Maji et al. introduced the concept of fuzzy soft sets as a generalization of the standard soft sets and presented an application of fuzzy soft sets in a decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to apply the concept of fuzzy soft sets to n-ary hypergroup theory. The concepts of (∈γ, ∈γ∨q δ)-fuzzy soft (invertible) n-ary subhypergroups over a commutative n-ary hypergroup are introduced and some related properties and characterizations are obtained. The homomorphism properties of (∈γ, ∈γ∨q δ)-fuzzy soft (invertible) n-ary subhypergroups are also derived.
