Fuzzy Aura Topological Spaces with Applications to Rough Set Theory and Medical Decision Making

Abstract

We introduce the concept of a fuzzy aura topological space $(X,\tilde{\tau },\tilde{a})$, obtained by equipping a Chang-type fuzzy topological space $(X,\tilde{\tau })$ with a fuzzy scope function $\tilde{a}:X\to \tilde{\tau }$ satisfying $\tilde{a}(x)(x)=1$ for every $x\in X$. This framework generalizes the recently introduced (crisp) aura topological spaces to the fuzzy setting. We define the fuzzy aura-closure operator and the fuzzy aura-interior operator, and prove that the closure is a fuzzy additive Čech closure operator whose transfinite iteration yields a fuzzy Kuratowski closure. Five classes of generalized fuzzy open sets are introduced, and a complete hierarchy among them is established with counterexamples separating all distinct classes. Fuzzy aura-continuity and its decompositions are studied. Separation axioms and fuzzy aura-regularity are introduced. Fuzzy aura-based lower and upper approximation operators are defined, generalizing both the crisp aura rough set model and the Dubois-Prade fuzzy rough set model. A novel FA-MCDM algorithm is proposed and applied to a medical diagnosis problem with comprehensive sensitivity analysis.
