Abstract:

In this paper, the ordered set of rough sets determined by a quasiorder relation $R$ is investigated. We prove that this ordered set is a complete, completely distributive lattice, whenever the partially ordered set of the equivalence classes of $R \\cap R^-1$ does not contain infinite ascending chains. We show that on this lattice can be defined three different kinds of complementation operations, and we describe its completely join-irreducible elements. We also characterize the case in which this lattice is a Stone lattice. Our results generalize some results of J. Pomykala and J. A. Pomykala (1988) and M. Gehrke and E. Walker (1992) in case $R$ is an equivalence.
