“…Due to strong data-inclusive features, IFS and IVIFS have been extended in distinct regions, including bipolar soft sets ( Mahmood, 2020 ), analysis of image quality under measures ( Hassaballah & Ghareeb, 2017 ), decision-making framework ( Gao et al, 2021 ; Zeng, Hu & Llopis-Albert, 2023 ), distance and similarity measures ( Garg & Rani, 2021 ; Peng, Xiaohe & Jianbo, 2021 ), hybrid variable approach ( Liu et al, 2021 ; Xue, Deng & Garg, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2022 ), construction of shadowed sets ( Yang & Yao, 2021 ), time-series mapping ( Bas, Yolcu & Egrioglu, 2021 ), transportation problem ( Bharati, 2021 ), and combined compromise solution approach ( Alrasheedi et al, 2021 ; Su et al, 2023 ).…”
