The lower and upper approximations in a quotient hypermodule with respect to fuzzy sets

This paper provides a continuation of ideas presented by Davvaz and Mahdavipour [B. Davvaz, M. Mahdavipour, Roughness in modules, Inform. Sci. 176 (2006) 3658–3674]. The notion of hypermodule is a generalization of the notion of module. In this paper, we consider the quotient hypermodule image and interpret the lower and upper approximations as subsets of the quotient hypermodule image. Then, we introduce the concept of quotient rough sub-hypermodule. Also, using the concept of fuzzy sets, we introduce and discuss the concept of fuzzy rough hypermodules and then we obtain the relation between fuzzy rough sub-hypermodules and level rough sets. This relation is characterized as a necessary and sufficient condition.
