We describe the basic lattice structures of attractors and repellers in dynamical systems. The structure of distributive lattices allows for an algebraic treatment of gradient-like dynamics in general dynamical systems, both invertible and…
We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show…
The Conley index theory is a powerful topological tool for describing the basic structure of dynamical systems. One important feature of this theory is the attractor-repeller decomposition of isolated invariant sets. In this decomposition,…
This paper introduces the order-theoretic concept of lattices along with the concept of consistent quantification where lattice elements are mapped to real numbers in such a way that preserves some aspect of the order-theoretic structure.…
We define and study semilattices and lattices for $E$-closed families of theories. Properties of these semilattices and lattices are investigated. It is shown that lattices for families of theories with least generating sets are…
There are numerous generalizations of the celebrated Priestley duality for bounded distributive lattices to the non-distributive setting. The resulting dualities rely on an earlier foundational work of such authors as Nachbin,…
This paper studies the differential lattice, defined to be a lattice $L$ equipped with a map $d:L\to L$ that satisfies a lattice analog of the Leibniz rule for a derivation. Isomorphic differential lattices are studied and classifications…
We introduce combinatorial multivector fields, associate with them multivalued dynamics and study their topological features. Our combinatorial multivector fields generalize combinatorial vector fields of Forman. We define isolated…
A model for diffusion on a cubic lattice with a random distribution of traps is developed. The traps are redistributed at certain time intervals. Such models are useful for describing systems showing dynamic disorder, such as ion-conducting…
This is a self-contained tour of the Conley index and connection matrices. The starting point is Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems. There is a short stop at the necessary topological background, before we proceed to the…
Our main goal is to develop a representation for finite distributive nearlattices through certain ordered structures. This representation generalizes the well-known representation given by Birkhoff for finite distributive lattices through…
For L a finite lattice, let C(L) denote the set of pairs g = (g_0,g_1) such that g_0 is a lower cover of g_1 and order it as follows: g <= d iff g_0 <= d_0, g_1 <= d_1, but not g_1 <= d_0. Let C(L,g) denote the connected component of g in…
Problems related to projections on closed convex cones are frequently encountered in optimization theory and related fields. To study these problems, various unifying ideas have been introduced, including asymmetric vector-valued norms and…
A modular or distributive lattice is `diamond-colored' if its order diagram edges are colored in such a way that, within any diamond of edges, parallel edges have the same color. Such lattices arise naturally in combinatorial representation…
The ordering relation of a bounded distributive lattice L is a (distributive) (0, 1)-sublattice of L \times L. This construction gives rise to a functor \Phi from the category of bounded distributive lattices to itself. We examine the…
Using Conley theory we show that local attractors remain (past) attractors under small non-autonomous perturbations. In particular, the attractors of the perturbed systems will have positive invariant neighborhoods and converge upper…
In applications that use knowledge representation (KR) techniques, in particular those that combine data-driven and logic methods, the domain of objects is not an abstract unstructured domain, but it exhibits a dedicated, deep structure of…
Conley index theory is a very powerful tool in the study of dynamical systems, differential equations and bifurcation theory. In this paper, we make an attempt to generalize the Conley index to discrete random dynamical systems. And we…
This paper provides a fresh perspective on the representation of distributive bilattices and of related varieties. The techniques of naturalduality are employed to give, economically and in a uniform way, categories ofstructures dually…
A mixed lattice is a lattice-type structure consisting of a set with two partial orderings, and generalizing the notion of a lattice. Mixed lattice theory has previously been studied in various algebraic structures, such as groups and…
