ satisfaction is always overlooked. Since the multiple factors impact the borrower’s satisfaction, each factor is made of different items. Thus, as the factors items increase,…

Abstract A neutrosophic multi-valued set (NMVS) is a crucial representation for true, false, and indeterminate multi-valued information. Then, a consistent single-valued neutrosophic set (CSVNS) can effectively reflect the mean and consistency degree of true, false, and indeterminate multi-valued sequences and solve the operational issues between different multi-valued sequence lengths in NMVS. However, there has been no research on consistent single-valued neutrosophic similarity measures in the existing literature. This paper proposes cotangent similarity measures and weighted cotangent similarity measures between CSVNSs based on cotangent function in the neutrosophic multi-valued setting. The cosine similarity measures show the cosine of the angle between two…

Abstract Based on the analyses of existing preference group decision-making (PGDM) methods with intuitionistic fuzzy
preference relations (IFPRs), we present a new PGDM framework with incomplete IFPRs. A generalized multiplicative consistent for IFPRs is defined, and a mathematical programming model is constructed to supplement
the missing values in incomplete IFPRs. Moreover, in this study, another mathematical programming model is
constructed to improve the consistency level of unacceptably multiplicative consistent IFPRs. For group decisionmaking (GDM) with incomplete IFPRs, three reliable sources inuencing the weights of experts are identified. Subsequently, a method for determining the weights of experts is developed by simultaneously considering…

Abstract A soft, rough set model is a distinctive mathematical model that can be used to relate a variety of real-life data. In the
present work, we introduce new concepts of rough set based on soft pre-lower and soft pre-upper approximation
space. These concepts are soft pre-rough equality, soft pre-rough inclusion, soft pre-rough belonging, soft predefinability, soft pre-internal lower, and soft pre-external lower. We study the properties of these concepts. Finally,
we use the soft pre-rough approximation to illustrate the importance of our method in decision-making for
Chikungunya medical illnesses. In reality, the impact factors of Chikungunya’s medical infection were determined.…

Abstract The simplified neutrosophic number (SNN) can represent uncertain, imprecise, incomplete, and inconsistent
information that exists in scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Hence, it is a useful tool for describing
truth, falsity, and indeterminacy information in multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. To suit
decision makers’ preference selection, the operational flexibility of aggregation operators shows its importance
in dealing with the flexible decision-making problems in the SNN environment. To solve this problem, this
paper develops the Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators of SNNs for MADM problems in view of the Aczel-Alsina
operational flexibility. First, we define the Aczel-Alsina operations of SNNs. Then, the Aczel-Alsina…

Abstract A fuzzy system is a novel computing technique that accesses uncertain information by fuzzy representation. In
the decision-making process, fuzzy system and soft computing are effective tools that are tolerant to imprecision,
uncertainty, and partial truths. Evolutionary fuzzy systems have been developed with the appearance of interval
fuzzy, dual fuzzy, hesitant fuzzy, neutrosophic, plithogenic representations, etc. Moreover, by capturing compound
features and convey multi-dimensional data, complex numbers are utilized to generalize fuzzy and neutrosophic
fuzzy sets. In this paper, a representation of neutrosophic soft expert systems based on the real and complex
numbers in the interval form is proposed. The…

Abstract This paper proposes a personalized comprehensive cloud-based method for heterogeneous multi-attribute group
decision-making (MAGDM), in which the evaluations of alternatives on attributes are represented by LTs (linguistic
terms), PLTSs (probabilistic linguistic term sets) and LHFSs (linguistic hesitant fuzzy sets). As an effective tool
to describe LTs, cloud model is used to quantify the qualitative evaluations. Firstly, the regulation parameters of
entropy and hyper entropy are defined, and they are further incorporated into the transformation process from LTs
to clouds for reflecting the different personalities of decision-makers (DMs). To tackle the evaluation information
in the form of PLTSs and LHFSs, PLTS…

Abstract Interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy so set (IVPFSS) is a generalization of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy
so set (IVIFSS) and interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set (IVPFS). The IVPFSS handled more uncertainty
comparative to IVIFSS; it is the most signicant technique for explaining fuzzy information in the decision-making
process. In this work, some novel operational laws for IVPFSS have been proposed. Based on presented operational
laws, two innovative aggregation operators (AOs) have been developed such as interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy
so weighted average (IVPFSWA) and interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy so weighted geometric (IVPFSWG)
operators with their fundamental properties. A multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) approach has
been…

Abstract We first propose the normal Pythagorean neutrosophic set (NPNS) in this paper, which synthesizes the distribution of the incompleteness, indeterminacy, and inconsistency of the Pythagorean neutrosophic set (PNS) and normal fuzzy number. We also define some properties of NPNS. For solving the decision-making problem of the non-strictly independent and interacting attributes, two kinds of NPNS Choquet integral operators are proposed. First, the NPNS Choquet integral average (NPNSCIA) operator and the NPNS Choquet integral geometric (NPNSCIG) operator are proposed. Then, their calculating formulas are derived, their properties are discussed, and an approach for solving the interacting multi-attribute decision making based on…

Abstract Since existing selection methods of surgical treatment schemes of renal cancer patients mainly depend on physicians’ clinical experience and judgments, the surgical treatment options of renal cancer patients lack their scientifical and reasonable information expression and group decision-making model for renal cancer patients. Fuzzy multi-sets (FMSs) have a number of properties, which make them suitable for expressing the uncertain information of medical diagnoses and treatments in group decision-making (GDM) problems. To choose the most appropriate surgical treatment scheme for a patient with localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (T1 stage kidney tumor), this article needs to develop an effective GDM model…
