  • In this article, we present the idea of a hesitant multi-fuzzy set. We join the characteristics of a hesitant multi-fuzzy set with the parametrization of the soft set and constructs the hesitant multi-fuzzy soft set. We center around the fundamental operations for the instance of the hesitant multi-fuzzy soft subsets. Also, we look at the root mean square sum level soft set or RMSS-level soft set to deal with uncertainties. We also provide the utilization of hesitant multi-fuzzy soft set into the decision-making issues. Finally, we deliver a standard algorithm to resolve decision-making issues and test the effectiveness of it by a socialistic decision-making problem.
