In this paper we study ideas which have proved useful in topological network theory in the context of lattices of numbers. A number lattice $L_S$ is a collection of row vectors, over $\mathbb{Q}$ on a finite column set $S,$ generated by…
The main purpose of this paper is to study the lattice structure of variable precision rough sets. The notion of variation in precision of rough sets have been further extended to variable precision rough set with variable classification…
The lattice formulation provides a way to regularize, define and compute the Path Integral in a Quantum Field Theory. In this paper we review the theoretical foundations and the most basic algorithms required to implement a typical lattice…
In her paper "Generalized matroids and supermodular colourings", Tardos studied special delta-matroids obtained from sequences of Higgs lifts; these are the full Higgs lift delta-matroids that we treat and around which all of our results…
The Tutte polynomial for matroids is not directly applicable to polymatroids. For instance, deletion-contraction properties do not hold. We construct a polynomial for polymatroids which behaves similarly to the Tutte polynomial of a…
This article is a survey of matroid theory aimed at algebraic geometers. Matroids are combinatorial abstractions of linear subspaces and hyperplane arrangements. Not all matroids come from linear subspaces; those that do are said to be…
In relational approach to general rough sets, ideas of directed relations are supplemented with additional conditions for multiple algebraic approaches in this research paper. The relations are also specialized to representations of general…
The closure $\textrm{cl}(R)$ of a consistent set $R$ of triples (rooted binary trees on three leaves) provides essential information about tree-like relations that are shown by any supertree that displays all triples in $R$. In this…
Submodular setfunctions play an important role in potential theory, and a perhaps even more important role in combinatorial optimization. The analytic line of research goes back to the work of Choquet; the combinatorial, to the work of Rado…
In this sequel to "Foundations of matroids - Part 1", we establish several presentations of the foundation of a matroid in terms of small building blocks. For example, we show that the foundation of a matroid M is the colimit of the…
A transduction provides us with a way of using the monadic second-order language of a structure to make statements about a derived structure. Any transduction induces a relation on the set of these structures. This article presents a…
Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group. We develop a machinery for manipulation and manufacture of well-rounded families $\left\{ \mathcal{B}_{T}\right\} _{T>0}\subset G$ as they were defined in a work by A. Gorodnik and A. Nevo. The…
In 1980, Las Vergnas defined a notion of discrete convexity for oriented matroids, which Edelman subsequently related to the theory of anti-exchange closure functions and convex geometries. In this paper, we use generalized matroid activity…
We introduce the notion of power lattices that unifies and extends the equicardinal geometric lattices, Cartesian products of subspace lattices, and multiset subset lattices, among several others. The notions of shellability for simplicial…
Networks are frequently studied algebraically through matrices. In this work, we show that networks may be studied in a more abstract level using results from the theory of matroids by establishing connections to networks by decomposition…
Consider a collection of points in the plane and the sets of slopes or directions of the lines between pairs of points. It is known that the algebraic matroid on the set of direction constraints between the points is equivalent to the…
The problem of covering the ground set of two matroids by a minimum number of common independent sets is notoriously hard even in very restricted settings, i.e.\ when the goal is to decide if two common independent sets suffice or not.…
By the means of lower and upper fuzzy approximations we define quasiorders. Their properties are used to prove our main results. First, we characterize those pairs of fuzzy sets which form fuzzy rough sets w.r.t. a t-similarity relation…
One generalization of ordinary matroids is symplectic matroids. While symplectic matroids were initially defined by their collections of bases, there has been no cryptomorphic definition of symplectic matroids in terms of circuits. We give…
A final goal for thimble regularization of lattice field theories is the application to lattice QCD and the study of its phase diagram. Gauge theories pose a number of conceptual and algorithmic problems, some of which can be addressed even…
