In the present paper we introduce a lattice-ordered partial monoid structure on a suitable set of multilayer networks. We first study a kind of mappings that preserve the partial order and describe the order structure. After that we define…

A successive continuation method for locating connecting orbits in parametrized systems of autonomous ODEs was considered in [9]. In this paper we present an improved algorithm for locating and continuing connecting orbits, which includes a…

The combinatorial interpretation of the persistence diagram as a M\"obius inversion was recently shown to be functorial. We employ this discovery to recast the Persistent Homology Transform of a geometric complex as a representation of a…

Birkhoff's representation theorem (Birkhoff, 1937) defines a bijection between elements of a distributive lattice and the family of upper sets of an associated poset. Although not used explicitly, this result is at the backbone of the…

The concept of permutograph is introduced and properties of integral functions on permutographs are established. The central result characterizes the class of integral functions that are representable as lattice polynomials. This result is…

We develop a novel tool to study the fixed point property of finite posets using a topological approach. Our tool is a construction which turns out to induce an endofunctor of the homotopy category of finite $T_0$--spaces. We study many…

I give a theory of Moebius-flat hypersurfaces in n-dimensional projective space, analogous to that in conformal geometry. This unifies the classes of hypersurfaces with flat induced conformal structure (n > 3) and a classically studied…

We introduce a construction called realisation which transforms posets into posets. We show that realisations share several key features with upper semilattices. For example, we define local dimensions of points in a poset and show that…

Here we consider piecewise fractional linear maps with three branches. The paper presents a study of invariant measures with densities which can be written as infinite series. These series either have infinitely many poles or they sum up to…

The M\"obius function for a group, $G$, was introduced in 1936 by Hall in order to count ordered generating sets of $G$. In this paper we determine the M\"obius function of the simple small Ree groups, $R(q)={}^2G_2(q)$ where $q=3^{2m+1}$…

In this note we introduce the poset of $m$-multichains of a given poset $\mathcal{P}$. Its elements are the multichains of $\mathcal{P}$ consisting of $m$ elements, and its partial order is the componentwise partial order of $\mathcal{P}$.…

We compute the M\"obius function for the subgroup lattice of the simple Suzuki group $Sz(q)$; this is used to enumerate normal subgroups of certain Hecke groups with quotients isomorphic to $Sz(q)$.

Stanley and Grinberg introduced a symmetric function associated with digraphs and named it the Redei-Berge symmetric function. This function arises from a suitable combinatorial Hopf algebra on digraphs, which made it possible to assign the…

Due to the invariance properties of cross-ratio, M\"obius transformations are often used to map a set of points or other geometric object into a symmetric position to simplify a problem studied. However, when the points are mapped under a…

When an algebraic logic based on a poset instead of a lattice is investigated then there is a natural problem how to introduce the connective implication to be everywhere defined and satisfying (left) adjointness with the connective…
