Roughness bounds in rough set operations (Q2509237)

Roughness indicates the significance of the uncertain elements of a rough set. This paper presents some bounds for rough set operations. The bounds obtained for the union as well as for the difference of rough sets depend on their operand's roughnesses. The roughness of the complement of a set is bounded with the ratio between the cardinalities of the upper approximations of the set and the universe, and it does not depend on the roughness of the set. The roughness of the intersection of two sets is always between \(0\) and \(1\).
