A two-dimensional bistable lattice is a periodic triangular network of non-linear bi-stable rods. The energy of each rod is piecewise quadratic and has two minima. Consequently, a rod undergoes a reversible phase transition when its…
Implicational bases are a well-known representation of closure spaces and their closure lattices. This representation is not unique, though, and a closure space usually admits multiple bases. Among these, the canonical base, the canonical…
Let $L\subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a lattice and $I_L=\langle x^{\bf u}-x^{\bf v}:\ {\bf u}-{\bf v}\in L\rangle$ be the corresponding lattice ideal in $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$, where $\Bbbk$ is a field. In this paper we describe minimal…
We illustrate some problems that are related to the existence of an underlying linear structure at the level of the property lattice associated with a physical system, for the particular case of two explicitly separated spin 1/2 objects…
In this letter, we show how transformation optics makes it possible to design what we call conjugate metamaterials. We show that these materials can also serve as substrates for making a subwavelength-resolution lens. The so-called "perfect…
We study the poset of normalized ideals of a numerical semigroup with multiplicity three. We show that this poset is always a lattice, and that two different numerical semigroups with multiplicity three have non-isomorphic posets of…
We construct a metrizable Lawson semitopological semilattice $X$ whose partial order $\le_X=\{(x,y)\in X\times X:xy=x\}$ is not closed in $X\times X$. This resolves a problem posed earlier by the authors.
If a partition of a lattice in R^d is selfsimilar, it is called lattice substitution system (LSS). Such sets represent nonperiodic, but highly ordered structures. An important property of such structures is, whether they are model sets or…
The paper presents results about strong metric subregularity of the optimality mapping associated with the system of first-order necessary optimality conditions for a problem of optimal control of a semilinear parabolic equation. The…
Associated with any composition beta=(a,b,...) is a corresponding fence poset F(beta) whose covering relations are x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_{a+1} > x_{a+2} > ... > x_{a+b+1} < x_{a+b+2} < ... The distributive lattice L(beta) of all lower order…
In a 2001 paper, Shareshian conjectured that the subgroup lattice of a finite, solvable group has an EL-labeling. We construct such a labeling, and verify that our labeling has the expected properties.
This paper develops a smooth test of goodness-of-fit for elliptical distributions. The test is adaptively omnibus, invariant to affine-linear transformations and has a convenient expression that can be broken into components. These…
We completely determine upper-modular, codistributive and costandard elements in the lattice of all commutative semigroup varieties. In particular, we prove that the properties of being upper-modular and codistributive elements in the…
A semigroup $S$ is called a weakly exponential semigroup if, for every couple $(a,b)\in S\times S$ and every positive integer $n$, there is a non-negative integer $m$ such that $(ab)^{n+m}=a^nb^n(ab)^m=(ab)^ma^nb^n$. A semigroup $S$ is…
Decision trees are one of the most popular methods for solving classification problems, mainly because of their good interpretability properties. Moreover, due to advances in recent years in mixed-integer optimization, several models have…
Since their introduction by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp in 2007, more than four dozen papers have been devoted to finite slim planar semimodular lattices (in short, SPS lattices or slim semimodular lattices) and to some related fields. In…
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…
Unitally nondistributive quantales are unital quantales such that the unit is approximable by the totally below relation and does not meet-distribute over arbitrary joins. It is shown that the underlying nondistributive complete lattice…
This paper studies systems of linear difference equations on the lattice $\Z^n$ that are invariant under a finite group of symmetries, and shows that there exist solutions to such systems that are also invariant under this group of…
Partially ordered sets labeled with k labels (k-posets) and their homomorphisms are examined. We give a representation of directed graphs by k-posets; this provides a new proof of the universality of the homomorphism order of k-posets. This…
