Median semilattices have been shown to be useful for deal- ing with phylogenetic classication problems since they subsume me- dian graphs, distributive lattices as well as other tree based classica- tion structures. Median semilattices can be thought of as distributive _-semilattices that satisfy the following property (TRI): for every triple x; y; z, if x ^ y, y ^ z and x ^ z exist, then x ^ y ^ z also exists. -

THE COMPLEXITY OF EMBEDDING ORDERS INTO SMALL PRODUCTS OF CHAINS. 1 2 O. RAYNAUD AND E. THIERRY 1 LIMOS, Universit´e Blaise Pascal, Campus des C´ezeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, France. E-mail address: [email protected] 2 LIAFA, Universit´e Paris 7 & LIP, ENS Lyon, France. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract. Embedding a partially ordered set into a product of chains is a classical way to encode it. Such encodings have been used in various fields such as object oriented programming or distributed computing. The embedding associates with each element a sequence of integers which is used to perform comparisons between elements. A critical measure is the space required by the encoding, and several authors have investigated ways to minimize it, which comes to embedding partially ordered sets into small products of chains. -
CS 103X: Discrete Structures Homework Assignment 1
CS 103X: Discrete Structures Homework Assignment 1 Due January 18, 2007 Exercise 1 (5 points). If 2A ⊆ 2B, what is the relation between A and B? Solution Recall that 2A is the set of all subsets of A, including A itself. The condition tells us that every subset of A is also a subset of B, and in particular A itself is a subset of B. So A ⊆ B. Exercise 2 (5 points). Prove or give a counterexample: If A ⊂ B and A ⊂ C, then A ⊂ B ∩ C. Solution Since ⊂ denotes the “proper subset” relation, this will not hold whenever A = B ∩ C. E.g. take A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {1, 2, 5, 6}. Exercise 3 (10 points). Prove or give a counterexample for each of the following: (a) If A ⊆ B and B ⊆ C, then A ⊆ C. (b) If A ∈ B and B ∈ C, then A ∈ C. Solution (a) Consider any element a ∈ A. Since A ⊆ B, every element of A is also an element of B, so a ∈ B. By the same reasoning, a ∈ C since B ⊆ C. Thus every element of A is an element of C, so A ⊆ C. (b) Let A = {1}, B = {1, {1}}, and C = {{1, {1}}, 3, {4}}. These sets satisfy A ∈ B and B ∈ C, but A/∈ C. Exercise 4 (20 points). Let A be a set with m elements and B be a set with n elements, and assume m < n. For each of the following sets, give upper and lower bounds on their cardinality and provide sufficient conditions for each bound to hold with equality. -

ON MONOMORPHISMS and EPIMORPHISMS in VARIETIES of ORDERED ALGEBRAS 1. Preliminaries Every Variety of Ordered Universal Algebras
ON MONOMORPHISMS AND EPIMORPHISMS IN VARIETIES OF ORDERED ALGEBRAS VALDIS LAAN AND SOHAIL NASIR Dedicated to Sydney Bulman-Fleming Abstract. We study morphisms in varieties of ordered universal algebras. We prove that (i) monomorphisms are precisely the injective homomorphisms, (ii) every regular monomorphism is an order embedding, but the converse is not true in general. Also, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a morphism to be a regular epimorphism. Finally, we discuss factorizations in such varieties. 1. Preliminaries Every variety of ordered universal algebras (as defined in [3] or [7]) is a category. It is natural to ask, what meaning have the basic categorical notions in these cate- gories. In this article we ask: what are the (regular) epi- or monomorphisms in such varieties? It turns out that, although, for example, monomorphisms and regular monomorphisms coincide in the varieties of unordered algebras (reference), this is not the case in the ordered situation. After describing several types of mono- and epimorphisms we finally show that each variety of ordered algebras has two kinds of factorization systems. As usual in universal algebra, the type of an algebra is a (possibly empty) set Ω which is a disjoint union of sets Ωk, k 2 N [ f0g. Definition 1 ([3]). Let Ω be an ordered type. An ordered Ω-algebra (or simply ordered algebra) is a triplet A = (A; ΩA; ≤A) comprising a poset (A; ≤ −A) and a set ΩA of operations on A (for every k-ary operation symbol ! 2 Ωk there is a k-ary operation !A 2 ΩA on A) such that all the operations !A are monotone mappings, where monotonicity of !A (! 2 Ωk) means that 0 0 0 0 a1 ≤A a1 ^ ::: ^ ak ≤A ak =) !A(a1; : : : ; ak) ≤A !A(a1; : : : ; ak) 0 0 for all a1; : : : ; ak; a1; : : : ; ak 2 A. -

Journal of Algebraic Systems Vol. 2, No. 2, (2014), pp 137-146 COGENERATOR AND SUBDIRECTLY IRREDUCIBLE IN THE CATEGORY OF S-POSETS GH. MOGHADDASI Abstract. In this paper we study the notions of cogenerator and subdirectly irreducible in the category of S-posets. First we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for an S-poset to be a cogenerator. Then we see that under some conditions, regular in- jectivity implies generator and cogenerator. Recalling Birkhoff's Representation Theorem for algebras, we study subdirectly irreducible S-posets and prove this theorem for the category of ordered right acts over an ordered monoid. Among other things, we present the relationship between cogenerators and subdirectly irreducible S-posets. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries Laan [8] studied the generators in the category of right S-posets, where S is a pomonoid. Also Knauer and Normak [7] gave a relation between cogenerators and subdirectly irreducibles in the category of right S-acts. The main objective of this paper is to study cogenerators and subdirectly irreducible S-posets. Some properties of the category of S-posets have been studied in many papers, and recently in [2, 3, 5]. Now we give some preliminaries about S-act and S-poset needed in the sequel. A pomonoid is a monoid S equipped with a partial order relation ≤ which is compatible with the monoid operation, in the sense that, if s ≤ t then su ≤ tu; us ≤ ut, for all s; t; u 2 S.

An Algorithmic Approach to Lattices and Order in Dynamics
Manuscript: Preprint Version BTBR-5.tex Date: July 19, 2017. AN ALGORITHMIC APPROACH TO LATTICES AND ORDER IN DYNAMICS William D. Kalies,Dinesh Kasti Florida Atlantic University 777 Glades Road Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA Robert Vandervorst VU University De Boelelaan 1081a 1081 HV, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract. Recurrent versus gradient-like behavior in global dynamics can be character- ized via a surjective lattice homomorphism between certain bounded, distributive lattices, that is, between attracting blocks (or neighborhoods) and attractors. Using this characteri- zation, we build finite, combinatorial models in terms of surjective lattice homomorphisms, which lay a foundation for a computational theory for dynamical systems that focuses on Morse decompositions and index lattices. In particular we present an algorithm that builds a combinatorial model that represents a Morse decomposition for the underlying dynamics. We give computational examples that illustrate the theory for both maps and flows. 1. Introduction. Recent work in computational dynamics has led to the use of combi- natorial representations of dynamical systems to extract rigorous statements about global dynamics and how this dynamics changes with respect to parameters, cf. [16,2,1,5,8]. Further development of these methods relies on understanding the way in which lattices and order naturally play a role in dynamics on the fundamental level of attractors, repellers, and invariant sets, cf. [19]. Analogues of these basic concepts in dynamical systems theory also exist in directed graphs and are used to analyze combinatorial representations of dynamical systems. Recent results have addressed how robustly these combinatorial representations may capture the global dynamics of an underlying dynamical system, cf. -

Hierarchical Density Order Embeddings
Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2018 HIERARCHICAL DENSITY ORDER EMBEDDINGS Ben Athiwaratkun, Andrew Gordon Wilson Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14850, USA ABSTRACT By representing words with probability densities rather than point vectors, proba- bilistic word embeddings can capture rich and interpretable semantic information and uncertainty (Vilnis & McCallum, 2014; Athiwaratkun & Wilson, 2017). The uncertainty information can be particularly meaningful in capturing entailment relationships – whereby general words such as “entity” correspond to broad dis- tributions that encompass more specific words such as “animal” or “instrument”. We introduce density order embeddings, which learn hierarchical representations through encapsulation of probability distributions. In particular, we propose simple yet effective loss functions and distance metrics, as well as graph-based schemes to select negative samples to better learn hierarchical probabilistic representations. Our approach provides state-of-the-art performance on the WORDNET hypernym relationship prediction task and the challenging HYPERLEX lexical entailment dataset – while retaining a rich and interpretable probabilistic representation. 1 INTRODUCTION Learning feature representations of natural data such as text and images has become increasingly important for understanding real-world concepts. These representations are useful for many tasks, ranging from semantic understanding of words and sentences (Mikolov et al., 2013; Kiros et al., 2015), image caption generation (Vinyals et al., 2015), textual entailment prediction (Rocktäschel et al., 2015), to language communication with robots (Bisk et al., 2016). Meaningful representations of text and images capture visual-semantic information, such as hier- archical structure where certain entities are abstractions of others. For instance, an image caption “A dog and a frisbee” is an abstraction of many images with possible lower-level details such as a dog jumping to catch a frisbee or a dog sitting with a frisbee (Figure 1a). -
