In this paper, we take a GL-quantale as the truth value table to study a new rough set model—L-valued fuzzy rough sets. The three key components of this model are: an L-fuzzy set A as the universal set, an L-valued relation of A and an L-fuzzy set of A (a fuzzy subset of fuzzy sets). Then L-valued fuzzy rough sets are completely characterized via both constructive and axiomatic approaches. 

Since its original formulation, the theory of fuzzy sets has spawned a number of extensions where the role of membership values in the real unit interval $[0, 1]$ is handed over to more complex mathematical entities. Amongst the many existing extensions, two similar ones, the fuzzy multisets and the hesitant fuzzy sets, rely on collections of several distinct values to represent fuzzy membershi...

In this work, we shall present some novel process to measure the similarity between picture fuzzy sets. Firstly, we adopt the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and picture fuzzy sets. Secondly, we develop some similarity measures between picture fuzzy sets, such as, cosine similarity measure, weighted cosine similarity measure, set-theoretic similar...

In this paper, we present a general framework for the study of interval type-2 rough fuzzy sets by using both constructive and axiomatic approaches. First, several concepts and properties of interval type-2 fuzzy sets are introduced. Then, a pair of lower and upper interval type-2 rough fuzzy approximation operators with respect to a crisp binary relation is proposed. Classical representations ...

Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...

Granular structure plays a very important role in the model construction, theoretical analysis and algorithm design of a granular computing method. The granular structures of classical rough sets and fuzzy rough sets have been proven to be clear. In classical rough set theory, equivalence classes are basic granules, and the lower and upper approximations of a set can be computed by those basic ...

We address the problem of identifying a useful set of mutually compatible separation axioms for each category T-FNS of T-neighbourhood spaces. It should contain one of T-complete regularity that characterizes T-uniformizability, as indeed we achieve here. This seems to necessitate the parameterization of most separation axioms by the triangular norm T, with the exception of the two axioms T0 an...

Bijective transformations play an important role in generating fuzzy implications from fuzzy implications. In [Representations through a Monoid on the set of Fuzzy Implications, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 247, 5167], Vemuri and Jayaram proposed a monoid structure on the set of fuzzy implications, which is denoted by I, and using the largest subgroup S of this monoid discussed some group actions on...
