Constraints on Derivations

چکیده

In (Kracht, 2001) we have proposed a theory of chains and compared three concurrent types of syntactic representations: Copy Chain Structures (CCSs), Trace Chain Structures (TCSs) and Multidominance Structures (MDSs). The first arise from copy movement as used in the Minimalist Program (MP), the second from copy and delete as used in GB (giving rise to traces), and the third arising from linking as used in Linking Grammars. Moreover, there is a bijective correspondence between derivations of structures of the respective types. Thus, viewed from the standpoint of derivations, the representations are equivalent. Moreover, there is a biunique correspondence between TCSs and MDSs, so that the latter two representations are equivalent in all respects. Motivations for this investigation as well as references may be found in (Kracht, 2001). In this paper we will concentrate on the possible derivations that can reach a given structure. This will help to elucidate the role that derivations play in syntactic theory, in particular in answering theoretical questions such as whether there is a theoretical need for derivations at all. The main question we ask is the following

Double derivations of n-Lie algebras

After introducing double derivations of $n$-Lie algebra $L$ we‎ ‎describe the relationship between the algebra $mathcal D(L)$ of double derivations and the usual‎ ‎derivation Lie algebra $mathcal Der(L)$‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we prove that the inner derivation algebra $ad(L)$‎ ‎is an ideal of the double derivation algebra $mathcal D(L)$; we also show that if $L$ is a perfect $n$-Lie algebra‎ ‎wit...

$(odot, oplus)$-Derivations and $(ominus, odot)$-Derivations on $MV$-algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notions of $(odot, oplus)$-derivations and $(ominus, odot)$-derivations for $MV$-algebras and discuss some related results. We study the connection between these derivations on an $MV$-algebra $A$ and the derivations on its boolean center. We characterize the isotone $(odot, oplus)$-derivations and prove that $(ominus, odot)$-derivations are isotone. Finally we d...

On $n$-derivations

In this article, the notion of $n-$derivation is introduced for all integers $ngeq 2$. Although all derivations are $n-$derivations,  in general these notions are not equivalent. Some properties of ordinary derivations are  investigated for $n-$derivations. Also, we show that under certain mild condition  $n-$derivations are derivations.

Loose Semantics and Constraints for GraphTransformation Systems ?

The main aim of this paper is an extension of the theory of algebraic graph transformation systems by a loose semantics. For this purpose, graph transitions are introduced as a loose interpretation of graph productions. They are deened using a double pullback construction in contrast to classical graph derivations based on double-pushouts. Two characterisation results relate graph transitions t...
