In this paper, we characterize the congruences of an arbitrary i--lattice, investigate the structure of the lattice they form and how it relates to the structure of the lattice of lattice congruences, then, for an arbitrary non--zero…
We show that the set of all measures on any measurable space is a complete lattice, i.e. every collection of measures has both a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound.
The Dowling lattice $Q_n(\mathfrak{G})$, $\mathfrak{G}$ a finite group, generalizes the geometric lattice generated by all vectors, over a field, with at most two nonzero components. Abstractly, it is a fundamental object in the…
We consider some lattices and look at discrete Laplacians on these lattices. In particular we look at solutions of the equation $\triangle(1)\phi = \triangle(2)Z$ where $\triangle(1)$ and $\triangle(2)$ are two such laplacians on the same…
As a generalization of orbit-polynomial and distance-regular graphs, we introduce the concept of a quotient-polynomial graph. In these graphs every vertex $u$ induces the same regular partition around $u$, where all vertices of each cell…
The exchange graph of a 2-acyclic quiver is the graph of mutation-equivalent quivers whose edges correspond to mutations. When the quiver admits a nondegenerate Jacobi-finite potential, the exchange graph admits a natural acyclic…
Let L be a bounded distributive lattice. We give several characterizations of those L^n --> L mappings that are polynomial functions, i.e., functions which can be obtained from projections and constant functions using binary joins and…
We give an optimal necessary and sufficient condition for the quotient polynomial and remainder in the division algorithm to have positive coefficients.
The dispersion of a point set in the unit square is defined to be the area of the largest empty axis-parallel box. In this paper we are interested in the dispersion of lattices in the plane, that is, the supremum of the area of the empty…
In this paper we introduce the localization construction for quantales. A quantale is a complete semilattice combined with a multiplication. We mimic the notion of filter in a lattice to define multiplicative filters in a quantale, and…
The lifetime of a system of connected units under some natural assumptions can be represented as a random variable Y defined as a weighted lattice polynomial of random lifetimes of its components. As such, the concept of a random variable Y…
We are interested in representations and characterizations of lattice polynomial functions f:L^n -> L, where L is a given bounded distributive lattice. In companion papers [arXiv 0901.4888, arXiv 0808.2619], we investigated certain…
Every lattice is isomorphic to a lattice whose elements are sets of sets, and whose operations are intersection and an operation extending the union of two sets of sets A and B by the set of all sets in which the intersection of an element…
A flat of a matroid is cyclic if it is a union of circuits; such flats form a lattice under inclusion and, up to isomorphism, all lattices can be obtained this way. A lattice is a Tr-lattice if all matroids whose lattices of cyclic flats…
We show that every distributive lattice-ordered pregroup can be embedded into a functional algebra over an integral chain, thus improving the existing Cayley/Holland-style embedding theorem. We use this to show that the variety of all…
We conjecture recurrence relations satisfied by the degrees of some linearizable lattice equations. This helps to prove linear growth of these equations. We then use these recurrences to search for lattice equations that have linear growth…
We investigate the lattice of machine invariant classes. This is an infinite completely distributive lattice but it is not a Boolean lattice. We show the subword complexity and the growth function create machine invariant classes. So the…
For a rank two root system and a pair of nonnegative integers, using only elementary combinatorics we construct two posets. The constructions are uniform across the root systems A1+A1, A2, C2, and G2. Examples appear in Figures 3.2 and 3.3.…
We give upper bounds on the minimal degree of a model in $\mathbb{P}^2$ and the minimal bidegree of a model in $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ of the curve defined by a given Laurent polynomial, in terms of the combinatorics of the…
In this paper subvarieties of pseudocomplemented distributive lattices are classified by their unification type. We determine the unification type of every particular unification problem in each subvariety of pseudocomplemented distributive…
