1. Introduction
Through his significant theory on fuzzy sets, Zadeh [1] made the first effective attempt in mathematical modeling to contain non-probabilistic uncertainty, i.e. uncertainty that is not caused by randomness of an event. The study of fuzzy calculus plays a vital role in the field of mathematics due to its useful applications in variety of scientific domains including statistics, applied mathematics, dynamics and mathematical biology. Many applications of fuzzy mathematics can be found in engineering, bio-mathematics and basic sciences. A novel technique to solve the fuzzy system of equations has been presented by Mikaeilvand et al. [2]. Also many applications of fuzzy integral equations have been presented by various authors [3, 4]. A fuzzy set is one in which each element of the universe belongs to it, but with a value or degree of belongingness that falls between 0 and 1, and these values are referred to as the membership value of each element in that set. Chang [5] was the first to propose the concept of fuzzy topology later on.
Pawlak [6] introduces Rough set theory in 1992 as a substitute mathematical tool for describing reasoning and deciding how to handle vagueness and uncertainty. This theory uses equivalence relations to approximate sets, and it is used in conjunction with the principal non-statistical techniques to data analysis. Lower and upper approximations are two definite sets that commonly characterise a rough set. The greatest definable set included inside the given collection of objects is the lower approximation, whereas the smallest definable set that contains the provided set is the upper approximation. Rough set concepts are frequently stated in broad terms using topological operations such as interior and closure, which are referred to as approximations.
Lellis Thivagar [7] introduced a new topology called nano topology in 2013, which is an extension of rough set theory. He also created Nano topological spaces, which are defined in terms of approximations and the boundary region of a subset of the universe using an equivalence relation. The Nano open sets are the constituents of a Nano topological space, while the Nano closed sets are their complements. The term “nano” refers to anything extremely small. Nano topology, then, is the study of extremely small surfaces. Nano topology is based on the concepts of approximations and indiscernibility relations. In addition, in [8], nano

Multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) is a decision-making process that takes into account the best possible options. Decisions were taken in mediaeval times without taking into account data uncertainties, which could lead to a potential outcome. Inadequate outcomes have real-life consequences. If we deduced the consequence of obtained data without hesitancy, the results would be ambiguous, indeterminate, or incorrect. Without hesitation, I determined the result of the obtained data. MADM had a significant impact on Management, disease diagnosis, economics, and industry are examples of real-world problems. Each decision maker makes hundreds of decisions each time to carry out the key component. It should be a logical assessment of his or her job. MADM is a programme that helps you tackle difficult problems. For this, there are complex problems with a variety of parameters. The problem must be identified in MADM by defining viable alternatives, assessing each alternative against the criteria established by the decision-maker or community of decision-makers, and finally selecting the optimal alternative. To deal with the complications and complexity of MADM problems, a range of useful mathematical methods such as fuzzy sets, neutrosophic sets, and soft sets were developed.
Zafer et al. [18] introduced and developed the MADM method based on rough fuzzy information. Several mathematicians have worked on correlation coefficients, similarity measurements, aggregation operators, topological spaces, and decision-making applications in this area. These structures feature better decision-making solutions and provide distinct formulas for diverse sets. It has a wide range of applications in domains such as medical diagnosis, pattern identification, social sciences, artificial intelligence, business, and multi-attribute decision making. The problems associated with these cases are interesting, and developing a hypothesis for them has prompted many scholars [19–21] to pay attention to them Motivation and objective. No investigation on fuzzy nano

The specific technique to deal with selecting the correct qualities and alternatives in a decision-making situation utilising fuzzy sets is proposed in the following fundamental steps.
Step 1: Problem field selection: Consider the universe of discourse (set of objects)
Step 2: Construct a fuzzy matrix of alternative verses objects and object verses decision attributes. Calculation Part:

Step 4: Construct the fuzzy nano topologies

Step 6: Organize the fuzzy score values of the alternatives
7.1. Numerical example
New medical breakthroughs have expanded the number of data available to clinicians, which includes vulnerabilities. The process of grouping multiple sets of symptoms under a single term of illness is extremely challenging in medical diagnosis. In this section, we use a medical diagnosis problem to demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the above-mentioned approach.
Step 1: Problem field selection: Consider the following tables, which provide information from five patients who were consulted by physicians, Patient 1 (Pat 5), Patient 2 (Pat 5), Patient 3 (Pat 5), Patient 4 (Pat 5), Patient 5 (Pat 5) and symptoms are Weight gain (Wg), Tiredness (Td), Myalgia (Ml), Swelling of legs (Sl), Mensus Problem (Mp). We need to find the patient and to find the disease such as Lymphedema, Insomnia, Hypothyroidism, Menarche, Arthritis of the patient. The data in Tables 1 and 2 are explained by the membership, the indeterminacy and the non-membership functions of the patients and diseases respectively.

8. Final thoughts and future work
This paper adds to the growing body of knowledge about fuzzy nano topological spaces. The obtained results show that most of the offered concepts’ nano topological features are kept in the framework of fuzzy nano topologies, implying that some topological prerequisites are unnecessary. Because the study’s limitations are relaxed, exploring nano topological notions using fuzzy nano topologies has a benefit. On the other hand, by extending fuzzy nano

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce fuzzy nano (resp. δ, δS, P and Z) locally closed set and fuzzy nano (resp. δ, δS, P and Z) extremally disconnected spaces in fuzzy nano topological spaces. Also, we introduce some new spaces called fuzzy nano (resp. δ, δS, P and Z) normal spaces and strongly fuzzy nano (resp. δ, δS, P and Z) normal spaces with the help of fuzzy nano (resp. δ, δS, P and Z)-open sets in fuzzy nano topological space. Numerical data is used to quantify the provided features. Furthermore, using fuzzy nano topological spaces, an algorithm for multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) with an application in medical diagnosis is devised.
