“…Cagman and Karatas (2013) defined the intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets, followed by studies on generalised intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets (Agarwal et al, 2013;Khalil, 2015), multi Q-fuzzy parameterised soft sets (Adam and Hassan, 2014), possibility multi-fuzzy soft sets (Zhang and Shu, 2014;Khalil and Hassan, 2017b), bipolar fuzzy soft sets (Abdullah et al, 2014), trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy soft sets (Zhang and Zhang, 2013;Khalil and Hassan, 2017c) and vague soft set relations and functions (Alhazaymeh and Hassan, 2015). Since Zadeh (1965) introduced his model, fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic have been applied to many real life problems in uncertain, ambiguous environment (Alhazaymeh and Hassan, 2012c;Singh et al, 2014;Alhazaymeh et al, 2012) and further developed in decision-making processes (Tripathy and Arun, 2015;Tripathy et al, 2016;Sooraj et al, 2016Sooraj et al, , 2017, and neuro-fuzzy genetics Hassan, 2012, 2013). In view of these developments, we will introduce the notion of inverse fuzzy soft set and study its properties, structural characteristics, and operations.…”
