A Unifying Study Between Modal-like Operators, Topologies, and Fuzzy Sets

Jouni Järvinen, Jari Kortelainen, A Unifying Study Between Modal-like Operators, Topologies, and Fuzzy Sets. TUCS Technical Reports 642, Turku Centre for Computer Science, 2004.

Abstract:

The paper introduces both lattice-theoretical and topological approaches on studying connections between Fuzzy Set Theory and Rough Set Theory or, more precisely, <i>L</i>-sets and modal-like operators. Various results for certain type of <i>L</i>-sets are presented, and it is shown that modal-like operators can be determined by means of <i>L</i>-sets. Moreover, it is shown that a certain subcategory of a category of variable-basis <i>L</i>-sets is isomorphic to the category of Alexandroff topological spaces as well as the category of quasi-ordered sets.
