Abstract
In this paper, a different approach is used to define a cartesian product on soft sets. This method processes both alternatives and parameters. The notion of the cartesian product is then used to define the idea of a soft relation. The concepts of reflexion, symmetry and transition are defined on the soft relation. Some properties are investigated. Also, the soft function notion is introduced. Various instances are provided as the key characteristics of the structures that are being presented are analyzed. Finally, an application is presented by building a decision making algorithm on the soft relation.
期刊介绍:
Computational & Applied Mathematics began to be published in 1981. This journal was conceived as the main scientific publication of SBMAC (Brazilian Society of Computational and Applied Mathematics).
The objective of the journal is the publication of original research in Applied and Computational Mathematics, with interfaces in Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Operations Research, Statistics, Social Sciences and Economy. The journal has the usual quality standards of scientific international journals and we aim high level of contributions in terms of originality, depth and relevance.
