Rough sets theory via new topological notions based on ideals and applications

There is a close analogy and similarity between topology and rough set theory. As, the leading idea of this theory is depended on two approximations, namely lower and upper approximations, which correspond to the interior and closure operators in topology, respectively. So, the joined study of this theory and topology becomes fundamental. This theory mainly propose to enlarge the lower approximations by adding new elements to it, which is an equivalent goal for canceling elements from the upper approximations. For this intention, one of the primary motivation of this paper is the desire of improving the accuracy measure and reducing the boundary region. This aim can be achieved easily by utilizing ideal in the construction of the approximations as it plays an important role in removing the vagueness of concept. The emergence of ideal in this theory leads to increase the lower approximations and decrease the upper approximations. Consequently, it minimizes the boundary and makes the accuracy higher than the previous. Therefore, this work expresses the set of approximations by using new topological notions relies on ideals namely $ \mathcal{I} $-$ {\delta_{\beta}}_{J} $-open sets and $ \mathcal{I} $-$ {\bigwedge_{\beta}}_{J} $-sets. Moreover, these notions are also utilized to extend the definitions of the rough membership relations and functions. The essential properties of the suggested approximations, relations and functions are studied. Comparisons between the current and previous studies are presented and turned out to be more precise and general. The brilliant idea of these results is increased in importance by applying it in the chemical field as it is shown in the end of this paper. Additionally, a practical example induced from an information system is introduced to elucidate that the current rough membership functions is better than the former ones in the other studies.
