Abstract

Although multiple occurrences of elements are immaterial in sets, in real life situations repetition of elements is useful. So, the notion of multisets (also called as bags) was introduced, where repetition of elements is taken into account. Fuzzy set, intuitionistic (a misnomer here as intuitionistic mathematics has nothing to do with its fuzzy counterpart) fuzzy sets, rough sets and soft sets are extensions of the basic notion of sets as they model uncertainty in data. Following this multisets have been extended to fuzzy multisets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, rough multisets and soft multisets. Many properties of basic sets have been extended to the context of multisets, fuzzy multisets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, rough multisets and soft multisets. Several applications of different multisets mentioned above are found in literature. In this chapter, it is our aim to introduce the different concepts of multisets, their properties, current status and highlight their applications.
