Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present a new perspective for the similarity between soft sets. Therefore, the concept of similarity coefficient for soft sets are defined. Also, some theoretical investigations for this concept are presented. Finally, it is given examples of how this similarity coefficient can be used to solve the problems in various fields involving the uncertainty.

Esnek Kümelerin Benzerliğine Yeni Bir Yaklaşım

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı
esnek kümeler arasındaki benzerlik için yeni bir bakış açısı sunmaktır. Bu
bağlamda, ilk olarak esnek kümeler için benzerlik katsayısı kavramı
tanımlanmıştır. Ayrıca, bu kavram için bazı teorik araştırmalar sunulmuştur.
Son olarak, bu benzerlik katsayısının belirsizlik içeren çeşitli alanlardaki
problemleri çözmede nasıl kullanılabileceğinin örnekleri verilmiştir.

Keywords

Esnek küme, Esnek küme işlemleri, Benzerlik Katsayısı
