Fuzzy rough sets are intuitionistic \(L\)-fuzzy sets (Q1292118): Difference between revisions

The concepts of intuitionistic \(L\)-fuzzy sets (IL-FS) [see \textit{K. Atanassov} and \textit{S. Stoeva}, ``Intuitionistic \(L\)-fuzzy sets'', in: R. Trappl (ed.), Cybernetics and systems research 2, 539-540 (1984; Zbl 0547.03030)], which are extensions of the IFSs [\textit{K. T. Atanassov}, ``Intuitionistic fuzzy sets'', Fuzzy Sets Syst. 20, 87-96 (1986; Zbl 0631.03040)] and of rough sets [\textit{Z. Pawlak}, ``Rough sets and fuzzy sets'', ibid. 17, 99-102 (1995; Zbl 0588.04004)] are described. The author proves the following Theorem: Let \(U\) be a nonempty set, \(\langle L,\leq\rangle\) a complete distributive lattice whose least element and greatest element are denoted by 0 and 1, respectively, with an involutive order-reversing operation \(':L\to L\), and \(B\) be a Boolean subalgebra of the set of all subsets of \(U\). Then any fuzzy rough set in \(X\in B^2\) is an IL-FS in \(U\). This theorem is important for determining the relations between the different extensions of ordinary fuzzy sets.
