Zadeh’s fuzzy sets are very useful tool to handle imprecision and uncertainty, but they are unable to characterize the negative characteristics in a certain problem. This problem was solved by Zhang et al. as they introduced the concept of bipolar fuzzy sets. Thus, fuzzy set generalizes the classical set and bipolar fuzzy set generalize the fuzzy set. These theories are based on the set of real numbers. On the other hand, the set of complex numbers is the generalization of the set of real numbers so, complex fuzzy sets generalize the fuzzy sets, with wide range of values to handle the imprecision and uncertainty. So, in this article, we study complex bipolar fuzzy sets which is the generalization of bipolar fuzzy set and complex fuzzy set with wide range of values by adding positive membership function and negative membership function to unit circle in the complex plane, where one can handle vagueness in a much better way as compared to bipolar fuzzy sets. Thus this paper leads us towards a new direction of research, which has many applications in different directions. We develop the notions of union, intersection, complement, Cartesian product and De-Morgan’s laws of complex bipolar fuzzy sets. Furthermore, we develop the complex bipolar fuzzy relations, fundamental operations on complex bipolar fuzzy matrices and some operators of complex bipolar fuzzy matrices. We also discuss the distance measure on complex bipolar fuzzy sets and complex bipolar fuzzy aggregation operators. Finally, we apply the developed approach to a numerical problem with the algorithm.
Fuzzy sets and their extensions: In 1965, Zadeh [1] presented the idea of fuzzy sets. to solve difficulties in dealing with uncertainties. Since then, the theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic have been examined by many researchers to solve many real life problems involving ambiguous and uncertain environment. Atanassov [2, 3], initiated the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy set, which is the generalization of fuzzy set and a more meaningful as well as intensive due to the presence of degree of truth and falsity membership. Later, many researcher have done work on IFSs and add valuable contribution to IFS literature. Smarandache [4] in 1999, define the theme of ņeutrosophic sets, which is the most generalize version of fuzzy sets. The concept of bipolar set was first initiated by Zhang et al. [5, 6], which is the generalization of fuzzy set by adding negative membership term. This is familiar that the scope of each positive membership and negative membership functions are restricted to [-1, 1]. The notion of fuzzy matrix was first introduced by Kim et al. [24]. By the use of IFSs, first time the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrix space presented by Mondal et al. [7], where he introduced some basic operator on the basis of weights. Also Adak et al. [8] introduced intuitionistic fuzzy block matrix and its determinant. Some operations on IFSs presented by Fathi [9]. For applications in decision making problems we refer the reader [10–15].
Complex fuzzy sets and their extensions: There are several researchers who worked at complex number and fuzzy sets, for instance Buckly [19], Nguyen et al. [18] and Zhang et al. [20]. On the other hand Ramot et al. [16] presented an presented the idea that is entirely different from other researchers, wherever they extensive the variety of membership function to unit circle in the complex plane. Further to solve enigma they added an extra terms which is called phase term in translating human language to complex valued functions on physical terms and vice versa. Rikarour et al. [17], studied different aspect of complex fuzzy sets. The notion of complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets was introduced by Abdulazeez et al. [21]. The author introduced CIFS lies in its capability for membership and non-membership capacities to get excess scope of qualities. Husban et al. [22] worked on complex intuitionistic fuzzy groups which depends on the notion of complex intuitionistic fuzzy space from the genuine rang of membership function and non membership function [0, 1] . Distance measure in complex Atanassove’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets was given by Abdulazeez et al. [23]. Kim et al. [24], studied generalized fuzzy matrices. More about complex fuzzy sets can be seen in [25–40]. For more about the complex version of neutrosophic sets, we refer the reader [41–43].
Complex bipolar fuzzy sets: Being motivated from the concept of complex fuzzy set which is the generalization of fuzzy sets, we extended the idea of bipolar fuzzy sets in the complex plan and introduce the idea of complex bipolar fuzzy sets, which is the generality of complex fuzzy sets and bipolar fuzzy sets. Thus we combine two sets in order to develop a more powerful technique which has the ability to capture the uncertainty in a more better way. We explain union, intersection, complement, Cartesian product and De-Morgan’s Laws of complex bipolar fuzzy sets. We prove some other properties and propositions of complex bipolar fuzzy sets. We explain complex bipolar fuzzy relations, fundamental operations on complex bipolar fuzzy matrices and some operators of complex bipolar fuzzy matrices. Furthermore, we also explain distance Measure on complex bipolar fuzzy sets and complex bipolar fuzzy aggregation. At the end we give a numerical example of distance measure between complex bipolar fuzzy sets.
Preliminaries
Here in this section we gathered some basic helping materiel.
Definition 2.1. [1] A function f is defined from a universe to a closed interval [0, 1] is called fuzzy set.

In this part first we define S and T norms on bipolar fuzzy sets, by use of [9], after this we introduce the concept of CBFS with example. We also introduce some basic operations on it, such as union, intersection, complement and Cartesian product.

and
We conclude in this section that the conventional union functions given by (see Definition 3.1.) for bipolar fuzzy sets are relevant only to the amplitude terms of complex status of positive membership and negative membership functions (i.e. the properties for complex bipolar fuzzy union function that have to satisfy are the same as properties of function given by Mohammad Fathi, known as S-norm). Thus, we can use any S-norm such as intuitionistic algebraic sum, Yager S-norm and others that were introduced by Mohammad Fathi [9], to show a lot of applications (or examples) on amplitude phrase on complex bipolar fuzzy union. With the positive and negative membership functions of are known, respectively, by:

Application
As an application of the presented theory we in this section quoted a real life example. We us the following algorithm to solve the real life problem.
Algorithm:

Step-4. Finally rank all the complex bipolar distance measure. S
Output: Smallest the value of complex bipolar distance measure, greater the chances of having the optimal choice.
Example 7.1. Assume that the company A settles on a choice to purchase bus from a busmaker B. The busmaker B offers company A several data buses to three exemplars of each exemplar for different periods. Thus the company A got three exemplars (Bus1, Bus2, and Bus3) on the same time for selection. The investigators’ group of the company chose that five qualities ought to be considered. They are Q1: constancy, Q2: most elevated shipment, Q3: buying value, Q4: greatest quickness, and Q5: dependability. But these qualities will be influenced and modified if the making date is diverse for the coordinating exemplar of buses. That judgment is made by the group to build on its experience and information. In this way, we can get "yes,""no," "I don’t identify," or "I am not certain" In response to this decision, the preferred buses. Accordingly, as noted above, the best technique is, this kind of data to CBFS (i.e. are data on individual choice, which once happened in a while), where in each of the exemplar of a new bus, prospects and customers have divergent thinking. To be precise, we assume that the investigators’ group of the company has proposed a perfect bus, before accepting the particular data from busmaker B. The reason for the group is to pick a fitting bus recognized by busmaker B that is the most plausible to be the perfect bus. A while later, every investigator in the choice group gives each bus’s quality a rang -1 or 1 they show what the bus corresponds to the standard or not, and gives a score of 0, for example when you are not sure of the date bus. For example, assuming that the panel found that no less than 60% consider that the bus is the perfect exemplar of appropriate quality primary; and not more than 10% of the investigators imagine a perfect exemplar of the poor quality of the bus, where this method is used to detect the amplitude terms of both the positive and negative membership work individually in CBFS. The phase terms that present making date for first nature of perfect bus can be given as below: if the group of experts felt that no less than 70% of them assume that the perfect making date of bus is fitting at the principal quality; and not over 16% of them trust that the perfect making date of bus is of low standard. Thus, the perfect bus’s first quality can be given as (0.6ei2π(0.7), - 0.1e-2π(0.16)i. In this manner, all data is made in good CBFS, where both amplitude and phase terms of bipolar can show data on vulnerability (see Table 1). Let ∂(Busj, P.B.) be a separation calculate between complex bipolar fuzzy sets Busj and P.B. Along these lines, the exemplar can be presented as takes after:
Bus data and the perfect bus.
(Q1,Bus1)
(0.5ei2π(0.4), - 0.2e-2π(0.3)i)
(Q1,Bus2)
(0.7ei2π(0.3), - 0.3e-2π(0.4)i)
(Q1,Bus3)
(0.6ei2π(0.1), - 0.4e-2π(0.7)i)

(Q2,Bus2)
(0.8ei2π(0.1), - 0.9e-2π(0.2)i)
(Q2,Bus3)
(0.3ei2π(0.5), - 0.8e-2π(0.2)i)

(Q4,Bus2)
(0.5ei2π(0.6), - 0.8e-2π(0.1)i)
(Q4,Bus3)
(0.6ei2π(0.9), - 0.2e-2π(0.4)i)
(Q4,Perfect Bus)
(0.8ei2π(0.3), - 0.5e-2π(0.7)i)

(Q5,Bus2)
(0.6ei2π(0.3), - 0.8e-2π(0.3)i)
(Q5,Bus3)
(0.2ei2π(0.5), - 0.9e-2π(0.3)i)
(Q5,Perfect Bus)
(0.3ei2π(0.4), - 0.2e-2π(0.7)i)
Step-1.
Step-2. Assume the investigators’ group gives the weight for each quality as below. Let ω1 = 0.1, ω2 = 0.7, ω3 = 0.6, ω4 = 0.3, ω5 = 0.3, ,and show the weight for each quality. Let α1 = 0.1, β1 = 0.6 and σ1 = 0.3 weight for amplitude term, and α2 = 0.3, β2 = 0.3 and σ2 = 0.4 weight for phase term.
Step-3. To recognize the perfect bus data in Table 1, we need to exchange information distance formula (Definitions 6, 6) to calculate the values between each bus (Busj, j = 1, 2, 3) and the perfect bus (P,B.):
For the first quality Q1, (i = 1), the distance is given as takes after:
Similarly, we compute the distances for Bus1 for each quality, ∂ (Bus1,2, P. ∂ (Bus1,3, P. ∂ (Bus1,4, P.Bus1,5, P.
Step-4. Then, ∂ (Bus1, P.B.Bus1, P.B.) =0.1703 . Similarly, we compute the distance values for ∂ (Bus2, P.B.) =0.2464, and ∂ (Bus3, P.B.) =0.3043 . Therefore, ∂ (Bus1, P.B.) =0.1703 is the smallest value, so Bus1 is the desired bus.
Comparison analysis
The idea of complex bipolar fuzzy sets generalize the idea of bipolar fuzzy sets and as well as the idea of complex fuzzy sets. If we restrict the newly defined complex bipolar fuzzy sets to the real parts only by assuming the imaginary parts equal to zero we get bipolar fuzzy sets defined by Zhang et al. [5, 6]. On the other hand if we consider only the positive membership in complex bipolar fuzzy sets we get complex fuzzy sets [16].
Conclusions
Here we initiated in this paper the idea of complex bipolar fuzzy sets. We defined different operations and properties regarding complex bipolar fuzzy sets. Moreover, we elaborated the complex bipolar fuzzy relations, basic operations on complex bipolar fuzzy matrices and some operators of complex bipolar fuzzy matrices. We explained distance measure on complex bipolar fuzzy sets and complex bipolar fuzzy aggregation. Lastly we proved a numerical example of distance measure between complex bipolar fuzzy sets. In future we are focusing at complex bipolar fuzzy groups, complex bipolar fuzzy graphs, complex bipolar decision making problems and complex bipolar neutrosophic sets.
