Tesis por compendio / Mathematical models have extensively been used in problems related to
engineering, computer sciences, economics, social, natural and medical sciences
etc. It has become very common to use mathematical tools to solve,
study the behavior and different aspects of a system and its different subsystems.
Because of various uncertainties arising in real world situations,
methods of classical mathematics may not be successfully applied to solve
them. Thus, new mathematical theories such as probability theory and fuzzy
set theory have been introduced by mathematicians and computer scientists
to handle the problems associated with the uncertainties of a model. But
there are certain deficiencies pertaining to the parametrization in fuzzy set
theory. Soft set theory aims to provide enough tools in the form of parameters
to deal with the uncertainty in a data and to represent it in a useful
way. The distinguishing attribute of soft set theory is that unlike probability
theory and fuzzy set theory, it does not uphold a precise quantity. This
attribute has facilitated applications in decision making, demand analysis,
forecasting, information sciences, mathematics and other disciplines.
In this thesis we will discuss several algebraic and topological properties
of soft sets and fuzzy soft sets. Since soft sets can be considered as setvalued
maps, the study of fixed point theory for multivalued maps on soft
topological spaces and on other related structures will be also explored.
The contributions of the study carried out in this thesis can be summarized
as follows:
i) Revisit of basic operations in soft set theory and proving some new
results based on these modifications which would certainly set a new
dimension to explore this theory further and would help to extend its
limits further in different directions. Our findings can be applied to
develop and modify the existing literature on soft topological spaces
ii) Defining some new classes of mappings and then proving the existence
and uniqueness of such mappings which can be viewed as a positive
contribution towards an advancement of metric fixed point theory
iii) Initiative of soft fixed point theory in framework of soft metric spaces
and proving the results lying at the intersection of soft set theory and
fixed point theory which would help in establishing a bridge between
these two flourishing areas of research.
iv) This study is also a starting point for the future research in the area of
fuzzy soft fixed point theory. / Abbas, M. (2014). Soft Set Theory: Generalizations, Fixed Point Theorems, and Applications [Tesis doctoral]. Universitat Politècnica de València. https://doi.org/10.4995/Thesis/10251/48470 / Compendio
