Description
Summary:This paper proposes similarity of L-fuzzy relations based on L-topologies induced by L-fuzzy rough approximation operators. First, the notion L-fuzzy rough set is generalized and the relationship between generalized L-fuzzy rough sets and L-topologies on an arbitrary universe is investigated. It shows that Alexandrov L-topologies can be induced by L-fuzzy relations without any preconditions. Second, the concept of similarity of L-fuzzy relations is introduced and variations of an L-fuzzy relation are investigated. Third, algebraic structures on similarity of L-fuzzy relations are obtained. Finally, we prove that the subset of the transitive L-fuzzy relations similar to a fixed L-fuzzy relation is a complete distributive lattice.
