Abstract
In practical applications, the basic fuzzy set is used via symmetric uncertainty variables. In the research field, it is comparatively rare to discuss two-fold uncertainty due to its complication. To deal with the multi-polar uncertainty in real life problems, m-polar (multi-polar) fuzzy (m-PF) sets are put forward. The main objective of this paper is to explore the idea of m-PF sets, which is a generalization of bipolar fuzzy (BPF) sets, in ternary semirings. The major aspects and novel distinctions of this work are that it builds any multi-person, multi-period, multi-criteria, and complex hierarchical problems. The main focus of this study is to confine generalization of some important results of BPF sets to the results of m-PF sets. In this research, the notions of m-polar fuzzy ternary subsemiring (m-PFSS), m-polar fuzzy ideal (m-PFI), m-polar fuzzy generalized bi-ideal (m-PFGBI), m-polar fuzzy bi-ideal (m-PFBI), and m-polar fuzzy quasi-ideal (m-PFQI) in ternary semirings are introduced. Moreover, this paper deals with several important properties of m-PFIs and characterizes regular and intra-regular ternary semiring in terms of these ideals.
