TLDR
Some decision making methods based on (fuzzy) soft sets, rough soft sets and soft rough sets are reviewed, providing several novel algorithms in decision making problems by combining these kinds of hybrid models.
Abstract
Fuzzy set theory, rough set theory and soft set theory are all generic mathematical tools for dealing with uncertainties. There has been some progress concerning practical applications of these theories, especially, the use of these theories in decision making problems. In the present article, we review some decision making methods based on (fuzzy) soft sets, rough soft sets and soft rough sets. In particular, we provide several novel algorithms in decision making problems by combining these kinds of hybrid models. It may be served as a foundation for developing more complicated soft set models in decision making.

Group decision-making methods based on hesitant N-soft sets

TL;DR: A new hybrid model called hesitant N- soft sets is introduced by a suitable combination of hesitancy with N-soft sets, a model that extends N-hard sets and investigates some useful properties and construct fundamental operations on them.
