Abstract

Using as example an incomplete information system with support a set of objects X, we discuss a possible algebraization of the concrete algebra of the power set of X through quasi BZ lattices. This structure enables us to define two rough approximations based on a similarity and on a preclusive relation, with the second one always better that the former. Then, we turn our attention to Pawlak rough sets and consider some of their possible algebraic structures. Finally, we will see that also Fuzzy Sets are a model of the same algebras. Particular attention is given to HW algebra which is a strong and rich structure able to characterize both rough sets and fuzzy sets.
