The relationship between \(L\)-fuzzy rough set and \(L\)-topology (Q409743): Difference between revisions

There exists a well-known one-to-one correspondence between preordered sets (i.e., sets equipped with a binary relation which is both reflexive and transitive) and Alexandroff topological spaces (i.e., topological spaces whose topologies are closed under arbitrary intersections). More precisely, given a preordered set \((X,\leq)\), the collection of all its upward closed subsets \(A\) (\(x\in A\) and \(x\leq y\) together imply \(y\in A\)) is an Alexandroff topology; conversely, given an Alexandroff topological space \((X,\mathcal{T})\), define \(x\leq y\) if and only if \(x\) lies in the closure of \(y\) (see, e.g., [\textit{M.~Aiello, J.~van Benthem} and \textit{G.~Bezhanishvili}, J. Log. Comput. 13, No. 6, 889--920 (2003; Zbl 1054.03015)] and notice that in case of arbitrary topological spaces, one gets just \(\leq=\leq_{\mathcal{T}_{\leq}}\) and \(\mathcal{T}\subseteq\mathcal{T}_{\leq_{\mathcal{T}}}\)). On the other hand, every Alexandroff topology is completely determined by its corresponding Alexandroff closure (resp. interior) operator (i.e., a closure (resp. interior) operator, which additionally preserves arbitrary unions (resp. intersections)), cf. [\textit{J.~Järvinen}, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4374. Journal Subline, 400--498 (2007; Zbl 1186.03069)]. These operators stand in one-to-one correspondence to upper (resp. lower) approximations induced on powersets by reflexive and transitive binary relations (preorders). The above approximations in their turn generalize those, which are used in the definition of rough sets of [\textit{Z.~Pawlak}, Int. J. Comput. Inform. Sci. 11, No. 5, 341--356 (1982; Zbl 0501.68053)], and which rely on equivalence relations (add symmetry). The authors of the present manuscript extend the above-mentioned one-to-one correspondence to lattice-valued preorders [\textit{L.~Fan}, ``A new approach to quantitative domain theory'', Electron. Notes Theor. Comput. Sci. 45, 77--87 (2001)] and lattice-valued topological spaces [\textit{J.~A.~Goguen}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 43, 734--742 (1973; Zbl 0278.54003)], employing generalized lattice-valued rough sets based in residuated lattices of [\textit{A.~M.~Radzikowska} and \textit{E.~E.~Kerre}, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3135. Journal Subline, 278--296 (2004; Zbl 1109.68118)]. The new framework, however, puts an additional requirement on the involved topologies, i.e., the condition of stratification, which is a modified version of the concept of [\textit{R.~Lowen}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 56, 621--633 (1976; Zbl 0342.54003)] (topologies include all constant maps).
