Abstract: Molodtsov introduced the theory of soft sets as a generalized tool for modelling complex systems involving uncertain or not clearly defined objects. In this paper the concepts of vague soft set relations are introduced as a sub-vague soft set of the Cartesian product of the vague soft sets and related concepts such as equivalent vague soft set relation, partition, composition and function along with some properties and illustrative examples.
