Abstract: This paper studies endomorphic structures of rough approximation operators. We present the necessary and sufficient conditions for the rough lower and upper approximation operators to be either lattice endomorphisms, monomorphisms, or automorphisms. We also consider the same problems in fuzzy rough sets and obtain similar results.

Keywords: binary relation; monomorphisms; automorphisms; inner product; lattice endomorphisms; rough sets; topology; rough approximation operators; fuzzy sets.
