In The Beginning

One of the main challenges in decision making is how to deal with uncertainty and vagueness. The classic uncertainty concept is probability, which goes back to the 17th century. Possible candidates for the title of father of probability are Bernoulli, Laplace, and Pascal. Some 40 years ago, Zadeh (1965) introduced the concept of fuzziness, which is sometimes interpreted as one form of probability. However, we will show that the terms fuzzy and probability are complementary. Recently, in the beginning of the ’80s, Pawlak (1982) suggested rough sets to manage uncertainties. The objective of this article is to give a basic introduction into probability, fuzzy set, and rough set theory and show their potential in dealing with uncertainty and vagueness. The article is structured as follows. In the next three sections we will discuss the basic principles of probability, fuzzy sets, and rough sets, and their relationship with each other. The article concludes with a short summary.

Object Oriented Database

This chapter discusses ways in which rough set theory can enhance databases by allowing for the management of uncertainty. Rough sets can be integrated into an underlying database model, relational or object oriented, and also used in design and querying of databases. Because rough sets are a versatile theory, they can also be combined with other theories. The authors discuss the rough relational database model, the rough object oriented database model, and fuzzy set and intuitionistic set extensions to each of these models. Comparisons and benefits of the various approaches are discussed, illustrating the usefulness and versatility of rough sets for uncertainty management in databases.

In this paper, we will visit Rough Set Theory and the Alternative Set Theory (AST) and elaborate a few selected concepts of them using the means of higher-order fuzzy logic (this is usually called Fuzzy Type Theory). We will show that the basic notions of rough set theory have already been included in AST. Using fuzzy type theory, we generalize basic concepts of rough set theory and the topological concepts of AST to become the concepts of the fuzzy set theory. We will give mostly syntactic proofs of the main properties and relations among all the considered concepts, thus showing that they are universally valid.

Soft Rough Set

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, we present concepts of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets, and investigate some properties of soft rough intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets in detail. Furthermore, classical representations of intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough approximation operators are presented. Finally, we develop an approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft rough sets based on decision making and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed approach.

Pawlak’s rough set theory based on single granulation has been extended to multi-granulation rough set structure in recent years. Multi-granulation rough set theory has become a flouring research direction in rough set theory. In this paper, we propose the notion of (α, β)-multi-granulation bipolar fuzzified rough set ((α, β)-MGBFRSs). For this purpose, a collection of bipolar fuzzy tolerance relations has been used. In the framework of multi-granulation, we proposed two types of (α, β)-multi-granulation bipolar fuzzified rough sets model. One is called the optimistic (α, β)-multi-granulation bipolar fuzzified rough sets ((α, β) o-MGBFRSs) and the other is called the pessimistic (α, β)-multi-granulation bipolar fuzzified rough sets ((α, β) p-MGBFRSs). Subsequently, a number of important structural properties and results of proposed models are investigated in detail. The relationships among the (α, β)-MGBFRSs, (α, β) o-MGBFRSs and (α, β) p-MGBFRSs are also established. In order to illustrate our proposed models, some examples are considered, which are helpful for applying this theory in practical issues. Moreover, several important measures associated with (α, β)-multi-granulation bipolar fuzzified rough set like the measure of accuracy, the measure of precision, and accuracy of approximation are presented. Finally, we construct a new approach to multi-criteria group decision-making method based on (α, β)-MGBFRSs, and the validity of this technique is illustrated by a practical application. Compared with the existing results, we also expound its advantages.

Proposed Model

The purpose of this paper is to establish a decision-making system for assembly clearance parameters and machine quality level by analyzing the data of assembly clearance parameters of diesel engine. Accordingly, we present an extension of the rough set theory based on mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) for rough set-based classification (MILP-FRST). Traditional rough set theory has two shortcomings. First, it is sensitive to noise data, resulting in a low accuracy of decision systems based on rough sets. Second, in the classification problem based on rough sets, the attributes cannot be automatically determined. MILP-FRST has the advantages of MILP in resisting noisy data and has the ability to select attributes flexibly and automatically. In order to prove the validity and advantages of the proposed model, we used the machine quality data and assembly clearance data of 29 diesel engines of a certain type to validate the proposed model. Experiments show that the proposed decision-making method based on MILP-FRST model can accurately determine the quality level of the whole machine according to the assembly clearance parameters.

Fuzzy Topological Spaces

This article describes how rough set theory has an innate topological structure characterized by the partitions. The approximation operators in rough set theory can be viewed as the topological operators namely interior and closure operators. Thus, topology plays a role in the theory of rough sets. This article makes an effort towards considering closed sets a primitive concept in defining multi-fuzzy topological spaces. It discusses the characterization of multi-fuzzy topology using closed multi-fuzzy sets. A set of axioms is proposed that characterizes the closure and interior of multi-fuzzy sets. It is proved that the set of all lower approximation of multi-fuzzy sets under a reflexive and transitive multi-fuzzy relation forms a multi-fuzzy topology.

Interesting Direction

It is an interesting direction to study rough sets from a multi-granularity perspective. In rough set theory, the multi-particle structure was represented by a binary relation. This paper considers a new neutrosophic rough set model, multi-granulation neutrosophic rough set (MGNRS). First, the concept of MGNRS on a single domain and dual domains was proposed. Then, their properties and operators were considered. We obtained that MGNRS on dual domains will degenerate into MGNRS on a single domain when the two domains are the same. Finally, a kind of special multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem was solved based on MGNRS on dual domains, and an example was given to show its feasibility.

Intelligent Technique

This chapter begins with a brief introduction of the theory of rough set. Rough set is an intelligent technique for handling uncertainty aspect in the data. This theory has been hybridized by combining with many other mathematical theories. In recent years, much decision making on rough set theory has been extended by embedding the ideas of fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and soft sets. In this chapter, the notions of fuzzy rough set and intuitionistic fuzzy rough (IFR) sets are defined, and its properties are studied. Thereafter rough set on two universal sets has been studied. In addition, intuitionistic fuzzy rough set on two universal sets has been extensively studied. Furthermore, we would like to give an application, which shows that intuitionistic fuzzy rough set on two universal sets can be successfully applied to decision making problems.
