It is dealing with vagueness (ambiguous) of the set by using the concept of the lower and upper approximations of objects based on an equivalence relation. The main idea of rough sets corresponds to study these approximations. So, in this paper, we generalize these approximations in the frameworks of topological spaces. The lower and upper approximations of Pawlak\u2019s model are replaced by interior and closure notions of the topological space. The set approximations are defined using the new topological notions\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b4\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>\n                      <jats:italic>j<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sub>\n                    -open sets and \u22c0\n                    <jats:sub>\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sub>\n                      <jats:italic>j<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:sub>\n                    -sets. Such techniques open the way for more topological applications in rough context and help in formalizing many applications from real-life data. The current extension approximations are satisfied all properties of original rough set theory without any conditions or restrictions. Comparisons between the current approximations and the previous one are introduced and shown to be more general.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-172078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,10]],"date-time":"2018-07-10T14:40:18Z","timestamp":1531233618000},"page":"979-993","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["On generalization of rough sets by using two different methods"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Mona","family":"Hosny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Education, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"77","article-title":"\u03b2-open sets and \u03b2-continuous mappings","volume":"12","author":"Abd M.E.","year":"1983","unstructured":"AbdM.E.
