Abstract

In this paper, we motivate and introduce the concept of N-soft set as an extended soft set model. Some useful algebraic definitions and properties are given. We cite real examples that prove that N-soft sets are a cogent model for binary and non-binary evaluations in numerous kinds of decision making problems. Finally, we propose decision making procedures for N-soft sets.
