Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications in Decision Making II

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of our first Special Issue on Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications in Decision Making, we are excited to announce the second volume in this series. The previous Special Issue attracted a wide range of high-quality submissions, highlighting innovative applications and advancements in fuzzy set theory across various domains. Building on this momentum, the second volume aims to further explore and expand the theoretical and practical applications of fuzzy set theory in decision making under uncertainty.

Fuzzy set theory continues to be a cornerstone in addressing uncertainties inherent in decision-making processes. Its versatility and robustness make it indispensable for modeling and solving MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision-Making) problems. This Special Issue will focus on both the mathematical foundations and the application of fuzzy set theory in solving real-world decision-making challenges.

Scope and Topics:

In line with the journal's emphasis on mathematics, mathematical logic, and mathematical physics, we encourage submissions that delve into the mathematical aspects of fuzzy set theory, including its integration with other mathematical disciplines. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Mathematical foundations of fuzzy set theory: advances in theory, including new types of fuzzy sets (e.g., type-2 fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets), fuzzy operators, and their properties.
• Fuzzy logic and mathematical logic: the role of fuzzy logic in mathematical reasoning, formal systems, and the development of new logical frameworks.
• Fuzzy MCDM models: development and enhancement of MCDM methods using fuzzy set theory, addressing problems in areas such as environmental sustainability, healthcare, and supply chain management.
• Fuzzy hybrid models: integrative approaches that combine fuzzy set theory with other mathematical and computational techniques.
• Recent and advanced fuzzy operators: exploration of new and sophisticated fuzzy operators, including T-norms, T-conorms, and aggregation operators.
• Fuzzy optimization: innovations in fuzzy programming, goal programming, and the integration of fuzzy set theory with operations research techniques.
• Fuzzy-based decision support systems: design and implementation of decision support systems that leverage fuzzy logic for improved decision-making accuracy in uncertain environments.
• Fuzzy relational operators: advances in fuzzy relational operators and their applications in various domains.
• Applications in mathematical physics: exploration of how fuzzy set theory can contribute to solving problems in mathematical physics, including modeling and simulations.
• Comparative studies and case studies: empirical studies that compare fuzzy-set-theory-based methods with traditional approaches, and case studies that demonstrate practical applications in various fields.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that reflect fuzzy set theory's latest advancements and applications in decision making and optimization.

By contributing to this Special Issue, you will help shape the future of fuzzy set theory and its applications, providing valuable insights and tools for both the academic community and industry practitioners.
