In this paper, the multigranulation technique is introduced into incomplete information systems. Both tolerance relations and maximal consistent blocks are used to construct multigranulation rough sets. Not only are the basic properties about these models studied, but also the relationships between different multigranulation rough sets are explored. It is shown that by using maximal consistent blocks, the greater lower approximation and the same upper approximation as from tolerance relations can be obtained. Such a result is consistent with that of a single-granulation framework.展开更多
Though many hierarchical structures have been proposed to analyze the finer or coarser relationships between two granulation spaces, these structures can only be used to compare the single granulation spaces.

However, it should be noticed that the concept of multigranulation plays a fundamental role in the development of granular computing.
