On implicational bases of closure systems with unique critical sets

We show that every optimum basis of a finite closure system, in D.Maier's sense, is also right-side optimum, which is a parameter of a minimum CNF representation of a Horn Boolean function. New parameters for the size of the binary part are also established. We introduce a K-basis of a general closure system, which is a refinement of the canonical basis of Duquenne and Guigues, and discuss a polynomial algorithm to obtain it. We study closure systems with the unique criticals and some of its subclasses, where the K-basis is unique. A further refinement in the form of the E-basis is possible for closure systems without D-cycles. There is a polynomial algorithm to recognize the D-relation from a K-basis. Thus, closure systems without D-cycles can be effectively recognized. While E-basis achieves an optimum in one of its parts, the optimization of the others is an NP-complete problem.

Notes on the description of join-distributive lattices by permutations

Let L be a join-distributive lattice with length n and width(Ji L) \leq k. There are two ways to describe L by k-1 permutations acting on an n-element set: a combinatorial way given by P.H. Edelman and R.E. Jamison in 1985 and a recent lattice theoretical way of the second author. We prove that these two approaches are equivalent. Also, we characterize join-distributive lattices by trajectories.

Ordered direct implicational basis of a finite closure system

Closure system on a finite set is a unifying concept in logic programming, relational data bases and knowledge systems. It can also be presented in the terms of finite lattices, and the tools of economic description of a finite lattice have long existed in lattice theory. We present this approach by describing the so-called D-basis and introducing the concept of ordered direct basis of an implicational system. A direct basis of a closure operator, or an implicational system, is a set of implications that allows one to compute the closure of an arbitrary set by a single iteration. This property is preserved by the D-basis at the cost of following a prescribed order in which implications will be attended. In particular, using an ordered direct basis allows to optimize the forward chaining procedure in logic programming that uses the Horn fragment of propositional logic. One can extract the D-basis from any direct unit basis S in time polynomial in the size of S, and it takes only linear time of the cardinality of the D-basis to put it into a proper order. We produce examples of closure systems on a 6-element set, for which the canonical basis of Duquenne and Guigues is not ordered direct.

Lattices of quasi-equational theories as congruence lattices of semilattices with operators, Part I

We show that for every quasivariety K of structures (where both functions and relations are allowed) there is a semilattice S with operators such that the lattice of quasi-equational theories of K (the dual of the lattice of sub-quasivarieties of K) is isomorphic to Con(S,+,0,F). As a consequence, new restrictions on the natural quasi-interior operator on lattices of quasi-equational theories are found.

Lattices of quasi-equational theories as congruence lattices of semilattices with operators, Part II

Part I proved that for every quasivariety K of structures (which may have both operations and relations) there is a semilattice S with operators such that he lattice of quasi-equational theories of K (the dual of the lattice of sub-quasivarieties of K) is isomorphic to Con(S,+,0,F). It is known that if S is a join semilattice with 0 (and no operators), then there is a quasivariety Q such that the lattice of theories of Q is isomorphic to Con(S,+,0). We prove that if S is a semilattice having both 0 and 1 with a group G of operators acting on S, and each operator in G fixes both 0 and 1, then there is a quasivariety W such that the lattice of quasi-equational theories of W is isomorphic to Con(S,+,0,G).

Stasheff polytope as a sublattice of permutohedron

An assosiahedron $\mathcal{K}^n$, known also as Stasheff polytope, is a multifaceted combinatorial object, which, in particular, can be realized as a convex hull of certain points in $\mathbf{R}^{n}$, forming $(n-1)$-dimensional polytope. A permutahedron $\mathcal{P}^n$ is a polytope of dimension $(n-1)$ in $\mathbf{R}^{n}$ with vertices forming various permutations of $n$-element set. There exist well-known orderings of vertices of $\mathcal{P}^n$ and $\mathcal{K}^n$ that make these objects into lattices: the first known as permutation lattices, and the latter as Tamari lattices. We establish that the vertices of $\mathcal{K}^n$ can be naturally associated with particular vertices of $\mathcal{P}^n$ in such a way that the corresponding lattice operations are preserved. In lattices terms, Tamari lattices are sublattices of permutation lattices. More generally, this defines the application of associative law as a special form of permutation.

Representing finite convex geometries by relatively convex sets

A closure system with the anti-exchange axiom is called a convex geometry. One geometry is called a sub-geometry of the other if its closed sets form a sublattice in the lattice of closed sets of the other. We prove that convex geometries of relatively convex sets in $n$-dimensional vector space and their finite sub-geometries satisfy the $n$-Carousel Rule, which is the strengthening of the $n$-Carath$\acute{e}$odory property. We also find another property, that is similar to the simplex partition property and does not follow from $2$-Carusel Rule, which holds in sub-geometries of $2$-dimensional geometries of relatively convex sets.

On complex algebras of subalgebras

We establish a condition (so called generalized entropic property), equivalent to the fact that for every algebra A from a given variety V, the set of all subalgebras of A is a subuniverse of the complex algebra of A. We investigate the relationship between the generalized entropic property and the entropic law. Further, we study the identities satisfied by the complex algebras of subalgebras of algebras from a variety V.

Embedding finite lattices into finite biatomic lattices

For a class C of finite lattices, the question arises whether any lattice in C can be embedded into some atomistic, biatomic lattice in C. We provide answers to the question above for C being, respectively, --The class of all finite lattices; --The class of all finite lower bounded lattices (solved by the first author's earlier work). --The class of all finite join-semidistributive lattices (this problem was, until now, open). We solve the latter problem by finding a quasi-identity valid in all finite, atomistic, biatomic, join-semidistributive lattices but not in all finite join-semidistributive lattices.
