On novel hesitant fuzzy rough sets

This paper presents a novel framework for the study of hesitant fuzzy rough sets by integrating rough sets with hesitant fuzzy sets. Lower and upper approximations of hesitant fuzzy sets with respect to a hesitant fuzzy approximation space are first defined. Properties of hesitant fuzzy approximation operators are examined. Relationships between hesitant fuzzy approximation spaces and hesitant fuzzy topological spaces are then established. It is proved that the set of all lower approximation sets based on a hesitant fuzzy reflexive and transitive approximation space forms a hesitant fuzzy topology. And conversely, for a hesitant fuzzy rough topological space, there exists a hesitant fuzzy reflexive and transitive approximation space such that the topology in the hesitant fuzzy rough topological space is exactly the set of all lower approximation sets in the hesitant fuzzy reflexive and transitive approximation space. That is to say, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all hesitant fuzzy reflexive and transitive approximation spaces and the set of all hesitant fuzzy rough topological spaces.
