Algebraic, Topological, and Mereological Foundations of Existential Granules

In this research, new concepts of existential granules that determine themselves are invented, and are characterized from algebraic, topological, and mereological perspectives. Existential granules are those that determine themselves initially, and interact with their environment subsequently. Examples of the concept, such as those of granular balls, though inadequately defined, algorithmically established, and insufficiently theorized in earlier works by others, are already used in applications of rough sets and soft computing. It is shown that they fit into multiple theoretical frameworks (axiomatic, adaptive, and others) of granular computing. The characterization is intended for algorithm development, application to classification problems and possible mathematical foundations of generalizations of the approach. Additionally, many open problems are posed and directions provided.Comment: 15 Pages. Accepted IJCRS 202

Developing Complementary Rough Inclusion Functions

We continue the formal development of rough inclusion functions (RIFs), continuing the research on the formalization of rough sets [15] – a well-known tool of modelling of incomplete or partially unknown information. In this article we give the formal characterization of complementary RIFs, following a paper by Gomolinska [4].We expand this framework introducing Jaccard index, Steinhaus generate metric, and Marczewski-Steinhaus metric space [1]. This is the continuation of [9]; additionally we implement also parts of [2], [3], and the details of this work can be found in [7].Institute of Informatics, University of Białystok, PolandMichel Marie Deza and Elena Deza.

Formal Development of Rough Inclusion Functions

Rough sets, developed by Pawlak [15], are important tool to describe situation of incomplete or partially unknown information. In this article, continuing the formalization of rough sets [12], we give the formal characterization of three rough inclusion functions (RIFs). We start with the standard one, κ£, connected with Łukasiewicz [14], and extend this research for two additional RIFs: κ 1, and κ 2, following a paper by Gomolińska [4], [3]. We also define q-RIFs and weak q-RIFs [2]. The paper establishes a formal counterpart of [7] and makes a preliminary step towards rough mereology [16], [17] in Mizar [13].Institute of Informatics, University of Białystok, PolandAnna Gomolinska.
