Logic Approximating Sequences of Sets

  • Chapter

Abstract

In various studies concerning computer science or artificial intelligence, in which approximation tools could be applied, there appears a need of gradual approximating descending set sequences X = (Xm) (e.g. of documents, objects, points) formed of elements satisfying some stronger and stronger conditions. Gradual approximations (both: lower and upper ones) are determined by a descending sequence (≌ j) of equivalence relations, going to be established progressively. Approximations of grade j+1 are better than those of grade j. Approximations determined by ≌ω, which is the intersection of ≌j for j < ω, are the most precise.

This is a modified and — in a sense — expounded version of the paper by Rasiowa 1986, prepared for 16th ISMVL, Blacksburg, VA, USA
