Complex vague soft sets and its distance measures

摘要

In this paper, we propose the concept of complex vague soft sets which are vague soft sets defined in a complex setting. Based on this new concept we define some concepts related to this notion as well as some basic operations namely the complement, union, intersection, AND and OR. The basic properties and relevant laws pertaining to this concept such as the De Morgan's laws are also verified. We introduce the axiomatic definition of the distance function between two complex vague soft sets and subsequently define several distance measures between complex vague soft sets. Finally some of the algebraic properties of these distance measures are verified.
