Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Real-life problems involving incomplete and inadequate information cannot be modelled well using classical (crisp) sets. To better model real-life problems, fuzzy sets were introduced in the literature. Further, many generalizations of fuzzy sets have been developed to solve real-life engineering problems. Fuzzy sets and their generalizations have wide applications in the field of image processing, information retrieval, data mining, etc. As we know, real-life data collection with respect to a specific management problem involves imprecise and incomplete information. Hence, we also plan to discuss various decision-making methods used to potentially solve such problems. Most appropriate and realistic decisions are possible when we model a problem using fuzzy sets and their generalizations. The main aim of this Special Issue is to study the various generalizations of fuzzy sets mathematically. Additionally, we aim to host discussions on the wide range of applications of these generalizations in solving real-life engineering and management problems. This Special issue provides a platform for researchers worldwide to discuss their present and unpublished work in the fields of engineering and management. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Ranking of fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers
- Aggregation operators on various classes of fuzzy sets and their generalizations
- Similarity measures on various generalizations of fuzzy sets
- Distance measure-based similarity measures
- Information retrieval applications
- Image processing applications
- Fermatean fuzzy sets and their applications in decision-making.

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.
