Abstract
A soft semigroup is an algebraic structure that extends the concept of a traditional semigroup by incorporating soft sets, which are a generalization of classical sets that allow for the representation of uncertainty and vagueness. In a soft semigroup, the binary operation is defined over soft elements rather than traditional elements. The application of soft semigroups is diverse and spans various fields, including decision-making, expert systems, and data analysis, where uncertainties and imprecisions are present. Soft semigroups provide a powerful framework for modeling situations where the exact membership of elements in a set is not well-defined. The properties of soft semigroups encompass those of conventional semigroups, such as closure under the operation, associativity, and the existence of an identity element. However, they also introduce additional features due to the soft nature of elements, such as the manipulation of membership degrees and the propagation of uncertainty through operations. The structure of a soft semigroup consists of a non-empty set of soft elements equipped with a binary operation that respects the soft set operations, like union and intersection. Soft semigroups can be represented through matrices, mappings, or algebraic equations, showcasing their flexibility in modeling diverse scenarios with uncertain information. In soft semigroups provide a theoretical foundation and practical tools for handling uncertain and vague information within a semigroup framework. Their applications range from decision systems to data analysis, and their properties and structural components enable the manipulation and propagation of uncertainty in various contexts.
