Abstract

Fuzzy soft multiset (FSMS) is a substantial and important fuzzy generalization of soft set and multiset (also called bag). In this paper, we have presented the idea of weighted fuzzy soft multiset (WFSMS) as a generalization of FSMS and its basic properties are to be studied. Also, we introduce a new adjustable approach to WFSMS based decision-making, for solving decision-making in an uncertain situation. The feasibility of our proposed WFSMS based decision-making procedure in practical application is read by a mathematical example.
