Abstract

This paper presents a general framework for the study of covering-based fuzzy approximation operators in which a fuzzy set can be approximated by some elements in a crisp or a fuzzy covering of the universe of discourse. Two types of approximation operators, crisp-covering-based rough fuzzy approximation operators and fuzzy-covering-based fuzzy rough approximation operators, are defined, their properties are examined in detail. Finally, the comparison of these new approximation operators is done, a sufficient and necessary condition is given under which some operators are equivalent, and approximation operator characterization of fuzzy partitions of the universe is obtained.
