Spherical Fuzzy Soft Sets

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Decision Making with Spherical Fuzzy Sets

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 392))

Abstract

In this chapter, the definition of spherical fuzzy soft sets (SFSSs) and a few of its properties are introduced. SFSSs are presented as a generalization of soft sets. Notably, we tend to showed DeMorgan’s laws that are valid is SFSS theory. Also, we advocate an algorithm to solve the decision-making problem primarily based on adjustable soft discernibility matrix. It offers an order relation among all the items of our universe. Finally, an illustrative example is mentioned to show that they can be successfully used to solve problems with uncertainties.
