Generalized fuzzy soft expert set (Q1760650)

Summary: In 2011 \textit{S. Alkhazaleh} and \textit{A. R. Salleh} [Adv. Decis. Sci. 2011, Article ID 757868, 12 p. (2011; Zbl 1233.68208)] defined the concept of soft expert sets where the user can know the opinion of all the experts in one model and give an application of this concept in decision-making problems. Also, they introduced the concept of the fuzzy soft expert set as a combination between the soft expert set and the fuzzy set. In 2010 \textit{P. Majumdar} and \textit{S. K. Samanta} [Comput. Math. Appl. 59, No. 4, 1425--1432 (2010; Zbl 1189.03057)] presented the concept of a generalized fuzzy soft sets. The purpose of this paper is to combine the work of Alkhazaleh and Salleh [loc. cit.] and Majumdar and Samanta [loc. cit.], from which we can obtain a new concept: generalized fuzzy soft expert sets (GFSESs). We also introduce its operations, namely, complement, union intersection, ``AND'' and ``OR'', and study their properties. The generalized fuzzy soft expert sets are used to analyze a decision-making problem. Also in our model the user can know the opinion of all experts in one model. In this work we also introduce the concept of a generalized fuzzy soft expert sets with multiopinions (four opinions), which will be more effective and useful. Finally, we give an application of this concept in decision-making problem.
