A recent study published in African Scientific Reports introduces complex fuzzy multisets, a mathematical framework that combines the multiplicity of fuzzy multisets with the complex-valued membership grades of complex fuzzy sets. The framework represents membership intensity, phase information, and repeated occurrences of elements simultaneously. The researchers formally define complex fuzzy multisets and establish operations including inclusion, complement, intersection, union, Cartesian product, rotation, and reflection. They also prove that the framework satisfies key algebraic properties such as involution, idempotence, commutativity, associativity, distributivity, De Morganโs laws, and absorption, forming a distributive lattice with an involution. The study further defines image and inverse image under mappings and provides a theoretical foundation for future applications in multi-source data fusion, periodic signal processing, and reasoning under uncertainty with repeated observations.
