Rough Set on Concept Lattice
A new type formulation of rough set theory can be developed on a binary relation by association on the elements of a universe of finite set of objects with the elements of another universe of finite set of properties.. This paper presents generalization of Pawlak rough set approximation operators on the concept lattices. The notion of rough set approximation is to approximate an undefinable set or concepts through two definable sets. We analyze these and from the results one can obtain a better understanding of data analysis using formal concept analysis and rough set theory. Key Words: Rough Set, Lattice, Formal Concept, Approximation operators
Concept Approximations: Approximative Notions for Concept Lattices
In this thesis, we present a lattice theoretical approach to the field of approximations. Given a pair consisting of a kernel system and a closure system on an underlying lattice, one receives a lattice of approximations. We describe the theory of these lattices of approximations. Furthermore, we put a special focus on the case of concept lattices. As it turns out, approximation of formal concepts can be interpreted as traces, which are preconcepts in a subcontext.:Preface

BibliographyIn der vorliegenden Arbeit beschreiben wir einen verbandstheoretischen Zugang zum Thema Approximieren. Ausgehend von einem Kern- und einem Hüllensystem auf einem vollständigen Verband erhält man einen Approximationsverband. Wir beschreiben die Theorie dieser Approximationsverbände. Des Weiteren liegt dabei ein Hauptaugenmerk auf dem Fall zugrundeliegender Begriffsverbände. Wie sich nämlich herausstellt, lassen sich Approximationen formaler Begriffe als Spuren auffassen, welche diese in einem vorgegebenen Teilkontext hinterlassen.:Preface

Logics for Rough Concept Analysis
Taking an algebraic perspective on the basic structures of Rough Concept Analysis as the starting point, in this paper we introduce some varieties of lattices expanded with normal modal operators which can be regarded as the natural rough algebra counterparts of certain subclasses of rough formal contexts, and introduce proper display calculi for the logics associated with these varieties which are sound, complete, conservative and with uniform cut elimination and subformula property. These calculi modularly extend the multi-type calculi for rough algebras to a ‘nondistributive’ (i.e. general lattice-based) setting.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/scs_books/1060/thumbnail.jp

Geometric lattice structure of covering and its application to attribute reduction through matroids
The reduction of covering decision systems is an important problem in data
mining, and covering-based rough sets serve as an efficient technique to
process the problem. Geometric lattices have been widely used in many fields,
especially greedy algorithm design which plays an important role in the
reduction problems. Therefore, it is meaningful to combine coverings with
geometric lattices to solve the optimization problems. In this paper, we obtain
geometric lattices from coverings through matroids and then apply them to the
issue of attribute reduction. First, a geometric lattice structure of a
covering is constructed through transversal matroids. Then its atoms are
studied and used to describe the lattice. Second, considering that all the
closed sets of a finite matroid form a geometric lattice, we propose a
dependence space through matroids and study the attribute reduction issues of
the space, which realizes the application of geometric lattices to attribute
reduction. Furthermore, a special type of information system is taken as an
example to illustrate the application. In a word, this work points out an
interesting view, namely, geometric lattice to study the attribute reduction
issues of information systems
Domains via approximation operators
In this paper, we tailor-make new approximation operators inspired by rough
set theory and specially suited for domain theory. Our approximation operators
offer a fresh perspective to existing concepts and results in domain theory,
but also reveal ways to establishing novel domain-theoretic results. For
instance, (1) the well-known interpolation property of the way-below relation
on a continuous poset is equivalent to the idempotence of a certain
set-operator; (2) the continuity of a poset can be characterized by the
coincidence of the Scott closure operator and the upper approximation operator
induced by the way below relation; (3) meet-continuity can be established from
a certain property of the topological closure operator. Additionally, we show
how, to each approximating relation, an associated order-compatible topology
can be defined in such a way that for the case of a continuous poset the
topology associated to the way-below relation is exactly the Scott topology. A
preliminary investigation is carried out on this new topology.Comment: 17 pages; 1figure, Domains XII Worksho
Rough matroids based on coverings
The introduction of covering-based rough sets has made a substantial
contribution to the classical rough sets. However, many vital problems in rough
sets, including attribution reduction, are NP-hard and therefore the algorithms
for solving them are usually greedy. Matroid, as a generalization of linear
independence in vector spaces, it has a variety of applications in many fields
such as algorithm design and combinatorial optimization. An excellent
introduction to the topic of rough matroids is due to Zhu and Wang. On the
basis of their work, we study the rough matroids based on coverings in this
paper. First, we investigate some properties of the definable sets with respect
to a covering. Specifically, it is interesting that the set of all definable
sets with respect to a covering, equipped with the binary relation of inclusion
, constructs a lattice. Second, we propose the rough matroids based
on coverings, which are a generalization of the rough matroids based on
relations. Finally, some properties of rough matroids based on coverings are
explored. Moreover, an equivalent formulation of rough matroids based on
coverings is presented. These interesting and important results exhibit many
potential connections between rough sets and matroids.Comment: 15page
