Abstract: This paper focuses on rough approximation operators in group mapping. The relationships between rough set theory and group theory are considered from a novel perspective. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the upper approximation and lower approximation of a group to be groups are analyzed. In addition, the homomorphism and isomorphism between two groups which have related upper or lower approximations are investigated. Finally, the applications of rough approximation operators in group mapping to coding theory are developed.
