Description
Summary:Type-2 fuzzy sets allow us to incorporate the uncertainties about the membership functions into fuzzy sets, thereby overcoming a problem that is inherent in type-1 fuzzy sets, which does not allow for any uncertainty in assigning values to the membership functions. Complex fuzzy sets are type-1 fuzzy sets with complex-valued grades of membership and are characterized by an additional phase term which enables it to better represent and capture the time-periodic and seasonal aspects of fuzziness that are prevalent in many real world problems and time-series applications. However, similar to type-1 fuzzy sets, the membership functions of complex fuzzy sets are difficult to enumerate, as they are subject to individual preferences and bias. To overcome this problem, we propose the concept of interval-valued complex fuzzy soft sets which combines complex fuzzy sets with type-2 fuzzy sets and soft sets. This adaption of complex fuzzy sets assigns an interval-based membership to each element and adequate parameterization, which betters corresponds to the intuition of representing fuzzy data. Subsequently this paper is concerned with the concepts related to this model, verifying the algebraic properties and demonstrating the utility of this model.
