We establish a new bridge between propositional logic and elementary number theory. The main objects are "minimally unsatisfiable clause-sets", short "MUs", unsatisfiable conjunctive normal forms rendered satisfiable by elimination of any…
The optimal lattice quantizer is the lattice which minimizes the (dimensionless) second moment $G$. In dimensions $1$ to $8$, it has been proven that the optimal lattice quantizer is one of the classical lattices, or there is good evidence…
The natural join and the inner union combine in different ways tables of a relational database. Tropashko [18] observed that these two operations are the meet and join in a class of lattices-called the relational lattices- and proposed…
We prove that every finite lattice L can be embedded in a three-generated finite lattice K. We also prove that every algebraic lattice with accessible cardinality is a complete sublattice of an appropriate algebraic lattice K such that K is…
A simple but elegant result of Rival states that every sublattice $L$ of a finite distributive lattice $\mathcal{P}$ can be constructed from $\mathcal{P}$ by removing a particular family $\mathcal{I}_L$ of its irreducible intervals.…
We postulate the intuitive idea of reducts of fuzzy contexts based on formal concept analysis and rough set theory. For a complete residuated lattice $L$, it is shown that reducts of $L$-contexts in formal concept analysis are…
A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
This paper introduces an abstract notion of fragments of monadic second-order logic. This concept is based on purely syntactic closure properties. We show that over finite words, every logical fragment defines a lattice of languages with…
This article intends to characterize triangular norms on a finite lattice. We first give a method for generating a triangular norm on an atomistic lattice by the values of atoms. Then we prove that every triangular norm on a non-Boolean…
Based on the complete-lattice approach, a new Lagrangian duality theory for set-valued optimization problems is presented. In contrast to previous approaches, set-valued versions for the known scalar formulas involving infimum and supremum…
For a class C of finite lattices, the question arises whether any lattice in C can be embedded into some atomistic, biatomic lattice in C. We provide answers to the question above for C being, respectively, --The class of all finite…
We characterize well-founded algebraic lattices by means of forbidden subsemilattices of the join-semilattice made of their compact elements. More specifically, we show that an algebraic lattice $L$ is well-founded if and only if $K(L)$,…
In this paper we establish bounds on the number of vertices for a few classes of convex sublattice-free lattice polygons. The bounds are essential for proving the formula for the critical number of vertices of a lattice polygon that ensures…
An atomic monoid $M$ is called a length-factorial monoid (or an other-half-factorial monoid) if for each non-invertible element $x \in M$ no two distinct factorizations of $x$ have the same length. The notion of length-factoriality was…
We propose a recursive lattice reduction framework for finding short non-zero vectors or dense sublattices of a lattice. The framework works by recursively searching for dense sublattices of dense sublattices (or their duals) with…
The Galois lattice is a graphic method of representing knowledge structures. The first basic purpose in this paper is to introduce a new class of Galois lattices, called graded Galois lattices. As a direct result, one can obtain the notion…
A join-semilattice $L$ is said to be conjunctive if it has a top element $1$ and it satisfies the following first-order condition: for any two distinct $a,b\in L$, there is $c\in L$ such that either $a\vee c\not=1=b\vee c$ or $a\vee…
Generalised algebraic theories (GATs) allow multiple sorts indexed over each other. For example, the theories of categories or Martin-L{\"o}f type theories form GATs. Categories have two sorts, objects and morphisms, and the latter are…
Classical mathematical models used in the semantics of programming languages and computation rely on idealized abstractions such as infinite-precision real numbers, unbounded sets, and unrestricted computation. In contrast, concrete…
We give a new proof of the fact that any finite quadratic module can be decomposed into indecomposable ones. For any indecomposable finite quadratic module, we construct a lattice, and a positive definite lattice, both of which are of the…
