Novel results on G -lower L -fuzzy rough approximation operator in ( O , G ) -fuzzy rough set model1

Abstract

Lately, Jiang and Hu (H.B. Jiang, B.Q. Hu, On ( O , G ) -fuzzy rough sets based on overlap and grouping functions over complete lattices, Int. J. Approx. Reason. 144 (2022) 18-50.) put forward ( O , G ) -fuzzy rough sets via overlap and grouping functions over complete lattices. Meanwhile, they showed the characterizations of O -upper and G -lower L -fuzzy rough approximation operators in ( O , G ) -fuzzy rough set model based on some of specific L -fuzzy relations and studied the topological properties of the proposed model. Nevertheless, we discover that the partial results given by Jiang and Hu could be further optimized. So, as a replenish of the above article, in this paper, based on G -lower L -fuzzy rough approximation operator in ( O , G ) -fuzzy rough set model, we further explore several new conclusions on the relationship between G -lower L -fuzzy rough approximation operator and different L -fuzzy relations. In particular, the equivalent descriptions of relationship between G -lower L -fuzzy rough approximation operator and O -transitive ( O -Euclidean) L -fuzzy relations are investigated, which are not involved in above literature and can make the theoretical results of this newly fuzzy rough set model more perfect.
