Rough set theory is a suitable tool for dealing with the imprecision, uncertainty, incompleteness, and vagueness of knowledge. In this paper, new lower and upper approximation operators for generalized fuzzy rough sets are constructed, and their definitions are expanded to the interval-valued environment. Furthermore, the properties of this type of rough sets are analyzed. These operators are shown to be equivalent to the generalized interval fuzzy rough approximation operators introduced by Dubois, which are determined by any interval-valued fuzzy binary relation expressed in a generalized approximation space. Main properties of these operators are discussed under different interval-valued fuzzy binary relations, and the illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the main features of the proposed operators.

Generalized Rough Set

Soft rough sets which are a hybrid model combining rough sets with soft sets are defined by using soft rough approximation operators. Soft rough sets can be seen as a generalized rough set model based on soft sets. The present paper aims to combine the covering soft set with rough set, which gives rise to the new kind of soft rough sets. Based on the covering soft sets, we establish soft covering approximation space and soft covering rough approximation operators and present their basic properties. We show that a new type of the soft covering upper approximation operator is smaller than soft upper approximation operator. Also we present an example in medicine which aims to find the patients with high prostate cancer risk. Our data are 78 patients from Selçuk University Meram Medicine Faculty.

Basic Concepts

Rough set theory is an important tool for data mining. Lower and upper approximation operators are two important basic concepts in the rough set theory. The classical Pawlak rough approximation operators are based on equivalence relations and have been extended to relation-based generalized rough approximation operators. This paper presents topological properties of a pair of relation-based generalized rough approximation operators. A topology is induced by the pair of generalized rough approximation operators from an inverse serial relation. Then, connectedness, countability, separation property and Lindel?f property of the topological space are discussed. The results are not only beneficial to obtain more properties of the pair of approximation operators, but also have theoretical and actual significance to general topology.

Rough Approximation

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model called N-soft rough sets, which can be seen as a combination of rough sets and N-soft sets. Moreover, approximation operators and some useful properties with respect to N-soft rough approximation space are introduced. Furthermore, we propose decision making procedures for N-soft rough sets, the approximation sets are utilized to handle problems involving multi-criteria decision-making(MCDM), aiming at electing the optional objects and the possible optional objects based on their attribute set. The algorithm addresses some limitations of the extended rough sets models in dealing with inconsistent decision problems. Finally, an application of N-soft rough sets in multi-criteria decision making is illustrated with a real life example.

By combining interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy sets with rough sets, the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy rough set model is first constructed in this paper. The connections between special interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy relations and interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy approximation operators are established subsequently. Then, we study the axiomatic characterizations of interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy lower and upper approximation operators. Different axiom sets of interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set-theoretic operators ensure the existence of different types of interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy relations producing the same operators. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the practical application of the newly proposed model.

Rough set theory is one of important models of granular computing. Lower and upper approximation operators are two important basic concepts in rough set theory. The classical Pawlak approximation operators are based on partition and have been extended to covering approximation operators. Covering is one of the fundamental concepts in the topological theory, then topological methods are useful for studying the properties of covering approximation operators. This paper presents topological properties of a type of granular based covering approximation operators, which contains seven pairs of approximation operators. Then, topologies are induced naturally by the seven pairs of covering approximation operators, and the topologies are just the families of all definable subsets about the covering approximation operators. Binary relations are defined from the covering to present topological properties of the topological spaces, which are proved to be equivalence relations. Moreover, connectedness, countability, separation property and Lindel?f property of the topological spaces are discussed. The results are not only beneficial to obtain more properties of the pairs of covering approximation operators, but also have theoretical and actual significance to general topology.

Special Instance

The optimistic multigranulationT-fuzzy rough set model was established based on multiple granulations underT-fuzzy approximation space by Xu et al., 2012. From the reference, a natural idea is to consider pessimistic multigranulation model inT-fuzzy approximation space. So, in this paper, the main objective is to make further studies according to Xu et al., 2012. The optimistic multigranulationT-fuzzy rough set model is improved deeply by investigating some further properties. And a complete multigranulationT-fuzzy rough set model is constituted by addressing the pessimistic multigranulationT-fuzzy rough set. The full important properties of multigranulationT-fuzzy lower and upper approximation operators are also presented. Moreover, relationships between multigranulation and classicalT-fuzzy rough sets have been studied carefully. From the relationships, we can find that theT-fuzzy rough set model is a special instance of the two new types of models. In order to interpret and illustrate optimistic and pessimistic multigranulationT-fuzzy rough set models, a case is considered, which is helpful for applying these theories to practical issues.

Rough set theory is one of the most advanced areas popularizing GrC. The basic notions in rough set theory are the lower and upper approximation operators. A rough set algebra is a set algebra with two additional lower and upper approximation operators. In this chapter, we analyze relation based rough set algebras in both crisp and fuzzy environments. We first review the constructive definitions of generalized crisp rough approximation operators, rough fuzzy approximation operators, and fuzzy rough approximation operators. We then present the essential properties of the corresponding lower and upper approximation operators. We also characterize the approximation operators by using the axiomatic approach. Finally, the connection between fuzzy rough set algebras and fuzzy topological spaces is established.

Comprehensive Study

As a generalization of single value neutrosophic rough sets, the concept of multi-granulation neutrosophic rough sets was proposed by Bo et al., and some basic properties of the pessimistic (optimistic) multigranulation neutrosophic rough approximation operators were studied. However, they did not do a comprehensive study on the algebraic structure of the pessimistic (optimistic) multigranulation neutrosophic rough approximation operators. In the present paper, we will provide the lattice structure of the pessimistic multigranulation neutrosophic rough approximation operators. In particular, in the one-dimensional case, for special neutrosophic relations, the completely lattice isomorphic relationship between upper neutrosophic rough approximation operators and lower neutrosophic rough approximation operators is proved.

Set Approximation

Fuzzy sets, rough sets, and later on IF sets became useful mathematical tools for solving various decision making problems and data mining problems. Molodtsov introduced another concept soft set theory as a general frame work for reasoning about vague concepts. Since most of the data collected are either linguistic variable or consist of vague concepts so IF set and soft set help a lot in data mining problem. The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of IF soft lower rough approximation and IF upper rough set approximation. Also, some properties of this set are studied, and also some problems of decision making are cited where this concept may help. Further research will be needed to apply this concept fully in the decision making and data mining problems.
