Maji et. al. [2] firstly presented the concept of fuzzy soft set by combining the theories of fuzzy set and soft set together. Rosenfeld [3] proposed the concept of fuzzy groups in order to establish the algebraic structures of fuzzy sets.Aktas and Çagman [6] introduced the notion of soft groups, which extends the notion of group to include the algebraic structures of soft sets. Recently, in order to tackle the difficulty in establishing the degree of membership of an element in a set, Torra and Narukawa [7] and Torra [8] proposed the concept of a hesitant fuzzy set.The purpose of this paper is to extend the soft groups to the hesitant fuzzy set, and, thus, we establish a new soft group model named hesitant fuzzy soft group. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. We first review some background on soft set, fuzzy soft set, and hesitant fuzzy set, hesitant fuzzy soft set in Section 2. In Section 3, the concepts and operations of hesitant fuzzy soft groups are proposed and their properties are discussed in detail.In Section 4, we define the image and pre-image of a hesitant soft set under a soft function, and then define soft homomorphism between hesitant fuzzy soft groups. We prove the image and pre-image of a hesitant fuzzy soft group are also hesitant fuzzy soft groups. In Section 5, we give the definition of a normal hesitant fuzzy soft group and study some of their properties.
