Abstract

Soft set theory (Comput Math Appl 44:1007–1083, 2002) is introduced recently as a model to handle uncertainty. Recently, characteristic functions for soft sets and hence operations on them using this approach were introduced in (Comput Math Appl 45:555–562, 2003). Following this approach, in this paper we redefine intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets (IFSS) and define operations on them. We also present an application of IFSS in decision-making which substantially improve and is more realistic than the algorithms proposed earlier by several authors.
