Characterisation of Lattices Induced by (extended) Chip Firing Games

چکیده
The Chip Firing Game (CFG) is a discrete dynamical model used in physics, computer science and economics. It is known that the set of configurations reachable from an initial configuration (this set is called the configuration space) can be ordered as a lattice. We first present a structural result about this model, which allows us to introduce some useful tools for describing those lattices. Then we establish that the class of lattices that are the configuration space of a CFG is strictly between the class of distributive lattices and the class of upper locally distributive (or ULD) lattices. Finally we propose an extension of the model, the coloured Chip Firing Game, which generates exactly the class of ULD lattices. keywords: Chip Firing Game, lattice, discrete dynamical model, Sand Pile Model

متن کاملClasses of lattices induced by chip firing (and sandpile) dynamics
In this paper we study three classes of models widely used in physics, computer science and social science: the Chip Firing Game, the Abelian Sandpile Model and the Chip Firing Game on a mutating graph. We study the set of configurations reachable from a given initial configuration, called the configuration space of a model, and try to determine the main properties of such sets. We study the or...
متن کاملThe behavior of Chip Firing Game and related model: A comprehensive survey
In this paper, we give a survey of known results concerning the presence of order structure and lattices in the context of discrete dynamical models derived from studies of Chip Firing Games.
متن کاملLattices generated by Chip Firing Game models: Criteria and recognition algorithms
It is well-known that the class of lattices generated by Chip Firing games (CFGs) is strictly included in the class of upper locally distributive lattices (ULD). However a necessary and sufficient criterion for this class is still an open question. In this paper we settle this problem by giving such a criterion. This criterion provides a polynomial-time algorithm for constructing a CFG which ge...
متن کاملA Bijection Between the Recurrent Configurations of a Hereditary Chip-Firing Model and Spanning Trees
Hereditary chip-firing models generalize the Abelian sandpile model and the cluster firing model to an exponential family of games induced by covers of the vertex set. This generalization retains some desirable properties, e.g. stabilization is independent of firings chosen and each chip-firing equivalence class contains a unique recurrent configuration. In this paper we present an explicit bij...
