Notes on the lattice of fuzzy rough sets with crisp reference sets

Abstract

Since the theory of rough sets was introduced by Zdzislaw Pawlak, several approaches have been proposed to combine rough set theory with fuzzy set theory. In this paper, we examine one of these approaches, namely fuzzy rough sets with crisp reference sets, from a lattice-theoretic point of view. We connect the lower and upper approximations of a fuzzy relation RR to the approximations of the core and support of RR. We also show that the lattice of fuzzy rough sets corresponding to a fuzzy equivalence relation RR and the crisp subsets of its universe is isomorphic to the lattice of rough sets for the (crisp) equivalence relation EE, where EE is the core of RR. We establish a connection between the exact (fuzzy) sets of RR and the exact (crisp) sets of the support of RR.
