Further results on neutral consensus functions

G. D. Crown, M.-F. Janowitz, R. C. Powers (1995)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

We use a set theoretic approach to consensus by viewing an object as a set of smaller pieces called “bricks”. A consensus function is neutral if there exists a family D of sets such that a brick s is in the output of a profile if and only if the set of positions with objects that contain s belongs to D. We give sufficient set theoretic conditions for D to be a lattice filter and, in the case of a finite lattice, these conditions turn out to be necessary. Ourfinal result, which involves a finite...

Galois Lattice as a Framework to Specify Building Class Hierarchies Algorithms

M. Huchard, H. Dicky, H. Leblanc (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

In the context of object-oriented systems, algorithms for building class hierarchies are currently receiving much attention. We present here a characterization of several global algorithms. A global algorithm is one which starts with only the set of classes (provided with all their properties) and directly builds the hierarchy. The algorithms scrutinized were developped each in a different framework. In this survey, they are explained in a single framework, which takes advantage of a substructure...

Gate circuits in the algebra of transients

Janusz Brzozowski, Mihaela Gheorghiu (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We study simulation of gate circuits in the infinite algebra of transients recently introduced by Brzozowski and Ésik. A transient is a word consisting of alternating 0 s and 1 s; it represents a changing signal. In the algebra of transients, gates process transients instead of 0 s and 1 s. Simulation in this algebra is capable of counting signal changes and detecting hazards. We study two simulation algorithms: a general one that works with any initial state, and a special one that applies only if...
