A Generalized Decision-Making Technique Based on Bipolar-Valued Multivague Soft Sets

Abstract

The decision-making technique, launched by Roy and Maji, is considered an effective method to overcome uncertainty and fuzziness in decision-making problems, though, adapting it to reflect the problem parameters’ vagueness, as well as multibipolarity, is very difficult. So, in this article, the bipolarity is interpolated into the multivague soft set of order n . This gives a new more generalized, flexible, and applicable extension than the fuzzy soft model, or any previous hybrid model, which is the bipolar-valued multivague soft model of dimension n . Moreover, types of bipolar-valued multivague soft sets of dimension n , as well as some new associated concepts and operations, are investigated with examples. Furthermore, properties of bipolar-valued multivague soft sets of dimension n including absorption, commutative, associative, and distributive properties, as well as De Morgan’s laws, are provided in detail. Finally, a bipolar-valued multivague soft set-designed decision-making algorithm, as well as a real-life example, are discussed generalizing the Roy and Maji method.
