Property-Driven Rough Sets Approximations of Relations

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 42))

Abstract

The problem of approximating an arbitrary relation by a relation with desired properties is formally defined and analysed. Two special cases, approximation by partial orders and approximation by equivalence relations are discussed in detail.
