1. Introduction
In 1965, Zadeh [
1] presented the theory of fuzzy sets and discussed their initiatory results. The action of fuzzy set theory is a decisive structure to deal vagueness and uncertainty in real life problems. Thus, crisp sets commonly do not have suitable response and feedback for actual worldly conditions of happening issues. In addition, this particular set plays a remarkable role in various scientific fields with wide applications in topological spaces, medical diagnosis determination, coding theory, computer sciences, and module theory.
The idea of fuzzy subgroups was introduced by Rosenfeld [
2] in 1971. The abstraction of fuzzy subrings was proposed by Liu [
3]. Later, these notions were discussed in [
4,
5,
6]. Atanassov [
7] initiated the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and established the basic algebraic properties of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The complex numbers with fuzzy sets were combined by Buckley [
8]. Kim [
9] presented the idea of the fuzzy order of elements of a group. Ajmal [
10] established the fuzzy homomorphism theorems of fuzzy subgroups. He also discussed the fuzzy quotient group and correspondence theorem.
Ray [
11] initiated the notion of Cartesian product of fuzzy subgroup. Moreover, the volume and intricacy which exist in the collected information of our daily life are developing rapidly with the phase shift of data. Then, there is regularly existing various sorts of uncertainty in that information is represented with complicated problems in different disciplines, such as biology, economics, social science, computer science, mathematics, and environmental science. With the development of science and technology, the decision making problems are becoming increasingly difficult.
To overcome this drawback, Ramot et al. [
12,
13] presented the generalized form of fuzzy set by combining a phase term, called a complex fuzzy set. The efficiency of complex fuzzy logic in the respect of membership has a powerful role to deal with concrete problems. It is highly valuable for calculating unevenness, and also it is very useful way to address ambiguous ideas. Despite its efficacy, we have serious problems about physical features on complex membership related function.
Thus, it is highly essential to formulate extra theories of complicated fuzzy set relating intricate set members. This reasoning is a direct version of traditional fuzzy logic, which results in problem related fuzzy reasoning. Thus, it is not favorable for superficial membership function. This set has a very specific role in wide variety of applications in modern commanding systems especially those that forecast periodic events in which a number of variables are interconnected in complex ways and fuzzy operations cannot run it effectively.
The fundamental set theoretic operations of complex fuzzy sets were presented by Zhang et al. [
14]. Recently, the possible applications, which explain the novel ideas, including complex fuzzy sets in forecasting issues, solar activity, and time series were investigated by Thirunavukarasu et al. [
15]. The complex fuzzy sets have wide applications in decision making, image restoration, and reasoning schemes. Ameri et al. [
16] invented the of Engel fuzzy subgroups in 2015. The notion of complex vague soft sets were defined by Selvachandran [
17]. Al-Husban and Salleh [
18] developed a connection between complex fuzzy sets and group theory in 2016.
Singh et al. [
19] discussed the link between complex fuzzy set and metric spaces. In 2016, Thirunavukarasu et al. [
20] depicted the abstraction of complex fuzzy graph and find energy of this newly defined graph. In 2017, Alsarahead and Ahmed [
21,
22,
23] presented a new abstraction of complex fuzzy subgroup. They also introduced novel conception complex fuzzy subring and complex fuzzy soft subgroups. These abstractions are completely different from Rosenfeld fuzzy subgroups [
2] and Liu fuzzy subring [
3]. The parabolic fuzzy subgroups were introduced by Makamba and Murali [
24]. Then, certain algebraic properties of Engel fuzzy subgroups were discussed in [
25].
Moreover, the Mohamadzahed et al. [
26] established the novel concept of nilpotent fuzzy subgroup. The fuzzy homomorphism structures on fuzzy subgroups was discussed by Addis [
27]. The algebraic structure between fuzzy sets and normed rings were proposed in [
28]. Gulistan et al. [
29] presented the notion of 
-complex fuzzy hyper-ideal and investigated many algebraic properties of this phenomena. Liu and Shi [
30] presented a novel framework to fuzzification of lattice, which is known as an 
M-hazy lattice. The complex fuzzy sub-algebra commenced in [
31].
Currently, the novel environment of complex fuzzy set in decision making problems has been used frequently [
32,
33,
34,
35,
36,
37,
38], owing to the existence of complex fuzzy information in several practical situations. Gulzar et al. [
39] published a inventive theory of complex fuzzy subfields. The new development about 
Q-complex fuzzy subring was introduced in [
40]. For other useful results of fuzzy subgroups not mentioned in the article, readers are referred to [
41,
42,
43,
44,
45,
46,
47].
The motivation of the proposed concept is explained as follows: (1) To present a more generalized concept, i.e., -complex fuzzy sets. (2) Note that for  and , our proposed definition can be converted into a classical complex fuzzy set. The purpose of this paper is to present the study of -complex fuzzy sets and -complex fuzzy subgroups as a powerful extension of complex fuzzy sets and complex fuzzy subgroups.
We organized this article as follows: 
Section 2 contains the basic notions of complex fuzzy sets (CFSs), complex fuzzy subgroups (CFSGs), and associated results, which are important for our paper. In 
Section 3, we expound the abstraction of 
-complex fuzzy set (CFS) and 
-complex fuzzy subgroup (
-CFSG). We prove that every complex fuzzy subgroup (CFSG) is also an 
-complex fuzzy subgroup (
-CFSG) and discuss fundamental properties of this newly defined CFSG. In 
Section 4, we explicate the 
-complex fuzzy cosets and 
-complex fuzzy normal subgroups (
-CFNSGs) and investigate many algebraic characteristics of these specific groups. Moreover, we find the quotient group with respect to 
-complex fuzzy cosets and prove the 
-complex fuzzy quotient group. We initiate the definition of the index of 
-CFSG and develop the 
-complex fuzzification of Lagrange’s Theorem.
  3. Algebraic Properties of -Complex Fuzzy Subgroups
In this section, we define the hybrid models of -CFSs and -CFSGs. We prove that every CFSG is also -CFSG but the converse may not be true generally, and we discuss some basic characterization of this phenomenon.

G. □
 Remark 5. The union of two -CFSGs may not be -CFSG.
 Example 2. Consider a symmetric group  of all permutation of four elements. Define two -CFSGs  and  of  for the value  given as:This implies thatTake ,  and . Therefore,   and  Clearly, we can see thatHence, this proves the claim.    4. -Complex Fuzzification of Lagrange’s Theorem
In this section, we investigate the algebraic attributions of -CFNSGs. We start the study of the concept of -complex fuzzy cosets of -CFSG and develop a quotient group induced by this particular CFNSGs. We also establish -CFSG of classical quotient group and prove some important properties of these CFNSGs. Moreover, we discuss -complex fuzzification of Lagrange’s heorem.

 The converse of the above result does not hold generally. In the following example, we explain this fact.
Example 4. Let  be the dihedral group.
Let A be a CFS of G and described as:Note that A is not a CFNSG of group G. For . Now, we take , and we obtain  Next, we prove that every -CFSG of group G will be -CFNSG of group G, for some specific values of  and . In this direction, we prove the following results.
