Abstract

In this study, concept of bipolar soft rough sets and set theoretical operations of bipolar soft rough sets are defined, and some of their properties are obtained. Also, a decision making method based on operations of bipolar soft rough sets is proposed to choose optimum element among alternatives. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the method can be successfully applied to some problems.
