1. Introduction
The concept of interval arithmetic was first suggested by Dwyer [10] in 1951. Chiao.[9] introduced sequence of interval numbers
and defined usual convergence of sequences of interval number. A set is called an interval number if it consisting of a closed
interval of real numbers x such that a x b . A real interval can also be considered as a set. Thus we can investigate some
properties of interval numbers, for instance arithmetic properties or analysis properties. We denote the set of all real valued closed
intervals by IR. Any elements of IR is called closed interval and denoted by x. That is x {x : a x b }. An interval
number x is a closed subset of real numbers (see [9]). Let x1 and xr be first and last points of x interval number, respectively.
For x1 , x2 IR, we have x1 x2 x1l x2l , x1r x2r . x1 x2 {x : x1l x2l x x1r x2r }, and if 0,
then x {x : x1l x x1r } and if 0, then x {x : x1r x x1l } ,
x1.x2 {x : min{ x1l .x2l , x1l .x2r , x1r .x2l , x1r .x2r } x max{ x1l .x2l , x1l .x2r , x1r .x2l , x1r .x2r }}.

The most appropriate theory for dealing with uncertainties is the theory of fuzzy sets, introduced by L.A. Zadeh [31] in 1965. This
theory brought a paradigmatic change in mathematics. But there arise difficulty that how to set the membership function in each
particular case. The Hesitant fuzzy set, as one of the extensions of Zadeh [31] fuzzy set, allows the membership degree that an
element to a set presented by several possible values, and itcan express the hesitant information more comprehensively than other
extensions of fuzzyset. Torra and Narukawa [24] introduced the concept of hesitant fuzzy set. Xu and Xia [30] defined the
concept of hesitant fuzzy element, which can be considered as the basic unit ofa hesitant fuzzy set, and is a simple and effective
tool used to express the decision makers hesitant preferences in the process of decision making. So many researchers has done
lots of research work on aggregation, distance, similarity and correlation measures, clustering analysis, and decision making with
hesitant fuzzy information. Babitha and John [3] defined another important soft set i.e. Hesitant fuzzy soft sets. They introduced
basic operations such as intersection, union, compliment and De Morgan's law was proved. Chen et al. [8]extended hesitant fuzzy
sets into interval-valued hesitant fuzzy environment and introduced the concept of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets. Zhang et al.
[32] introduced some operations such as complement, "AND","OR", ring sum and ring product on interval-valuedhesitant fuzzy
soft sets.

There are many theories like theory of probability, theory of fuzzy sets, and theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, theory of rough sets
etc. which can be considered as mathematical tools for dealing with uncertain data, obtained in various fields of engineering,
physics, computer science, economics, social science, medical science, and of many other diverse fields. But all these theories
have their own difficulties. The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (see[1, 2]) is a more generalized concept than the theory of fuzzy
sets, but this theory has the some difficulties. All the above mentioned theories are successful to some extent in dealing with

problems arising due to vagueness present in the real world. But there are also cases where these theories failed to give
satisfactory results, possibly due to inadequacy of the parameterization tool in them. As a necessary supplement to the existing
mathematical tools for handling uncertainty, Molodtsov [16] introduced the theory of soft sets as a new mathematical tool to deal
with uncertainties while modelling the problems in engineering, physics, computer science, economics, social sciences, and
medical sciences. Molodtsov et.al [17] successfully applied soft sets in directions such as smoothness of functions, game theory,
operations research, Riemann integration, Perron integration, probability, and theory of measurement. Maji et al [13] gave the first
practical application of soft sets in decision-making problems. Maji et al [14] defined and studied several basic notions of the soft
set theory. Also Cagman et al [6] studied several basic notions of the soft set theory. V. Torra[23, 24] and Verma and Sharma [25]
discussed the relationship between hesitant fuzzy setand showed that the envelope of hesitant fuzzy set is an intuitionistic fuzzy
set. Zhang et.al [32] introduced weighted interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets and finally applied it indecision making problem.
The notion of topological space is defined on crisp sets and hence it is affected by differentgeneralizations of crisp sets like fuzzy
sets and soft sets. In 1968, C. L. Chang [7] introduced fuzzy topological space and in 2011, subsequently Cagman et al. [6] and
Shabir et al. [21]introduced fuzzy soft topological spaces and studied neighborhood. Mahanta et al. [12],Neog et al. [18] and Ray
et al. [20] introduced fuzzy soft topological spaces in different direction.
In this paper, in section 3, first we give a counter example of equality of IVHFSSs proposed by Zhang et al. [32]. Secondly we
point out that proposition 3.11 in a previous paper by Borah and Hazarika [4] true in general by counter example. Thirdly we
introduce about notion of topological space.

2. Preliminaries and Definitions

In this section we recall some basic concepts and definitions regarding fuzzy soft sets, hesitant fuzzy set and hesitant fuzzy soft
set.
~
Definition2.1. [15] Let U be an initial universe and F be a set of parameters. Let P (U ) denote the power set of U and A be a non-
~ ~
empty subset of F. Then FA is called a fuzzy softset over U, where F : A P (U ) is a mapping from A into P (U ) .
Definition2.2. [16] FE is called a soft set over U if and only if F is a mapping of E intothe set of all subsets of the set U.
In other words, the soft set is a parameterized family of subsets of the set U. Every set F ( ), ~ E, from this family may be
considered as the set of element of the soft set FE oras the set of approximate elements of the soft set.
Definition2.3. [2, 28] Let intuitionistic fuzzy value IFV(X) denote the family of all IFVs defined on the universe X and let
, IFV ( X ) be given as:
( , ), ( , ),
(i) (min( , ), max( , ))
(ii) (max( , ), min( , ))

(iii) * ( , )
2( , 1 ) 2( , 1 )
Definition2.4. [23] Given a fixed set X, then a hesitant fuzzy set (shortly HFS) in X isin terms of a function that when applied to X
returns a subset of [0, 1]. We express the HFSby a mathematical symbol:
F { h, F ( x) : h X }, where F (x) is a set of some values in [0, 1], denoting thepossible membership degrees of
the element h X to the set F. F (x) is called a hesitantfuzzy element (HFE) and H is the set of all HFEs.
Definition2.5. [23] Let 1` , 2 H and three operations are defined as follows:
(i) 1C {1 1};
1 1

(ii) 1 2 , max{ 1 , 2 };
1 1 2 2

(iii) 1 2 , min{ 1 , 2 };
1 1 2 2

Definition2.6. [8] Let X be a reference set, and D[0, 1] be the set of all closed subintervalsof [0, 1]. An IVHFS on X is
F { hi , F (hi ) : hi X , i 1,2,..., n}, where F (hi ) : X D[0,1] denotes all possible interval-valued membership

degrees of the element hi X to theset F. For convenience, we call F (hi ) an interval-valued hesitant fuzzy element
(IVHFE),which reads F (hi ) { : F (hi )}.
Here [ , ] is an interval number. L inf and U sup
L U
represent the lower and upper limits of respectively.
An IVHFE is the basic unit of an IVHFS and it can be considered as a special case of the IVHFS. The relationship between
IVHFE and IVHFS is similar to that between interval-valued fuzzy number and interval-valued fuzzy set.

Example2.7. Let U {h1 , h2 } be a reference set and let F (h1 ) {[0.6,0.8], [0.2,0.7]} F (h2 ) {[0.1,0.4]} be the
IVHFEs of hi (i 1,2) to a set F, respectively. Then IVHFS F can be written as

F { h1 ,{[0.6,0.8],[0.2,0.7]} , h2 ,{[0.1,0.4]} }.

~ ~ ~
Definition2.8. [29] Let a~ [a~ L , a~U ] and b [b L , b U ] be two interval numbers and 0, then
(i) a~ b~ a~ L b~ L anda~U b~U ;
~ b~ [a~ L b~ L , a~U b~U ] ;
(ii) a
~ [a~ L , a~U ] ,especially a~ 0, if 0.
(iii) a
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Definition2.9. [29] Let a~ [a~ L , a~U ] and b [b L , b U ] and let la a~U a~ L and lb b U b L ; then the degree of
~
a~ b is formulated by
possibility of
~
~ ~ b U a~ L
p(a b ) max{1 max( ,0),0}

Above equation is proposed in order to compare two interval numbers and to rank all theinput arguments.

Definition2.10. [8] For an IVHFE ~, s( ~)
l ~
~~ ~ is called the score function of with l ~ being the number of the

interval values in ~ , and s( ~) is an interval value belongingto [0, 1]. For two IVHFEs 1 and 2 , if s(~1 ) s(~2 ) ,then
1 2 .We can judge the magnitude of two IVHFEs using above equation.

(ii) ~1 ~2 {[max( 1L , 2 L ), max( 1U , 2U )] : ~1 ~1 , ~2 ~2 };

Proposition2.12. [8] For three IVHFEs , 1 and 2 , we have

(i) ~1C ~2 C (~1 ~2 )C ;

Definition2.13. [26] Let U be an initial universe and E be a set of parameters. Let F (U ) be the set of all hesitant fuzzy subsets of
~
U. ThenFE is called a hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS)over U,where F : E F (U ) .

F ( ) { h, F ( )( x ) : h U },
Since HFE can represent the situation, in which different membership function are consideredpossible (see [23]), F ( )( x ) is a set
~ ~
of several possible values, which is the hesitant fuzzymembership degree. In particular, if F ( ) has only one element, F ( ) can
be called a hesitantfuzzy soft number. For convenience, a hesitant fuzzy soft number (HFSN) is denoted by { h, F ( )( x ) }.

Example2.14. Suppose U {h1 , h2 } be an initial universe and E {e1 , e2 , e3 , e4 } be aset of parameters. Let A {e1 , e2 }
.Then the hesitant fuzzy soft set FA is given as
FA {F (e1 ) { h1 ,{0.6,0.8} , h2 ,{0.8,0.4,0.9} }
F (e2 ) { h1 ,{0.9,0.1,0.5} , h2 ,{0.2} }}.
Definition2.15. [32] Let (U,E) be a soft universe and A E. Then FA is called an intervalvalued hesitant fuzzy soft set over U,
where F is a mapping given by F : A IVHF (U ). An interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft set is a parameterized family of
interval-valued hesitantfuzzy subset of U. That is to say, F(e) is an interval-valued hesitant fuzzy subset in U, e A. Following
the standard notations, F(e) can be written as
~
F (e) { h, F (e)( x ) : h U }.

Example2.16. Suppose U {h1 , h2 } be an initial universe and E {e1 , e2 , e3 , e4 } be aset of parameters. Let A {e1 , e2 }
.Then the interval valued hesitant fuzzy soft set FA is given as
FA {e1 { h1 ,[0.6,0.8] , h2 ,[0.1,0.4] }
e2 { h1 ,[0.2,0.6],[0.3,0.9] , h2 ,[0.2,0.5],[0.2,0.8],[0.2,0.8] }}.

Definition2.17. [32] Let U be an initial universe and let E be a set of parameters. Supposing that ~ E, F and F are two
A, B A B

interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets, one says that FA is an interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft subset of GB if and only if
(i) A ~ B,

Where for all e ~ A,
1 and 2 stand for the kth largest interval number in theIVHFEs F ( e)( x ) and G ( e)( x ) respectively.
In this case, we write ~G .
FA A

Definition2.18. [32] The complement of FA , denoted by FA C ,is defined by

~C
FA (e) { h, F~C ( e)( x ) : h U }.

where F C : A IVHF (U ) is a mapping given by F~ ~ A such that ~ is thecomplement of interval-valued

3. Interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft topological space

In this section, first we give a counter example of equality of IVHFSSs proposed by Zhang et al. [32]. Secondly we point out that
proposition 3.11 in a previous paper by Borahand Hazarika [4] true in general by counter example. Thirdly we introduce about
notion oftopological space.

Definition3.1. [32] Let FA and GB be two interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets. Now
FA and GB are said to be interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft equal if and only if
~ G , (ii) G
(i) FA ~F ,
B B A

This can be denoted by FA GB .

Example3.2. Let,
FA {e1 { h1 ,[0.2,0.5] , h2 ,[0.5,0.8],[0.4,0.9] },
e2 { h1 ,[0.3,0.6],[0.4,0.8] , h2 ,[0.6,0.8] }}.
G A {e1 { h1 ,[0.2,0.5],[0.2,0.5] , h2 ,[0.5,0.8],[0.4,0.9] },
e2 { h1 ,[0.3,0.6],[0.4,0.8] , h2 ,[0.6,0.8],[0.6,0.8] }}.
Therefore
~G ,
FA ~
A and G A FA .

Hence
FA GA .
Proposition3.3. Let FA ,
GB and H C be three interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets. Then the following are satisfied:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(i) FA (GB H C ) ( FA GB ) ( FA H C ),
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
(ii) FA (GB H C ) ( FA GB ) ( FA H C ).
Proof. We consider IVHFSSs.
FA {e1 { h1 ,[0.3,0.8] , h2 ,[0.3,0.8],[0.5,0.6],[0.3,0.6] },
e2 { h1 ,[0.2,0.9],[0.7,1.0] , h2 ,[0.8,1.0],[0.2,0.6] }}.
GB {e1 { h1 ,[0.7,0.9],[0.0,0.6] , h2 ,[0.4,0.7],[0.4,0.5] },
e2 { h1 ,[0.6,0.8] , h2 ,[0.3,0.8],[0.3,0.6] }

complement FA is a interval-valued hesitant fuzzysoft open set in (U , E, ).
Definition3.9. Let (U , E, ) be a IVHFSTS. Let FA be a IVHFSS over (U , E ). The interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft closure
of FA is defined as the intersection of all interval-valuedhesitant fuzzy soft closed sets(IVHFSCSs) which contained FA and is
denoted by cl ( FA ) or FA . We write

Example3.10. From example 3.5, we have

e3 { h1 , [0.0,0.0], [0.0,0.0] , h2 , [0.0,0.0], [0.0,0.0] }}.

Then interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft closed sets are

Suppose interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft set I C over (U , E ) as

Proposition3.11. Let (U , E, ) be a IVHFSTS and FA , GB be two IVHFSs over (U , E ).
