We introduce an algorithm for computing closure systems derived from a family of implications on a set. Semilattices presentations are explored and used in conjunction with the algorithm to compute various types of lattices freely generated…
Let (G, *) be a semigroup, D subset of G, and n >= 2 be an integer. We say that (D, *) is an n-closed subset of G if a_1* ... *a_n in D for every a_1, ..., a_n in D. Hence every closed set is a 2-closed set. The concept of n-closed sets…
A well-known conjecture states that the Whitney numbers of the second kind of a geometric lattice (simple matroid) are logarithmically concave. We show this conjecture to be equivalent to proving an upper bound on the number of new copoints…
We count subrings of small index of $\mathbb{Z}^n$, where the addition and multiplication are defined componentwise. Let $f_n(k)$ denote the number of subrings of index $k$. For any $n$, we give a formula for this quantity for all integers…
The sequence 2,5,15,51,187,... with the form $(2^n+1)(2^{n-1}+1)/3$ has two interpretations in terms of the density of a language with four letters and the cardinality of the quotient of $\ZZ_2^n\times \ZZ_2^n$ under the action of the…
The objective of this paper is to determine the lattices of minimal covolume in SL_n(R), for n greater than 3. The answer turns out to be the simplest one: SL_n(Z) is, up to automorphism, the unique lattice of minimal covolume in SL_n(R).…
In this paper, we study the unimodular equivalence of sublattices in an $n$-dimensional lattice. A recursive procedure is given to compute the cardinalities of the unimodular equivalent classes with the indices which are powers of a prime…
We classify all of the groups with twelve or fewer subgroups. This paper is the proof of the entries in a submission to the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
In this study, we introduce the concept of quasi n-absorbing elements of multiplicative lattices. A proper element q is said to be a quasi n-absorbing element of L if whenever $a^nb\le q$ implies that either $a^n\le q$ or $a^{n-1}b\le q$.…
Various embedding problems of lattices into complete lattices are solved. We prove that for any join-semilattice S with the minimal join-cover refinement property, the ideal lattice IdS of S is both algebraic and dually algebraic.…
We present a natural reverse Minkowski-type inequality for lattices, which gives upper bounds on the number of lattice points in a Euclidean ball in terms of sublattice determinants, and conjecture its optimal form. The conjecture exhibits…
Let $ES(n)$ denote the minimum natural number such that every set of $ES(n)$ points in general position in the plane contains $n$ points in convex position. In 1935, Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres proved that $ES(n) \le {2n-4 \choose n-2}+1$. In…
We show that a tree of order $n$ has at most $O(5^{n/4})$ nonisomorphic subtrees, and that this bound is best possible. We also prove an analogous result for the number of nonisomorphic rooted subtrees of a rooted tree.
Extremal problems involving the enumeration of graph substructures have a long history in graph theory. For example, the number of independent sets in a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices is at most $(2^{d+1}-1)^{n/2d}$ by the Kahn-Zhao…
We provide the first examples of lattices on irreducible buildings that are not residually finite. Assuming that the normal subgroup property holds for them (which is expected) five of the lattices are simple.
In this paper, we study the posets of classes of subgroups of finite group having same set of orders of elements. We show that this poset is a chain only in the case of p-groups and moreover, we characterize all finite groups for which this…
This article describes a practical approach for determining the lattice of subgroups U < V < G between given subgroups U and G, provided the total number of such subgroups is not too large. It builds on existing functionality for element…
Over some types of trees with a given number of vertices, which trees minimize or maximize the total number of subtrees or leaf containing subtrees are studied. Here are some of the main results:\ (1)\, Sharp upper bound on the total number…
An N=(2|2) superfield formulation of the N=(1|1) supersymmetric Toda lattice hierarchy is proposed, and its five real forms are presented.
We show that in any subset of the vertices of $n$-dimensional cube that contains at least $2^{n-1}+1$ vertices ($n\geq 4$), there are four vertices that induce a claw, or there are eight vertices that induce the cycle of length eight.
