Conservative Median Algebras and Semilattices
We characterize conservative median algebras and semilattices by means of forbidden substructures and by providing their representation as chains. Moreover, using a dual equivalence between median algebras and certain topological structures, we obtain descriptions of the median-preserving mappings between products of finitely many chains.
متن کاملThe median function on distributive semilattices
A median of a k-tuple =(x1; : : : ; xk) of elements of a 0nite metric space (X; d) is an element x for which ∑k i=1 d(x; xi) is minimum. The function m with domain the set of all k-tuples with k ¿ 0 and de0ned by m( ) = {x: x is a median of } is called the median function on X . Continuing with the program of characterizing m on various metric spaces, this paper presents a characterization of t...
متن کاملStrong quota pair systems and May's theorem on median semilattices
STRONG QUOTA PAIR SYSTEMS AND MAY’S THEOREM ON MEDIAN SEMILATTICES Lucas Hoots May 12, 2015 Kenneth May [16], in 1952, characterized simple majority rule in terms of three conditions: anonymity, neutrality, and positive responsiveness. In this thesis, we remove the condition of neutrality and obtain a characterization of the class of voting rules that satisfy anonymity and positive responsivene...
متن کاملThe Conservative Extension of MV-Algebras to Pavelka Algebras
In this paper we prove algebraic equivalents of the conservative extension theorems of Lukasiewicz propositional logic to rational Pavelka propositional logic. The results concerns the conservative extension and the very conservative extension of MV-algebras to Pavelka algebras.
متن کاملEmbedding Median Algebras in Products of Trees
We show that a metric median algebra satisfying certain conditions admits a bilipschitz embedding into a finite product of R-trees. This gives rise to a characterisation of closed connected subalgebras of finite products of complete R-trees up to bilipschitz equivalence. Spaces of this sort arise as asymptotic cones of coarse median spaces. This applies to a large class of finitely generated gr...
