Abstract

Many effective tools in fuzzy soft set theory have been proposed to handle various complicated problems in different fields of our real life, especially in decision making. Molodtsov's soft set theory has been regarded as a newly emerging mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. Lattice ordered multi-fuzzy soft set (LMFSS) has been applied in forecasting process. However, similarity measure is not used in this application. In our research, similarity measure of LMFSS is proposed to calculate the similarity between two LMFSSs. Moreover, some of its properties are introduced and proved. Finally, an application of LMFSS in decision making using similarity measure is analysed.
