Abstract

This paper investigates the issues related to definability in an incomplete information table by using interval sets. We review the existing results pertaining to definability in a complete information table. We generalize the satisfiability of formulas in a description language in a complete table to a pair of strong and weak satisfiability of formulas in an incomplete table, which leads to an interval-set based interpretation of formulas. While we have definable sets in a complete table, we have definable interval sets in an incomplete table. The results are useful for studying concept analysis and approximations with incomplete tables.
