Complexity in Convex Languages
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Closure properties of convex languages have been studied in this general framework of binary relations. ...
There are several advantages of studying the class of convex languages and its subclasses together. These classes are all definable by binary relations, in fact, by partial orders. ...
I am grateful to Galina Jirásková for a very careful reading of the manuscript, and to Jeff Shallit for the reference to Frobenius numbers. ...

Essentiality and convexity in the ranking of opportunity sets
2016
Social Choice and Welfare
We restrict attention to binary relations which are re ‡exive and transitive (pre-orders) and which further satisfy a monotonicity and desirability condition. ...
This paper studies the essential elements (Puppe, 1996) associated with binary relations over opportunity sets. ...
The convex hull of a set its "closure" with respect to forming convex combinations. Closure spaces provide an algebraic abstraction of the general notion of a closure operation. ...

On the minimality and global consistency of row-convex constraint networks
1995
Journal of the ACM
Finally, we generalize the results for binary constraint networks to networks with non-binary constraints. 2 ...
In this paper, we identify a property of binary constraints called row convexity and show its usefulness in deciding when a form of local consistency called path consistency is sucient to guarantee that ...

Closure operators: Complexity and applications to classification and decision-making
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
We study the complexity of closure operators, with applications to machine learning and decision theory. In machine learning, closure operators emerge naturally in data classification and clustering. ...
In decision theory, they can model equivalence of choice menus, and therefore situations with a preference for flexibility. ...
Some of these applications are related to convex geometries and their representations. ...

Similarity and Bisimilarity for Countable Non-Determinism and Higher-Order Functions (Extended Abstract)
1998
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
The di erences between the relations are illustrated by simple examples, and their continuity properties are discussed. ...
It is also shown that, in some cases, the addition of countable non-determinism to a programming language with nite non-determinism alters the theory of the language. ...
Acknowledgement We w ould like to thank Ralph Loader, Peter Mosses, Luke Ong, Stan Wainer, and especially Andrew Moran for helpful conversations. ...

Decision problems for convex languages
2011
Information and Computation
Similar results are proved for some subclasses of convex languages: the prefix-, suffix-, factor-, and subword-closed languages, and the prefix-, suffix-, factor-, and subword-free languages. ...
We examine decision problems for various classes of convex languages, previously studied by Ang and Brzozowski, originally under the name "continuous languages". ...
We thank the referees for their helpful comments, especially about NL-completeness, and also for their improvements to several proofs. ...

Infinitary Howe's Method
2006
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
That excludes, for example, languages with countable sum types, and has repeatedly caused problems in the literature. ...
Both extensions possess the key properties of Howe's extension, but it is their intersection that is compatible. ...
(For a finitary language, these are, respectively, the Howe extension and its dual.) Each of these possesses the same special properties enjoyed by Howe's extension that are used to show simulation. ...

Making Use of Similarity in Referential Semantics
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Similarity is then spelled out as indistinguishability with respect to a given set of attributes. ...
Therefore, expressions of similarity in natural language are of special interest: How to account for their meaning including the results on similarity in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence without ...
The representational layer facilitates comparing entities in the world with respect to their attributes and, in particular, determine whether they are similar with respect to certain attributes. ...

Throughout the modal walk through space, expressive power is analyzed in terms of language design, bisimulations, and correspondence phenomena. ...
This allows us to see new finestructure in spatial patterns which suggests analogies across these mathematical theories in terms of modal, temporal, and conditional logics. ...

Extracting semantics from data cubes using cube transversals and closures
2003
Proceedings of the ninth ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining - KDD '03
With this intention, we introduce two novel concepts: the cube transversals and the cube closures over the cube lattice of a categorical database relation. ...
Using cube transversals and closures, we define a new characterization of boundary sets which provide a condensed representation of version spaces used to enhance supervised classification. ...

Ramsey expansions of Λ-ultrametric spaces
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
For a finite lattice Λ, Λ-ultrametric spaces are a convenient language for describing structures equipped with a family of equivalence relations. ...
A point of technical interest is that our proof involves classes with non-unary algebraic closure operations. ...
The passage from Λ to the language of linear orders ensured that every equivalence relation corresponding to a meet-irreducible in Λ was made convex with respect to at least one of the linear orders added ...

Modal logics of some geometrical structures
2007
Problems of Information Transmission
We study modal logics of regions in a real space ordered by the inclusion and compact inclusion relations. ...
For various systems of regions, we propose complete finite modal axiomatizations; the described logics are finitely approximable and PSPACE-complete. ...
As examples of relations between regions, one may consider ⊆ (inclusion), (compact inclusion: A B ⇔ CA ⊆ IB, where I and C are the interior and the closure operators, respectively), their converse ⊇ and ...
