Soft Set Notes

Soft set theory is a generalization of fuzzy set theory that was proposed by Molodtsov in 1999 to deal with uncertainty in a parametric manner. A soft set is a parameterized family of sets where the boundary of the set depends on the parameters. Mappings on soft sets were defined in 2009 by Kharal and Ahmad, with their results published in 2011. Soft sets have also been applied to medical diagnosis and fuzzy soft sets have been introduced, with mappings on fuzzy soft sets defined and studied by Kharal and Ahmad.

Soft set

Soft set theory is a generalization of fuzzy set theory, that was proposed by Molodtsov in 1999
to deal with uncertainty in a parametric manner.[1] A soft set is a parameterised family of sets -
intuitively, this is "soft" because the boundary of the set depends on the parameters. Formally, a
soft set, over a universal set X and set of parameters E is a pair (f, A) where A is a subset of E,
and f is a function from A to the power set of X. For each e in A, the set f(e) is called the value set
of e in (f, A).

One of the most important steps for the new theory of soft sets was to define mappings on soft
sets, which was achieved in 2009 by the mathematicians Athar Kharal and Bashir Ahmad, with the
results published in 2011.[2] Soft sets have also been applied to the problem of medical
diagnosis for use in medical expert systems. Fuzzy soft sets have also been introduced.
Mappings on fuzzy soft sets were defined and studied by Kharal and Ahmad.[3]
