Separability and Aggregation of Equivalence Relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide axiomatic characterizations of two natural families of rules for aggregating equivalence relations: the family of join aggregators and the family of meet aggregators. The central conditions in these characterizations are two separability axioms. Disjunctive separability, neutrality, and unanimity characterize the family of join aggregators. On the other hand, conjunctive separability and unanimity characterize the family of meet aggregators. We show another characterization of the family of meet aggregators using conjunctive separability and two Pareto axioms, Pareto+ and Pareto. If we drop Pareto, then conjunctive separability and Pareto+ characterize the family of meet aggregators along with a trivial aggregator.

متن کاملFUZZY SUBGROUPS AND CERTAIN EQUIVALENCE RELATIONS
In this paper, we study an equivalence relation on the set of fuzzysubgroups of an arbitrary group G and give four equivalent conditions each ofwhich characterizes this relation. We demonstrate that with this equivalencerelation each equivalence class constitutes a lattice under the ordering of fuzzy setinclusion. Moreover, we study the behavior of these equivalence classes under theaction of a...
متن کاملDefinable cardinals just beyond R/Q
We establish the inexistence of countable bases for the family of definable cardinals associated with countable Borel equivalence relations which are not measure reducible to E0, thereby ruling out natural generalizations of the Glimm-Effros dichotomy. We also push the primary known results concerning the abstract structure of the Borel cardinal hierarchy nearly to its base, using arguments sub...
متن کاملOn certain semigroups of transformations that preserve double direction equivalence
Let TX be the full transformation semigroups on the set X. For an equivalence E on X, let TE(X) = {α ∈ TX : ∀(x, y) ∈ E ⇔ (xα, yα) ∈ E}It is known that TE(X) is a subsemigroup of TX. In this paper, we discussthe Green's *-relations, certain *-ideal and certain Rees quotient semigroup for TE(X).
متن کاملEquivalence of Queries with Nested Aggregation
Query equivalence is a fundamental problem within database theory. The correctness of all forms of logical query rewriting—join minimization, view flattening, rewriting over materialized views, various semantic optimizations that exploit schema dependencies, federated query processing and other forms of data integration—requires proving that the final executed query is equivalent to the origina...
