Galois connections (or residuated mapping) are of growing interest in various domains related with or relevant from Classification. Among their many uses, we select some topics related with modelization and aggregation of dissimilarities and conceptual classification. We partially revist them in...

The purpose of this paper is to extend Himmelberg's fixed point theorem replacing the usual convexity in topological vector spaces by an abstract topological notion of convexity which generalizes classical convexity as well as several metric convexity structures found in the literature. We prove...

The purpose of this paper is to show that the lattice Sn of permutations on a n-element set is bounded. This result strengthens the semi-distributive nature of the lattice Sn. To prove this property, we use a characterization of the class of bounded lattices in terms of arrows relations defined...

We investigate the stability problem for a nonlinear autoregressive model with Markov switching. First we give conditions for the existence and the uniqueness of a stationary ergodic solution. The existence of moments of such a solution is then examined and we establish a strong law numbers for...

For a given finite poset (P,-<), we construct strict completions of P which are models of all finite lattices L such that the set of join-irreducible elements of L is isomorphic to P.

In this paper, we study almost periodic (a.p.) solutions of discrete dynamical systems. We first adapt some results on a.p. differential equations to a.p. difference equations, on the link between boundedness of solutions and existence of a.p. solutions.
