Abstract In this paper, we investigate the properties of L-lower approximation operators as a generalization of fuzzy rough set in complete residuated lattices. We study relations lower (upper, join meet, meet join) approximation operators and Alexandrov L-topologies. Moreover, we give their examples as approximation operators induced by various L-fuzzy relations. Keywords: Complete residuated lattices, L-upper approximation operators, Alexandrov L-topologies

Introduction

Pawlak [1, 2] introduced rough set theory as a formal tool to deal with imprecision and uncertainty in data analysis. H´ajek [3] introduced a complete residuated lattice which is an algebraic structure for many valued logic. Radzikowska and Kerre [4] developed fuzzy rough sets in complete residuated lattice. Bˇelohl´avek [5] investigated information systems and decision rules in complete residuated lattices. Lai and Zhang [6, 7] introduced Alexandrov L-topologies induced by fuzzy rough sets. Kim [8, 9] investigate relations between lower approximation operators as a generalization of fuzzy rough set and Alexandrov L-topologies. Algebraic structures of fuzzy rough sets are developed in many directions [4, 8, 10] In this paper, we investigate the properties of L-lower approximation operators as a generalization of fuzzy rough set in complete residuated lattices. We study relations lower (upper, join meet, meet join) approximation operators and Alexandrov L-topologies. Moreover, we give their examples as approximation operators induced by various L-fuzzy relations. Definition 1.1. [3, 5] An algebra (L, ∧, ∨, , →, ⊥, >) is called a complete residuated lattice if it satisfies the following conditions: (C1) L = (L, ≤, ∨, ∧, ⊥, >) is a complete lattice with the greatest element > and the least element ⊥; (C2) (L, , >) is a commutative monoid; (C3) x y ≤ z iff x ≤ y → z for x, y, z ∈ L Remark 1.2. [3, 5] (1) A completely distributive lattice L = (L, ≤, ∨, ∧ = , →, 1, 0) is a complete residuated lattice defined by x→y=

_

{z | x ∧ z ≤ y}.

(2) The unit interval with a left-continuous t-norm , ([0, 1], ∨, ∧, , →, 0, 1), is a complete residuated lattice defined by x→y=

_ {z | x z ≤ y}.

In this paper, we assume (L, ∧, ∨, , →,∗ ⊥, >) is a complete residuated lattice with the law of double negation;i.e. x∗∗ = x. For α ∈ L, A, >x ∈ LX , (α → A)(x) = α → A(x), (α A)(x) = α A(x) and >x (x) = >, >x (y) = ⊥, otherwise.

(J1) J (A) ≤ A, (J2) J (α → A) = α → J (A), V V (J3) J ( i∈I Ai ) = i∈I J (Ai ). (3) A map K : LX → LX is called an L-join meet approximation operator iff it satisfies the following conditions (K1) K(A) ≤ A∗ , (K2) K(α A) = α → K(A), W V (K3) K( i∈I Ai ) = i∈I K(Ai ). (4) A map M : LX → LX is called an L-meet join approximation operator iff it satisfies the following conditions (M1) A∗ ≤ M(A), (M2) M(α → A) = α M(A), V W (M3) M( i∈I Ai ) = i∈I M(Ai ).

Lemma 1.3. [3, 5] For each x, y, z, xi , yi ∈ L, we have the following properties.

Definition 1.5. [6, 9] A subset τ ⊂ LX is called an Alexandrov L-topology if it satisfies:

(1) If y ≤ z, (x y) ≤ (x z), x → y ≤ x → z and z → x ≤ y → x.

(T1) ⊥X , >X ∈ τ where >X (x) = > and ⊥X (x) = ⊥ for x ∈ X. W V (T2) If Ai ∈ τ for i ∈ Γ, i∈Γ Ai , i∈Γ Ai ∈ τ .

(2) x y ≤ x ∧ y ≤ x ∨ y. V V W (3) x → ( i∈Γ yi ) = i∈Γ (x → yi ) and ( i∈Γ xi ) → y = V i∈Γ (xi → y). W W (4) x → ( i∈Γ yi ) ≥ i∈Γ (x → yi ) V W (5) ( i∈Γ xi ) → y ≥ i∈Γ (xi → y). (6) (x y) → z = x → (y → z) = y → (x → z). (7) x (x → y) ≤ y, x → y ≤ (y → z) → (x → z) and x → y ≤ (z → x) → (z → y). (8) y ≤ x → (x y) and x ≤ (x → y) → y. (9) x → y ≤ (x z) → (y z). (10) (x → y) (y → z) ≤ x → z. (11) x → y = > iff x ≤ y. (12) x → y = y ∗ → x∗ . (13) (x y)∗ = x → y ∗ = y → x∗ and x → y = (x y ∗ )∗ . V W W V (14) i∈Γ x∗i = ( i∈Γ xi )∗ and i∈Γ x∗i = ( i∈Γ xi )∗ .

(2) If H is an L-upper approximation operator, then τH = {A ∈ LX | H(A) = A} is an Alexandrov topology on X.

Conclusions

In this paper, L-lower approximation operators induce L-upper approximation operators by residuated connection. We study relations lower (upper, join meet, meet join) approximation operators, Galois (dual Galois, residuated, dual residuated) connections and Alexandrov L-topologies. Moreover, we give their examples as approximation operators induced by various L-fuzzy relations.
