In this paper, we introduce the subclass R b (A,B, α, μ) which is defined by concept of subordination. According to this, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition which is equivalent to this class. Further, we apply to the δ− neighborhoods for belonging toR b (A,B, α, μ) to this condition.

BACKGROUND We examined the relationship between overweight in preschool children and three environmental factors--the proximity of the children's residences to playgrounds and to fast food restaurants and the safety of the children's neighborhoods. We hypothesized that children who lived farther from playgrounds, closer to fast food restaurants, and in unsafe neighborhoods were more likely to b...

One of the central problems in knowledge discovery is the development of good measures of interestingness of discovered patterns. With such measures, a user needs to manually examine only the more interesting rules, instead of each of a large number of mined rules. Previous proposals of such measures include rule templates, minimal rule cover, actionability, and unexpectedness in the statistica...

The planning and scheduling of the inventory, production and distribution functions remains an open research area, since few studies have developed models allowing their integrated management. In this paper, we consider a three-stage supply chain, for which a sustainable inventory-production-distribution plan over a multi-period horizon is constructed. The associated program takes the form of a...

Covering based Rough Sets are an important generalization of Rough Set Theory. Basically, they replace the partition generated from an equivalence relation by a covering. In this context many approximation operators can be defined [16, 26, 27, 28, 34]. In this paper we want to discover relationships among approximation operators defined from neighborhoods. We use the concepts of duality, adjoin...
