Dealing with uncertainty: A rough-set-based approach with the background of classical logic

Abstract

The representative-based approximation has been widely studied in rough set theory. Hence, rough set approximations can be defined by the system of representatives, which plays a crucial role in set approximation. In the authors’ previous research a possible use of the similarity-based rough set in first-order logic was investigated. Now our focus has changed to representative-based approximation systems. In this article the authors show a logical system relying on representative-based set approximation. In our approach a three-valued partial logic system is introduced. Based on the properties of the approximation space, our theorems prove that in some cases, there exists an efficient way to evaluate the first-order formulae.
