Dear Colleagues,

The development of fuzzy set theory is still in its infancy, but it has undergone numerous diversifications. Academics and practitioners have granted considerable attention to fuzzy sets theory, which has been applied in a range of fields. Furthermore, fuzzy information is capable of representing uncertain data, and its several extensions can be applied to a vast range of multi-criteria evaluation and decision-making problems. Many domains, including the sciences, engineering, economics, and management, have also incorporated fuzzy systems and fuzzy set extensions into their decision-making processes.

Soft computing, on the other hand, is a relatively novel paradigm that offers tools and techniques for handling incomplete and/or uncertain information regarding real-world problems. The theory of uncertainty depends heavily on fuzzy sets. For complicated linguistic and numerical modelling applications, fuzzy sets and soft computing offer a wide array of theoretical and practical tools.

This Special Issue aims to publish original or review articles that focus on the current advances in, methodologies, and applications of fuzzy set extensions. Special attention will be paid to research works that address practical problems with regard to the application of decision-making methods in fuzzy modeling, fuzzy information fusion, multi-criteria decision making, and soft computing. Contributions that attend to the following topics are particularly welcome: :

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
