A clone on a set X is a set of finitary functions on X which contains the projections and which is closed under composition. The set of all clones on X forms a complete algebraic lattice Cl(X). We obtain several results on the structure of…
We investigate the structure of the lattice of clones on an infinite set X. We first observe that ultrafilters naturally induce clones; this yields a simple proof of Rosenberg's theorem: "there are 2^2^kappa many maximal (=precomplete)…
We first determine the maximal clones on a set X of infinite regular cardinality which contain all permutations but not all unary functions, extending a result of Heindorf's for countably infinite X. If |X| is countably infinite or weakly…
A clone on a set X is a set of finitary operations on X which contains all the projections and is closed under composition. The set of all clones forms a complete lattice Cl(X) with greatest element O, the set of all finitary operations.…
A clone on a set X is a set of finitary operations on X which contains all projections and which is moreover closed under functional composition. Ordering all clones on X by inclusion, one obtains a complete algebraic lattice, called the…
Let X be a linearly ordered set of arbitrary size (finite or infinite). Natural functions on such a set one can define using the linear order include maximum, minimum and median functions. While it is clear what the clone generated by the…
Let c be the cardinality of the continuum. We give a family of pairwise incomparable clones (on a countable base set) 2^c members, all with the same unary fragment, namely the set of all unary operations. We also give, for each n, a family…
We calculate the number of unary clones (submonoids of the full transformation monoid) containing the permutations, on an infinite base set. It turns out that this number is quite large, on some cardinals as large as the whole clone…
On an infinite base set X, every ideal of subsets of X can be associated with the clone of those operations on X which map small sets to small sets. We continue earlier investigations on the position of such clones in the clone lattice.
The main aim of this paper is to study aggregation functions on lattices via clone theory approach. Observing that the aggregation functions on lattices just correspond to $0,1$-monotone clones, as the main result we show that for any…
We consider finitary relations (also known as crosses) that are definable via finite disjunctions of unary relations, i.e. subsets, taken from a fixed finite parameter set $\Gamma$. We prove that whenever $\Gamma$ contains at least one…
Given an infinite set X and an ideal I of subsets of X, the set of all finitary operations on X which map all (powers of) I-small sets to I-small sets is a clone. In a 2001 article, G. Czedli and L. Heindorf asked whether or not for two…
A clonoid is a set of finitary functions from a set $A$ to a set $B$ that is closed under taking minors. Hence clonoids are generalizations of clones. By a classical result of Post, there are only countably many clones on a 2-element set.…
A clone of functions on a finite domain determines and is determined by its system of invariant relations (=predicates). When a clone is determined by a finite number of relations, we say that the clone is of finite degree. For each Minsky…
We investigate finitary functions from $\mathbb{Z}_{pq}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_{pq}$ for two distinct prime numbers $p$ and $q$. We show that the lattice of all clones on the set $\mathbb{Z}_{pq}$ which contain the addition of $\mathbb{Z}_{pq}$ is…
We characterize minimal clones generated by a majority function containing at most seven ternary operations.
We show that for an infinite set X, if L is a completely distributive algebraic lattice with not more completely join irreducible elements than the size of the power set of X, then there is a monoidal interval in the clone lattice on X…
The clone lattice Cl(X) over an infinite set X is a complete algebraic lattice with 2^X compact elements. We show that every algebraic lattice with at most 2^X compact elements is a complete sublattice of Cl(X).
We investigate the lattice of clones that are generated by a set of functions that are induced on a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ by monomials. We study the atoms and coatoms of this lattice and investigate whether this lattice contains…
Extending Sparks's theorem, we determine the cardinality of the lattice of $(C_1,C_2)$-clonoids of Boolean functions for certain pairs $(C_1,C_2)$ of clones of essentially unary, linear, or $0$- or $1$-separating functions or semilattice…
