Description
Summary:We lay the theoretical foundations of a novel model, termed picture hesitant fuzzy rough sets, based on picture hesitant fuzzy relations. We also combine this notion with the ideas of multi-granulation rough sets. As a consequence, a new multi-granulation rough set model on two universes, termed a multi-granulation picture hesitant fuzzy rough set, is developed. When the universes coincide or play a symmetric role, the concept assumes the standard format. In this context, we put forward two new classes of multi-granulation picture hesitant fuzzy rough sets, namely, the optimistic and pessimistic multi-granulation picture hesitant fuzzy rough sets. Further, we also investigate the relationships among these two concepts and picture hesitant fuzzy rough sets.
