Abstract
In the axiomatic approach of fuzzy rough set theory, fuzzy rough approximation operators are characterized by a set of axioms that guarantees the existence of certain types of fuzzy binary relations reproducing the operators. Thus axiomatic characterization of fuzzy rough approximation operators is an important aspect in the study of rough set theory. In this paper, the independence of axioms of generalized fuzzy rough approximation operators is investigated, and their minimal sets of axioms are presented.
