In the first Part we have introduced non-classical upper and lower approximations of subsets of objects or properties, on the basis of the properties featured by Galois adjunctions between intensional and extensionnal operators. In the present Part we introduce the higher order notions of an "Information Quantum" an "Information Quantum Relational System" which make adjoint operators into continuous approximation operators and make it possible to define a class of topological Approximation Spaces. ©2005 IEEE.

Information quanta and approximation spaces II: generalised approximation spaces

2005 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing

Rough Set Theory may be considered as a formal interpretation of observation of phenomena. On one side we have objects and on the other side we have properties. This is what we call a Property System. Observing is then the act of perceiving and then interpreting the binary relation (of satisfaction) between the two sides. Of course, the set of properties can be given a particular structure. However, from a pure " phenomenological" point of view, a structure is given by the satisfaction relation we observe. So it is a result and not a precondition. Phenomena, in general, do not give rise to topological systems but to pre-topological systems. In particular, "interior" and "closure" operators are not continuous with respect to joins, so that they can "miss" information. To obtain continuous operators we have to lift the abstraction level of Property Systems by synthesizing relations between objects and properties into systems of relations between objects and objects. Such relations are based on the notion of a minimal amount of information that is carried by an item. This way we can also account for Attribute Systems, that is, systems in which we have attributes instead of properties and items are evaluated by means of attribute values. But in order to apply our mathematical machinery to Attribute Systems we have to transform them into Property Systems in an appropriate manner. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.

Formal topology and information systems

In the first Part of this paper Property Systems are investigated in order to define intensional and extensional operators fulfilling adjointness properties. On this basis a set of operators are defined which are able to determine non-classical upper and lower approximations of subsets of objects or properties. But in order to bypass "discontinuity" of such operators we introduce, in the second Part, the higher order notion of an "Information Quantum". This way we can account for Attribute Systems as well as Property Systems by transforming them into new structures called "Information Quantum Relational Systems" in which adjointness makes operators fulfill continuity and makes it possible to define a class of Generalised Approximation Spaces. ©2005 IEEE.

The idea that vagueness has its origin in indiscernibility is not new. In this paper, we have tried to establish this thesis on a category-theoretic basis. In the process some other related notions, e.g. property, have been clarified. © 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
