It is well known that lattice-valued rough sets are important branches of fuzzy rough sets. The axiomatic characterization and related topology are the main research directions of lattice-valued rough sets. For L=(L,⊛), a complete co-residuated lattice (CCRL), Qiao recently defined an L-fuzzy lower approximation operator (LFLAO) on the basis of the L-fuzzy relation. In this article, we give a further study on Qiao’s LFLAO around the axiomatic characterization and induced L-topology. Firstly, we investigate and discuss three new LFLAO generated by ⊛-transitive, ⊛-Euclidean and ⊛-mediated L-fuzzy relations. Secondly, we utilize a single axiom to characterize the LFLAO generated by serial, symmetric, reflexive, ⊛-transitive and ⊛-mediate L-fuzzy relations and their compositions. Thirdly, we present a method to generate Alexandrov L-topology (ALTPO) from LFLAO and construct a bijection between ALTPO and ⊛-preorder (i.e., reflexive and ⊛-transitive L-fuzzy relation) on the same underlying set.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
