In this paper, we introduce a new rough set approach, which is called the limited
dominance-based rough set model into the incomplete decision system. The limited
dominance relation is different from the traditional dominance relation in the incomplete
environment because we are on the assumption that the unknown value can only be
compared with the maximal or minimal value in the domain of the corresponding attribute.
By using the limited dominance-based rough set approach, we can obtain higher accuracies
of approximations than using the traditional dominance-based rough set in the
incomplete decision system. Further on the problems of knowledge reductions in terms
of the limited dominance relation is also addressed. Some numerical examples are employed
to substantiate the conceptual arguments.
