Abstract: Soft set theory, proposed by Molodtsov, has been regarded as an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty. In this work, new soft model, called the generalised multi-fuzzy bipolar soft model is proposed, and an algorithm based on this notion is presented. Some basic properties of this concept are studied and the related results are investigated. Finally, an application based on generalised multi-fuzzy soft sets in decision making is analyzed.
