Axial permutations of ω²

Paweł Klinga (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that every permutation of ω² is a composition of a finite number of axial permutations, where each axial permutation moves only a finite number of elements on each axis.

Binary and ternary relations

Vítězslav Novák, Miroslav Novotný (1992)

Mathematica Bohemica

Two operators are constructed which make it possible to transform ternary relations into binary relations defined on binary relations and vice versa. A possible graphical representation of ternary relations is described.

Boolean matrices ... neither Boolean nor matrices

Gabriele Ricci (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Boolean matrices, the incidence matrices of a graph, are known not to be the (universal) matrices of a Boolean algebra. Here, we also show that their usual composition cannot make them the matrices of any algebra. Yet, later on, we "show" that it can. This seeming paradox comes from the hidden intrusion of a widespread set-theoretical (mis) definition and notation and denies its harmlessness. A minor modification of this standard definition might fix it.

Characterizing tolerance trivial finite algebras

Ivan Chajda (1994)

Archivum Mathematicum

An algebra A is tolerance trivial if A ̰ = A where A ̰ is the lattice of all tolerances on A . If A contains a Mal’cev function compatible with each T A ̰ , then A is tolerance trivial. We investigate finite algebras satisfying also the converse statement.

Class preserving mappings of equivalence systems

Ivan Chajda (2004)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

By an equivalence system is meant a couple 𝒜 = ( A , θ ) where A is a non-void set and θ is an equivalence on A . A mapping h of an equivalence system 𝒜 into is called a class preserving mapping if h ( [ a ] θ ) = [ h ( a ) ] θ ' for each a A . We will characterize class preserving mappings by means of permutability of θ with the equivalence Φ h induced by h .

Coalgebras for binary methods : properties of bisimulations and invariants

Hendrik Tews (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Coalgebras for endofunctors 𝒞 𝒞 can be used to model classes of object-oriented languages. However, binary methods do not fit directly into this approach. This paper proposes an extension of the coalgebraic framework, namely the use of extended polynomial functors 𝒞 o p × 𝒞 𝒞 . This extension allows the incorporation of binary methods into coalgebraic class specifications. The paper also discusses how to define bisimulation and invariants for coalgebras of extended polynomial functors and proves many standard...

Composition of axial functions of products of finite sets

Krzysztof Płotka (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that every function f: A × B → A × B, where |A| ≤ 3 and |B| < ω, can be represented as a composition f₁ ∘ f₂ ∘ f₃ ∘ f₄ of four axial functions, where f₁ is a vertical function. We also prove that for every finite set A of cardinality at least 3, there exist a finite set B and a function f: A × B → A × B such that f ≠ f₁ ∘ f₂ ∘ f₃ ∘ f₄ for any axial functions f₁, f₂, f₃, f₄, whenever f₁ is a horizontal function.

Compositions of ternary relations

Norelhouda Bakri, Lemnaouar Zedam, Bernard De Baets (2021)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we introduce six basic types of composition of ternary relations, four of which are associative. These compositions are based on two types of composition of a ternary relation with a binary relation recently introduced by Zedam et al. We study the properties of these compositions, in particular the link with the usual composition of binary relations through the use of the operations of projection and cylindrical extension.
