We describe which pairs of distributive lattice polynomial operations commute.

The Congruence Lattice Problem asks whether every algebraic distributive lattice is isomorphic to the congruence lattice of a lattice. It was hoped that a positive solution would follow from E. T. Schmidt’s construction or from the approach of P. Pudlák, M. Tischendorf, and J. Tůma. In a previous paper, we constructed a distributive algebraic lattice A with א2 compact elements that cannot be ob...

We provide a characterization of upper locally distributive lattices (ULD-lattices) in terms of edge colorings of their cover graphs. In many instances where a set of combinatorial objects carries the order structure of a lattice this characterization yields a slick proof of distributivity or UL-distributivity. This is exemplified by proving a distributive lattice structure on ∆-bonds with inva...

Covering is a common type of data structure and covering-based rough set theory is an efficient tool to process this data. Lattice is an important algebraic structure and used extensively in investigating some types of generalized rough sets. In this paper, we propose two family of sets and study the conditions that these two sets become some lattice structures. These two sets are consisted by ...

Representing and reasoning with an agent’s preferences is important in many applications of constraints formalisms. Such preferences are often only partially ordered. One class of soft constraints formalisms, semiring-based CSPs, allows a partially ordered set of preference degrees, but this set must form a distributive lattice; whilst this is convenient computationally, it considerably restric...

Several instances of distributive lattices on graph structures are known. This includes c-orientations (Propp), α-orientations of planar graphs (Felsner/de Mendez) planar flows (Khuller, Naor and Klein) as well as some more special instances, e.g., spanning trees of a planar graph, matchings of planar bipartite graphs and Schnyder woods. We provide a characterization of upper locally distributi...

A discrete Sugeno integral on a bounded distributive lattice L is defined as an idempotent weighted polynomial. Another possibility for axiomatization of integrals to consider compatible aggregation functions, uniquely extending the L-valued fuzzy measures. This paper aims study mentioned unique extension property concerning possible non-distributive lattices. We show that this equivalent distr...

‎We give a simple and independent axiomatization of reticulations on residuated lattices‎, ‎which were axiomatized by five conditions in [C‎. ‎Mureşan‎, ‎The reticulation of a residuated lattice‎, ‎Bull‎. ‎Math‎. ‎Soc‎. ‎Sci‎. ‎Math‎. ‎Roumanie‎ ‎51 (2008)‎, ‎no‎. ‎1‎, ‎47--65]‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we show that reticulations can be considered as lattice homomorphisms between residuated lattices and b...

In this work we develop a categorical duality for certain classes of manysorted algebras, called many-sorted lattices because each sort admits a structure of distributive lattice. This duality is strongly based on the Priestley duality for distributive lattices developed in [3] and [4] and on the representation of many sorted lattices with operators given by Sofronie-Stokkermans in [6]. In this...
