Abstract
Cubic sets are the very useful generalization of fuzzy sets where one is allowed to extend the output through a subinterval of  and a number from . Generalized cubic sets generalized the cubic sets with the help of cubic point. On the other hand Soft sets were proved to be very effective tool for handling imprecision. Semigroups are the associative structures have many applications in the theory of Automata. In this paper we blend the idea of cubic sets, generalized cubic sets and semigroups with the soft sets in order to develop a generalized approach namely generalized cubic soft sets in semigroups. As the ideal theory play a fundamental role in algebraic structures through this we can make a quotient structures. So we apply the idea of neutrosophic cubic soft sets in a very particular class of semigroups namely weakly regular semigroups and characterize it through different types of ideals. By using generalized cubic soft sets we define different types of generalized cubic soft ideals in semigroups through three different ways. We discuss a relationship between the generalized cubic soft ideals and characteristic functions and cubic level sets after providing some basic operations. We discuss two different lattice structures in semigroups and show that in the case when a semigroup is regular both structures coincides with each other. We characterize right weakly regular semigroups using different types of generalized cubic soft ideals. In this characterization we use some classical results as without them we cannot prove the inter relationship between a weakly regular semigroups and generalized cubic soft ideals. This generalization leads us to a new research direction in algebraic structures and in decision making theory.
    1. Introduction
To handle uncertainty in many real world problems the existing methods are not sufficient. To reduce these uncertainties, a few sorts of speculations were presented like hypothesis of fuzzy sets [], intuitionistic fuzzy sets [] and rough sets []. These sets have some limitations so Molodtsov [] initiated the new approach namely soft sets which is a new theory and has the ability to capture the uncertainty in a better way. After this many researchers used the idea of soft sets in many directions, such as Maji et al. [], Maji et al. [], Aktas and Cagman [], and Jun et al. [,]. Maji et al. [] initiated the study of fuzzy soft sets. After this many researcher used fuzzy soft sets such as, Roy et al. [], Yang [] and Kharal et al. []. Zhou et al. developed the idea of intutionistic fuzzy soft sets which extend the idea of fuzzy soft sets [].
Another general version of fuzzy sets and intutionistic fuzzy sets was presented by Jun et al. [] namely the cubic sets. After that jun et al. [,,,] applied cubic sets in different directions such as in BCK/BCI-algebras. Since then cubic sets were actively being used in many areas such as Akram et al. [], in KU-subalgebras, Aslam et al. [], in -semihypergroups, Gulistan et al. [], in weak left almost semihypergroups, Gulistan et al. [], in regular LA-semihypergroups, Khan et al. [], in LA-semihypergroups, Ma et al. [], in H-LA-semihypergroups, Yaqoob et al. [], on cubic KU-ideals of KU-algebras, Yaqoob et al. [], in cubic hyperideals in LA-semihypergroups. Khan et al. [] presented the idea of the generalized version of Jun’s cubic sets in semigroups and several others like, Abughazalah and Yaqoob [], Rashid et al. [].
Recently, Yin and Zhan [] introduced more general forms of -fuzzy filters and define -fuzzy filters and gave some interesting results in terms of these notions. See also [,,].
On the other hand semigroups are the very useful associative algebraic structures which has many application in different directions. A very particular class of semigroups namely right weakly regular semigroups was discussed by Feng et al. [] and Khan et al. in []. A valuable application of the group of symmetries can be see in network fibres by Mallat [] in 2016.
Since we see that the idea of fuzzy soft sets and intutionistic fuzzy soft sets generalize the concept of soft sets so its natural to blend generalized cubic sets presented by Khan et al. in [] with Molodtsov’s [] soft sets and apply on the right weakly regular semigroups studied by Feng et al. [] and Khan et al. []. Thus we initiate the study of special types of cubic soft ideals in semigroups with some interesting properties. We discuss some lattice structures formed by generalized cubic soft ideals of semigroups. We also provide an application of the current proposal and conclusion is given at the end.

5. Characterizations of Right Weakly Regular Semigroups in Terms of Generalized Cubic Soft Ideals
Based on the useful results obtained above taken from the paper [], we now characterize right weakly regular semigroups by the properties of their -cubic soft ideals, -cubic soft (generalized) bi-ideals and -cubic soft interior ideals.

        and
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        Now we show that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        Since S is right weakly regular therefore for each  there exists  such that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
       So we have
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        so  On the other hand consider

 is obvious.
 Let  for all -cubic soft right ideal  -cubic soft generalized bi-ideal  and -cubic soft interior ideal  of S. Assume that ,  and  are right, generalized bi and interior ideals of S respectively, then by Lemma 1, ,  and  are -cubic soft right ideal and -cubic soft generalized ideal and -cubic soft interior ideal of S. So by hypothesis we have
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        Hence
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        Thus
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
       Hence S is right weakly regular by Theorem 3. □
6. Application
In the following we provide some applications of generalized cubic soft sets.
As for as the applications of generalized cubic soft sets are concern, one can find its applications in the following directions:
- In algebra where one can use generalized cubic soft sets in different directions, as we used in the right weakly regular semigroups.
 - In decision making theory where one can have more reliable decision as compared to the previously defined version of fuzzy sets.
 - In practical applications by using algebraic structures and decision making theory with the use of generalized cubic soft sets.
 
We provide an application of generalized cubic soft sets as mention in the point 3.
To compare two generalized cubic soft sets values we define score function as follows:
      
Definition 19. 
Let  be a cubic soft of S, we define score function as
      
        
      
      
      
      
    where.
Example 2. 
Consider a group of colleges consisting of three college namely  Let  a binary operation on S with the following Cayley table,
      
        
      
      
      
      
    (S, ∗) is a weakly regular semigroup. Define a generalized cubic soft setin S by the following table 
      
        
      
      
      
      
    based on the parameters given in the set A like student strength. Further  denotes the membership of a college (u, v, w) for future and  denotes membership of a college (u, v, w) in the present time in the group S based on the parameters student strength. The panel imposes some extra conditions on the colleges as;
      
        
      
      
      
      
    It is obvious that  is a -cubic subsemigroup of S. Now in order to find that which college plays a dominant role in the group, we use the score function given in Definition 19, and we get
      
        
      
      
      
      
    Thus according to score function, we have w > u > v.
This means that the college w is the best of all in a certain district under the parameters students’ strength. We may consider other parameters like teaching faculty, available facilities, labs and libraries etc. Finally we conclude that the college w should be considered as a cluster college for all the other colleges under consideration. The main advantage of the cluster college is that it can handle many problems at the district level like teacher’s transfer etc. The cluster college will provide every kind of information and recommendations to the higher authorities of the province under his domain. Favoritism is the main disadvantage of the cluster system, which cannot be overcome through our presented model. A neutral penal of experts may help such a deficiency.
7. Conclusions
In this paper we introduced the concept of generalized cubic soft sets which is the most general approach and characterize the right weakly regular semigroups in terms of generalized cubic soft ideals. This paper generalizes the idea of Feng et al. [] and Khan et al. []. Since semigroups has the applications in the theory of automata so the technique of generalized cubic soft sets will be very beneficial. To help better understanding of our work Interdependence of various concepts is shown in Figure 1.

In future we are aiming to use generalized cubic soft sets in decision making theory, automata theory and in signal processing. We found a very valuable application of the group of symmetries in [], where author shows that "network fibres combine invariances along groups of symmetries and distributed pattern representations, which could be sufficiently stable to explain transfer learning of deep networks". In future we are aiming to find applications of generalized cubic soft sets with semigroups by extending the idea presented by Mallat [] in 2016.
