The study on N-soft sets (NSSs) has been significantly developed recently. Hybrid models such as fuzzy N-soft sets, Intuitionistic fuzzy N-soft sets, and hesitant fuzzy N-soft sets were introduced to combine fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and hesitant fuzzy sets with NSSs. Related to the hybrid models, it was also constructed some complements, operations and related properties. This article aims to construct a new hybrid model called hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy N-soft sets (HIFNSSs) to combine intuitionistic fuzzy N-soft sets and hesitant fuzzy N-soft sets. Moreover, we generalise HIFNSSs to generalized hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy N-soft sets (GHIFNSSs) as a hybrid model between generalized hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy sets and N-soft sets. It was also defined some complements of GHIFNSSs, intersection and union operations between GHIFNSSs, and proved that the operations between some particular complements hold De Morgan Law. In applying a GHIFNSS, we provide an algorithm for decision-making problems and its numerical illustration.
