We consider relations with no order on their attributes as in Database Theory. An independent partition of the set of attributes S of a finite relation R is any partition X of S such that the join of the projections of R over the elements of X yields R. Identifying independent partitions has many applications and corresponds conceptually to revealing orthogonality between sets of dimensions in multidimensional point spaces. A subset of S is termed self-correlated if there is a value of each of its attributes such that no tuple of R contains all those values. This paper uncovers a connection between independence and self-correlation, showing that the maximum independent partition is the least fixed point of a certain inflationary transformer alpha that operates on the finite lattice of partitions of S. alpha is defined via the minimal self-correlated subsets of S. We use some additional properties of alpha to show the said fixed point is still the limit of the standard approximation sequence, just as in Kleenes well-known fixed point theorem for continuous functions.
A number of universally consistent dependence measures have been recently proposed for testing independence, such as distance correlation, kernel correlation, multiscale graph correlation, etc. They provide a satisfactory solution for dependence test
In this work we introduce a notion of independence based on finite-state automata: two infinite words are independent if no one helps to compress the other using one-to-one finite-state transducers with auxiliary input. We prove that, as expected, th
The combinatorics of squares in a word depends on how the equivalence of halves of the square is defined. We consider Abelian squares, parameterized squares, and order-preserving squares. The word $uv$ is an Abelian (parameterized, order-preserving)
Multiple interval graphs are variants of interval graphs where instead of a single interval, each vertex is assigned a set of intervals on the real line. We study the complexity of the MAXIMUM CLIQUE problem in several classes of multiple interval gr
This paper aims at comparing two coupling approaches as basic layers for building clustering criteria, suited for modularizing and clustering very large networks. We briefly use optimal transport theory as a starting point, and a way as well, to deri
