Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach to define soft mappings and investigate its properties. We apply this concept to study soft homomorphisms and soft homomorphism theorems on groups in a new fashion. We also construct a soft mapping which will be used to model a symptom–disease relation in medical diagnosis.
