We define the concept of weighted lattice polynomial functions as lattice polynomial functions constructed from both variables and parameters. We provide equivalent forms of these functions in an arbitrary bounded distributive lattice. We…

We introduce and study the lattice of generalized partitions, called weighted partitions. This lattice possesses similar properties of the lattice of partitions. By use of the pictorial representation of a weighted partition, the total…

It is shown that a piecewise linear function can be represented as a Max-Min polynomial of its linear components.

We investigate the representation of lattices as sublattices of the lattice of all convex subsets (intervals) of a linearly ordered set $(X,\le)$. We introduce the purely lattice-theoretic notion of a \textit{loc-lattice} and prove that…

Dualization of a monotone Boolean function on a finite lattice can be represented by transforming the set of its minimal 1 to the set of its maximal 0 values. In this paper we consider finite lattices given by ordered sets of their meet and…

Polynomials are common algebraic structures, which are often used to approximate functions including probability distributions. This paper proposes to directly define polynomial distributions in order to describe stochastic properties of…

We review and present new studies on the relation between the partition functions of integrable lattice models and symmetric polynomials, and its combinatorial representation theory based on the correspondence, including our work. In…

This paper introduces combinatorial representations, which generalise the notion of linear representations of matroids. We show that any family of subsets of the same cardinality has a combinatorial representation via matrices. We then…

The main purpose of this paper is to give characterization theorems on derivations as well as on linear functions. Among others the following problem will be investigated: Let $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, $f, g\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be…

We consider the problem of representing Boolean functions exactly by "sparse" linear combinations (over $\mathbb{R}$) of functions from some "simple" class ${\cal C}$. In particular, given ${\cal C}$ we are interested in finding…

We show that several families of polynomials defined via fillings of diagrams satisfy linear recurrences under a natural operation on the shape of the diagram. We focus on key polynomials, (also known as Demazure characters), and Demazure…

We provide conditions under which a modular function defined on a semilattice $X$ and with values in a commutative group is homomorphic to a modular function on a lattice $L$ for any embedding $X\hookrightarrow L$.

We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…

For a finite lattice L, let EL denote the reflexive and transitive closure of the join-dependency relation on L, defined on the set J(L) of all join-irreducible elements of L. We characterize the relations of the form EL, as follows:…

We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of models of lattice polygons, mainly on the square lattice. In particular, we focus on limiting area laws in the uniform perimeter ensemble where, for fixed perimeter, each polygon of a given area occurs…

This paper focuses on analyzing and differentiating between lattice linear problems and algorithms. It introduces a new class of algorithms called \textit{(fully) lattice linear algorithms}. A property of these algorithms is that they…

Function graphs are graphs representable by intersections of continuous real-valued functions on the interval [0,1] and are known to be exactly the complements of comparability graphs. As such they are recognizable in polynomial time.…

We give a complete characterisation of the single and double arrow relations of the standard context $K(L_n)$ of the lattice $L_n$ of partitions of any positive integer $n$ under the dominance order, thereby addressing an open question of…

This paper studies the class of logarithmically completely monotonic (LCM) functions. These functions play an important role in characterising externally positive linear systems which find applications in important control problems such as…
