Set optimization - a rather short introduction
Recent developments in set optimization are surveyed and extended including
various set relations as well as fundamental constructions of a convex analysis
for set- and vector-valued functions, and duality for set optimization
problems. Extensive sections with bibliographical comments summarize the state
of the art. Applications to vector optimization and financial risk measures are
discussed along with algorithmic approaches to set optimization problems
Towards a generalisation of formal concept analysis for data mining purposes
In this paper we justify the need for a generalisation of Formal
Concept Analysis for the purpose of data mining and begin the
synthesis of such theory. For that purpose, we first review semirings and
semimodules over semirings as the appropriate objects to use in abstracting
the Boolean algebra and the notion of extents and intents, respectively.
We later bring to bear powerful theorems developed in the field
of linear algebra over idempotent semimodules to try to build a Fundamental
Theorem for K-Formal Concept Analysis, where K is a type of
idempotent semiring. Finally, we try to put Formal Concept Analysis in
new perspective by considering it as a concrete instance of the theory
developed
Partial Orders, Residuation, and First-Order Linear Logic
We will investigate proof-theoretic and linguistic aspects of first-order
linear logic. We will show that adding partial order constraints in such a way
that each sequent defines a unique linear order on the antecedent formulas of a
sequent allows us to define many useful logical operators. In addition, the
partial order constraints improve the efficiency of proof search.Comment: 33 page
