On growth rates of closed permutation classes.
It is well known that every complete lattice can be considered as a complete lattice of closed sets with respect to appropriate closure operator. The theory of q-lattices as a natural generalization of lattices gives rise to a question whether a similar statement is true in the case of q-lattices. In the paper the so-called M-operators are introduced and it is shown that complete q-lattices are q-lattices of closed sets with respect to M-operators.
The notion of a TST-space is introduced and its connection with a parallelogram space is given. The existence of a TST-space is equivalent to the existence of a parallelogram space, which is a new characterization of a parallelogram space. The structure of a TST-space is described in terms of an abelian group.
