Abstract separation systems are a new unifying framework in which separations of graph, matroids and other combinatorial structures can be expressed and studied. We characterize the abstract separation systems that have representations as…

We prove a general width duality theorem for combinatorial structures with well-defined notions of cohesion and separation. These might be graphs and matroids, but can be much more general or quite different. The theorem asserts a duality…

Separation systems are posets with additional structure that form an abstract setting in which tangle-like clusters in graphs, matroids and other combinatorial structures can be expressed and studied. This paper offers some basic theory…

We prove canonical and non-canonical tree-of-tangles theorems for abstract separation systems that are merely structurally submodular. Our results imply all known tree-of-tangles theorems for graphs, matroids and abstract separation systems…

Tangle-tree theorems are an important tool in structural graph theory, and abstract separation systems are a very general setting in which tangle-tree theorems can still be formulated and proven. For infinite abstract separation systems, so…

Abstraction is a powerful idea widely used in science, to model, reason and explain the behavior of systems in a more tractable search space, by omitting irrelevant details. While notions of abstraction have matured for deterministic…

We introduce a comprehensive data structure, tangle structure trees, which simultaneously displays all the $\mathcal{F}$-tangles of an abstract separation system for very general obstruction sets $\mathcal{F}$. It simultaneously also…

We describe a framework for encoding cluster combinatorics using categorical methods. We give a definition of an abstract cluster structure, which captures the essence of cluster mutation at a tropical level and show that cluster algebras,…

Abstraction is essential for reducing the complexity of systems across diverse fields, yet designing effective abstraction methodology for probabilistic models is inherently challenging due to stochastic behaviors and uncertainties. Current…

Tree sets are posets with additional structure that generalize tree-like objects in graphs, matroids, or other combinatorial structures. They are a special class of abstract separation systems. We study infinite tree sets and how they…

We study an abstract notion of tree structure which lies at the common core of various tree-like discrete structures commonly used in combinatorics: trees in graphs, order trees, nested subsets of a set, tree-decompositions of graphs and…

We demonstrate the versatility of the tangle-tree duality theorem for abstract separation systems by using it to prove tree-of-tangles theorems. This approach allows us to strengthen some of the existing tree-of-tangles theorems by bounding…

We show that all the tangles in a finite graph or matroid can be distinguished by a single tree-decomposition that is invariant under the automorphisms of the graph or matroid. This comes as a corollary of a similar decomposition theorem…

This paper describes a first step towards the definition of an abstract machine for linguistic formalisms that are based on typed feature structures, such as HPSG. The core design of the abstract machine is given in detail, including the…

An abstract system of congruences describes a way of partitioning a space into finitely many pieces satisfying certain congruence relations. Examples of abstract systems of congruences include paradoxical decompositions and $n$-divisibility…

We apply a recent duality theorem for tangles in abstract separation systems to derive tangle-type duality theorems for width-parameters in graphs and matroids. We further derive a duality theorem for the existence of clusters in large data…

Semantic segmentation classifies each pixel in the image. Due to its advantages, semantic segmentation is used in many tasks, such as cancer detection, robot-assisted surgery, satellite image analysis, and self-driving cars. Accuracy and…

In this note we gather the theoretical outlines of three basic algorithms for tangles in abstract separation systems: a naive tree search for finding tangles; an algorithm which outputs a certificate for the non-existence of tangles if…

The mathematical formalisms used to model biological systems induce both latent and ambiguous assumptions that can limit or distort their representational capabilities. Developing formalisms that can represent systems more precisely is…

This paper presents a novel set of algorithms for heap abstraction, identifying logically related regions of the heap. The targeted regions include objects that are part of the same component structure (recursive data structure). The result…
