“…As one of the three branches of granular computing, rough set theory is first proposed by Pawlak [20,21] for dealing with vagueness and granularity in information systems. In theory, rough sets have been connected with matroids [10,14,18,27,29,30,37,47], lattices [5,8,16,31], hyperstructure theory [35], topology [12,13,44], fuzzy sets [11,32], and so on. Rough set theory is built on equivalence relations or partitions.…”
