Classes of functions of several variables on arbitrary non-empty domains that are closed under permutation of variables and addition of dummy variables are characterized in terms of generalized constraints, and hereby Hellerstein's Galois…
The general Galois theory for functions and relational constraints over arbitrary sets described in the authors' previous paper is refined by imposing algebraic conditions on relations.
In this paper we focus on functions of the form $A^n\rightarrow \mathcal{P}(B)$, for possibly different arbitrary non-empty sets $A$ and $B$, and where $\mathcal{P}(B)$ denotes the set of all subsets of $B$. These mappings are called…
We present a Galois theory connecting finitary operations with pairs of finitary relations one of which is contained in the other. The Galois closed sets on both sides are characterised as locally closed subuniverses of the full iterative…
Given a family of continuous real functions $\mathcal{G}$, let $R_\mathcal{G}$ be a binary relation defined as follows: a continuous function $f\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is in the relation with a closed set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ if…
We consider equations of the form Bf=g, where B is a Galois connection between lattices of functions. This includes the case where B is the Legendre-Fenchel transform, or more generally a Moreau conjugacy. We characterise the existence and…
We consider sets of operations on a set A that are closed under permutation of variables, addition of dummy variables and composition. We describe these closed sets in terms of a Galois connection between operations and systems of pointed…
It is a classical result from universal algebra that the notions of polymorphisms and invariants provide a Galois connection between suitably closed classes (clones) of finitary operations $f\colon B^n\to B$, and classes (coclones) of…
Multi-class systems having possibly both finite and infinite classes are investigated under a natural partial exchangeability assumption. It is proved that the conditional law of such a system, given the vector of the empirical measures of…
We present theoretical and practical results on the order theory of lattices of functions, focusing on Galois connections that abstract (sets of) functions - a topic known as higher-order abstract interpretation. We are motivated by the…
A correspondence between a monogenic function in an arbitrary finite-dimensional commutative associative algebra and a finite set of monogenic functions in a special commutative associative algebra is established.
One of the traditional applications of relation algebras is to provide a setting for infinite-domain constraint satisfaction problems. Complexity classification for these computational problems has been one of the major open research…
We study the basic Galois connection induced by the "satisfaction" relation between external operations $A^n\rightarrow B$ defined on a set $A$ and valued in a possibly different set $B$ on the one hand, and ordered pairs $(R,S)$ of…
One way of studying a relational structure is to investigate functions which are related to that structure and which leave certain aspects of the structure invariant. Examples are the automorphism group, the self-embedding monoid, the…
The essential variables in a finite function $f$ are defined as variables which occur in $f$ and weigh with the values of that function. The number of essential variables is an important measure of complexity for discrete functions. When…
This paper describes infinite sets of polynomial equations in infinitely many variables with the property that the existence of a solution or even an approximate solution for every finite subset of the equations implies the existence of a…
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…
We establish that any finite extension of function fields of genus greater than 1 whose relative class group is trivial is Galois and cyclic. This depends on a result from a preceding paper which establishes a finite list of possible Weil…
Classical applications of Galois theory concern algebraic numbers and algebraic functions. Still, the night before his duel, Galois wrote that his last mathematical thoughts had been directed toward applying his "theory of ambiguity to…
This paper presents a connection between Galois points and rational functions over a finite field with small value sets. This paper proves that the defining polynomial of any plane curve admitting two Galois points is an irreducible…
