Abstract
Hesitant fuzzy sets find extensive application in specific scenarios involving uncertainty and hesitation. In the context of set theory, the concept of inclusion relationship holds significant importance as a fundamental definition. Consequently, as a type of sets, hesitant fuzzy sets necessitate a clear and explicit definition of the inclusion relationship. Based on the discrete form of hesitant fuzzy membership degrees, this study proposes multiple types of inclusion relationships for hesitant fuzzy sets. Subsequently, this paper introduces foundational propositions related to hesitant fuzzy sets, as well as propositions concerning families of hesitant fuzzy sets. Furthermore, this research presents foundational propositions regarding parameter reduction of hesitant fuzzy information systems. An example and an algorithm are provided to demonstrate the parameter reduction processes. Lastly, a multi-strength intelligent classifier is proposed for diagnosing the health states of complex systems.
