Abstract
Qian presented multigranulation rough set (MGRS) models based on Pawlak’s rough set (RS) model. There are two types of MGRS models, named optimistic MGRS and pessimistic MGRS. Recently, Shabir et al. presented an optimistic multigranulation intuitionistic fuzzy rough set (OMGIFRS) based on soft binary relations. This paper explores the pessimistic multigranulation intuitionistic fuzzy rough set (PMGIFRS) based on soft relations combined with a soft set (SS) over two universes. The resulting two sets are lower approximations and upper approximations with respect to the aftersets and foresets. Some basic properties of this established model are studied. Similarly, the MGRS of an IFS based on multiple soft relations is presented and some algebraic properties are discussed. Finally, an example is presented that illustrates the importance of the proposed decision-making algorithm.
