Abstract

This inaugural editorial outlines the evolution of fuzzy set theory from one-dimensional to multi-dimensional frameworks. It highlights key extensions—such as intuitionistic, Pythagorean, and spherical fuzzy sets—and their growing role in modeling uncertainty with greater flexibility. The editorial sets the stage for the IECE Transactions on Advanced Fuzzy Systems, a new journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on fuzzy set theory and its advanced extensions.
