The classical multigranulation rough set (MGRS) theory offers a formal theoretical framework for solving the complex problem under multigranulation environment. However, it is noticeable that MGRS theory cannot be applied in multi-source information systems with a covering environment in the real world. To address this issue, we firstly present in this paper three types of covering based multig...

In rough set theory, the lower and upper approximation operators can be constructed via a variety of approaches. Various generalizations of rough approximation operators have been made over the years. This paper presents a framework for the study of rough sets and rough fuzzy sets on two universes of discourse. By means of a binary relation between two universes of discourse, a class of revised...

Worldwide, there has been a rapid growth in interest in rough set theory and its applications in recent years. Evidence of this can be found in the increasing number of high-quality articles on rough sets and related topics that have been published in a variety of international journals, symposia, workshops, and international conferences in recent years. In addition, many international workshop...

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 ...

flooding, which is an overflow of water, brings massive biological and economic problems all around the world and disrupts many people’s lives. based on several effective factors in flood occurrence as well as unknown relationships between parameters, researchers have used various methods to forecast flood over the past decade. an investigation of the conducted studies on flood forecasting reve...

Algebraic structures and lattice structures of rough sets are basic and important topics in rough sets theory. In this paper we pointed out that a basic problem had been overlooked, that is the closeness of union and intersection operations of rough approximation pairs, i.e. (lower approximation, upper approximation). We present that the union and intersection operations of rough approximation ...

A rapid growth of interest in rough set theory [297] and its applications can be lately seen in the number of international workshops, conferences and seminars that are either directly dedicated to rough sets, include the subject in their programs, or simply accept papers that use this approach to solve problems at hand. A large number of high quality papers on various aspects of rough sets and...
