Information completeness in Nelson algebras of rough sets induced by quasiorders

In this paper, we give an algebraic completeness theorem for constructive logic with strong negation in terms of finite rough set-based Nelson algebras determined by quasiorders. We show how for a quasiorder $R$, its rough set-based Nelson algebra can be obtained by applying the well-known construction by Sendlewski. We prove that if the set of all $R$-closed elements, which may be viewed as the set of completely defined objects, is cofinal, then the rough set-based Nelson algebra determined by a quasiorder forms an effective lattice, that is, an algebraic model of the logic $E_0$, which is characterised by a modal operator grasping the notion of "to be classically valid". We present a necessary and sufficient condition under which a Nelson algebra is isomorphic to a rough set-based effective lattice determined by a quasiorder.Comment: 15 page

Defining rough sets as core-support pairs of three-valued functions

We answer the question what properties a collection $\mathcal{F}$ of three-valued functions on a set $U$ must fulfill so that there exists a quasiorder $\leq$ on $U$ such that the rough sets determined by $\leq$ coincide with the core--support pairs of the functions in $\mathcal{F}$. Applying this characterization, we give a new representation of rough sets determined by equivalences in terms of three-valued {\L}ukasiewicz algebras of three-valued functions.Comment: This version is accepted for publication in Approximate Reasoning (May 2021
