Vidhya Abstract-Rough set deals the mathematical approach to uncertain knowledge. It has many interesting applications in the area of machine learning, decision analysis, pattern recognition etc., A fuzzy rough set is a generalization of a rough set, derived from the approximation of a fuzzy set. The focus of fuzzy rough set is to define lower and upper approximation from the universal set. This paper gives four operations of open covers and three notions of covering principles in fuzzy rough set. Also investigates the relations of covers and principles. Finally combine the open covers and principles, find the relationship between them. KeywordsFuzzy rough cover(s), covering principle(s) I. INTRODUCTION Authors [1], [6] and [7] said the concepts and properties of fuzzy sets, applications of fuzzy set and fuzzy topological spaces. Further various uncertainities that arise in the real world problems are solved by using rough set theory [3, 5], intuitionistic fuzzy rough set theory [2] etc. S. Nanda and S. Majumdar [4] analysed the concept of fuzzy rough set. This paper introduces the concepts of types of fuzzy rough open cover and types of fuzzy rough covering principle. Some basic properties are also established. In particularly, the concept of relationship between them are discussed. II.

Definition 2.3 [8] Any fuzzy rough topology on a rough set X is a family T of fuzzy rough sets in X which satisfies the following conditions: 1) 0 ,1 ∈ 2) If , ∈ then ∩∈ and 3) If ∈ for all ∈, then ∈ ∈. Therefore X together with topology T is called a fuzzy rough topological space. The members of T are open and its complement is closed. Defintion 2.4 [8] =  , is called neighbourhood of =  , iff there exists fuzzy rough open set =  , such that ⊆⊆. III. FUZZY ROUGH OPEN COVERS SEQUENCE AND COVERING SEQUENCE PRINCIPLES This section introduces the types of rough open cover sequences and covering principles and discuss their characterizations and relationship between them. Definition 3.1 A collection Σ =  :  ∈  of rough sets in X is fuzzy rough cover of 1 if ∈ =1 . Each members of Σ are open iff a collection Σ is fuzzy rough open cover. Definition 3.2 Each open cover has a finite subcover then the space is compact. Defintion 3.3 If = , , : ,  ∈ ℕ for ∈  , [0,1] and = then  ∈ℕ is a fuzzy rough sequence. A.
