Abstract The topological view or connectedness is more general and is applied or topologies on discrete sets. Rough thinking is one o the topological connections to uncertainty. The purpose o this paper is to hybridize connectedness and rough set notions to get a new approach or handling uncertainty. The deinition o connectedness in approximation spaces is introduced.

Preliminaries This section presents a review o some undamental notions o topological spaces and rough set theory. A topological space [3] is a pair X consisting o a set X and amily o subsets o X satisying the ollowing conditions: (T) and X. (T) is closed under arbitrary union. (T3) is closed under inite intersection.
60 M. J. Iqelan Throughout this paper X denotes a topological space the elements o X are called points o the space the subsets o X belonging to are called open sets in the space the complement o the subsets o X belonging to are called closed * sets in the space and the amily o all closed subsets o X is denoted by the amily o open subsets o X is also called a topology or X. A subset A o X in a topological space X is said to be clopen i it is both open and closed in X. A amily is called a base or X i every nonempty open subset o X can be represented as a union o subamily o. Clearly a topological space can have many bases. A amily S is called a subbase i the amily o all inite intersections o S is a base or X. The -closure o a subset A o X is denoted by A and it is given by * A F X : A F and F }. Evidently A is the smallest closed subset o X which contains A. Note that A is closed i A A. The -interior o a subset A o X is denoted by A and it is given by A G X : G A and G}. Evidently A is the largest open subset o X which contained in A. Note that A is open i A A. Motivation or rough set theory has come rom the need to represent subsets o a universe in terms o equivalence classes o a partition o that universe. The partition characterizes a topological space called approximation space X where X is a set called the universe and R is an equivalence relation [5 6]. The equivalence classes o R are also known as the granules elementary sets or blocks. We shall use R x to denote the equivalence class containing x X and X / R to denote the set o all elementary sets o R. In the approximation space X the upper (resp. lower) approximation o a subset A o X is given by RA x X R A resp. RA x X : R A. : x x Pawlak noted [6] that the approximation space X R with equivalence relation R deines a uniquely topological space X where is the amily o all clopen sets in X and X / R is a base o. Moreover the lower ( resp. upper ) approximation o any subset A o X is exactly the interior ( resp. closure ) o A. I R is a general binary relation then the approximation space X R X where is the topology associated is the amily o all open sets in X and S xr : x X is a where xr y X : x R y) [ 4]. deines a uniquely topological space to (i.e. subbase o

Rough Connected Topologized Approximation Spaces The present section is devoted to introduce the concept o rough connectedness in approximation spaces with general binary relations. The ollowing deinition introduces the concept o rough disconnected topologized approximation space. Deinition.. Let X be a topologized approximation space. Then is said to be rough disconnected i there are two nonempty subsets A and B o X such that The space X A B X and A R B R A B. is said to be rough connected i it is not rough disconnected.

Remark.. Let X A X. be a topologized approximation space and I A is exact set then it is both internally R deinable and externally R deinable set. R A is the largest internally R deinable set contained in A. R A is the smallest externally R deinable set contains A. Lemma.. Let X be a topologized approximation space and A X.
