On sets related to maximal clones
For an arbitrary h-ary relation ρ we are interested to express n-clone Polⁿρ in terms of some subsets of the set of all n-ary operations Oⁿ(A) on a finite set A, which are in general not clones but we can obtain Polⁿρ from these sets by using intersection and union. Therefore we specify the concept a function preserves a relation and moreover, we study the properties of this new concept and the connection between these sets and Polⁿρ. Particularly we study for arbitrary partial order relations,...
