Plithogenic Soft Set

In 1995, Smarandache initiated the theory of neutrosophic set as new mathematical tool for handling problems involving imprecise, indeterminacy, and inconsistent data. Molodtsov initiated the theory of soft set as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties, which traditional mathematical tools cannot handle. He has showed several applications of this theory for solving many practical problems in economics, engineering, social science, medical science, etc.

We introduce for the first time the concept of plithogeny in philosophy and, as a derivative, the concepts of plithogenic set / logic / probability / statistics in mathematics and engineering – and the degrees of contradiction (dissimilarity) between the attributes’ values that contribute to a more accurate construction of plithogenic aggregation operators and to the plithogenic relationship of inclusion (partial ordering).

In this paper, we generalize the soft set to the hypersoft set by transforming the function F into a multi-attribute function. Then we introduce the hybrids of Crisp, Fuzzy, Intuitionistic Fuzzy, Neutrosophic, and Plithogenic Hypersoft Set.

Plithogenic Hypersoft sets was introduced by Florentin Smarandache, who has extended crisp sets, fuzzy sets, intuitionistic sets, neutrosophic sets to plithogenic sets. The plithogenic sets considers the degree of appurtenance of the elements with respect to the attribute system. Smarandache has presented the classification of the plithogenic hypersoft sets and the applications of plithogenic fuzzy whole hypersoft sets in multi attribute decision making. Inspired by these research works, the concept of combined plithogenic hypersoft sets is introduced in this article. The representations of the degree of appurtenance of the elements determines the type of plithogenic hypersoft set, if it takes a combination of values then the new archetype of plithogenic hypersoft sets gets emerged into decision making scenario. This research work is put forth to project the realistic perception of the experts in the construction process of optimal conclusions.

“Neutrosophic Sets and Systems” has been created for publications on advanced studies in neutrosophy, neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics that started in 1995 and their applications in any field, such as the neutrosophic structures developed in algebra, geometry, topology, etc. Some articles in this issue: Extension of HyperGraph to n-SuperHyperGraph and to Plithogenic n-SuperHyperGraph, and Extension of HyperAlgebra to n-ary (Classical-/Neutro-/Anti-)HyperAlgebra, Neutrosophic Triplet Partial Bipolar Metric Spaces, The Neutrosophic Triplet of BI-algebras.

The article focuses on combining the near set theory with plithogenic hypersoft sets. In addition, near plithogenic hypersoft sets on different environments have been discussed.

This theory considers every notion or idea together with its opposite or negation and with their spectrum of neutralities in between them (i.e. notions or ideas supporting neither nor ). The and ideas together are referred to as . Neutrosophy is a generalization of Hegel's dialectics (the last one is based on and only). According to this theory every idea tends to be neutralized and balanced by and ideas - as a state of equilibrium. In a classical way , , are disjoint two by two. But, since in many cases the borders between notions are vague, imprecise, Sorites, it is possible that , , (and of course) have common parts two by two, or even all three of them as well. Neutrosophic Set and Neutrosophic Logic are generalizations of the fuzzy set and respectively fuzzy logic (especially of intuitionistic fuzzy set and respectively intuitionistic fuzzy logic).
