Abstract

The work presents an investigation of multiple-source approximation systems, which are collections of Pawlak approximation spaces over the same domain. We particularly look at notions of definability of sets in such a collection μ. Some possibilities for membership functions in μ are explored. Finally, a relation that reflects the degree to which objects are (in)discernible in μ is also presented.
