Tamari Interval-posets¶

This module implements Tamari interval-posets: combinatorial objects which represent intervals of the Tamari order. They have been introduced in [PCh2013] and allow for many combinatorial operations on Tamari intervals. In particular, they are linked to DyckWords and BinaryTrees. An introduction into Tamari interval-posets is given in Chapter 7 of [Pons2013].

The Tamari lattice can be defined as a lattice structure on either of several classes of Catalan objects, especially binary trees and Dyck paths [TamBrack1962] [HuangTamari1972] [Sta-EC2]. An interval can be seen as a pair of comparable elements. The number of intervals has been given in [ChapTamari08].

class sage.combinat.interval_posets.TamariIntervalPoset(parent, size, relations, check=True)¶

Bases: sage.structure.element.Element

The class of Tamari interval-posets.

An interval-poset is a labelled poset of size \(n\), with labels \(1, 2, \ldots, n\), satisfying the following conditions:

if \(a < c\) (as integers) and \(a\) precedes \(c\) in the poset, then, for all \(b\) such that \(a < b < c\), \(b\) precedes \(c\),
if \(a < c\) (as integers) and \(c\) precedes \(a\) in the poset, then, for all \(b\) such that \(a < b < c\), \(b\) precedes \(a\).

We use the word “precedes” here to distinguish the poset order and the natural order on numbers. “Precedes” means “is smaller than with respect to the poset structure”; this does not imply a covering relation.

Interval-posets of size \(n\) are in bijection with intervals of the Tamari lattice of binary trees of size \(n\). Specifically, if \(P\) is an interval-poset of size \(n\), then the set of linear extensions of \(P\) (as permutations in \(S_n\)) is an interval in the right weak order (see permutohedron_lequal()), and is in fact the preimage of an interval in the Tamari lattice (of binary trees of size \(n\)) under the operation which sends a permutation to its right-to-left binary search tree (binary_search_tree() with the left_to_right variable set to False) without its labelling.

INPUT:

size – an integer, the size of the interval-posets (number of vertices)
relations – a list (or tuple) of pairs (a,b) (themselves lists or tuples), each representing a relation of the form ‘\(a\) precedes \(b\)‘ in the poset.
check – (default: True) whether to check the interval-poset condition or not.

Warning

The relations input can be a list or tuple, but not an iterator (nor should its entries be iterators).

NOTATION:

Here and in the following, the signs \(<\) and \(>\) always refer to the natural ordering on integers, whereas the word “precedes” refers to the order of the interval-poset. “Minimal” and “maximal” refer to the natural ordering on integers.

The increasing relations of an interval-poset \(P\) mean the pairs \((a, b)\) of elements of \(P\) such that \(a < b\) as integers and \(a\) precedes \(b\) in \(P\). The initial forest of \(P\) is the poset obtained by imposing (only) the increasing relations on the ground set of \(P\). It is a sub-interval poset of \(P\), and is a forest with its roots on top. This forest is usually given the structure of a planar forest by ordering brother nodes by their labels; it then has the property that if its nodes are traversed in post-order (see :meth:~sage.combinat.abstract_tree.AbstractTree.post_order_traversal`, and traverse the trees of the forest from left to right as well), then the labels encountered are \(1, 2, \ldots, n\) in this order.

The decreasing relations of an interval-poset \(P\) mean the pairs \((a, b)\) of elements of \(P\) such that \(b < a\) as integers and \(a\) precedes \(b\) in \(P\). The final forest of \(P\) is the poset obtained by imposing (only) the decreasing relations on the ground set of \(P\). It is a sub-interval poset of \(P\), and is a forest with its roots on top. This forest is usually given the structure of a planar forest by ordering brother nodes by their labels; it then has the property that if its nodes are traversed in pre-order (see pre_order_traversal(), and traverse the trees of the forest from left to right as well), then the labels encountered are \(1, 2, \ldots, n\) in this order.

EXAMPLES:

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(0,[])

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(3,[(3,4)])
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: The relations do not correspond to the size of the poset.

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(2,[(2,1),(1,2)])
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: The graph is not directed acyclic

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(3,[(1,3)])

...
ValueError: This does not satisfy the Tamari interval-poset condition.

It is also possible to transform a poset directly into an interval-poset:

sage: TIP = TamariIntervalPosets()
sage: p = Poset( ([1,2,3], [(1,2)]))
sage: TIP(p)
The tamari interval of size 3 induced by relations [(1, 2)]
sage: TIP(Poset({1: []}))
The tamari interval of size 1 induced by relations []

[[., [[., [., .]], .]],
 [[., [., [., .]]], .],
 [., [[[., .], .], .]],
 [[., [[., .], .]], .]]
sage: set(TamariIntervalPoset(4,[]).binary_trees()) == set(BinaryTrees(4))
True

complement()¶

Return the complement of the interval-poset self.

If \(P\) is a Tamari interval-poset of size \(n\), then the complement of \(P\) is defined as the interval-poset \(Q\) whose base set is \([n] = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}\) (just as for \(P\)), but whose order relation has \(a\) precede \(b\) if and only if \(n + 1 - a\) precedes \(n + 1 - b\) in \(P\).

In terms of the Tamari lattice, the complement is the symmetric of self. It is formed from the left-right symmeterized of the binary trees of the interval (switching left and right subtrees, see left_right_symmetry()). In particular, initial intervals are sent to final intervals and vice-versa.

EXAMPLES:

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(3, [(2, 1), (3, 1)]).complement()
The tamari interval of size 3 induced by relations [(1, 3), (2, 3)]
sage: TamariIntervalPoset(0, []).complement()

sage: ip.contains_binary_tree(BinaryTree([[None,[None,[]]],None]))
True
sage: ip.contains_binary_tree(BinaryTree([None,[[[],None],None]]))

True
sage: all([ip.contains_dyck_word(bt) for bt in ip.dyck_words()])
True

contains_interval(other)¶

Return whether the interval represented by other is contained in self as an interval of the Tamari lattice.

In terms of interval-posets, it means that all relations of self are relations of other.

INPUT:

other – an interval-poset

EXAMPLES:

sage: ip1 = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(2,3),(4,3)])
sage: ip2 = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(2,3)])
sage: ip2.contains_interval(ip1)
True
sage: ip3 = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(2,1)])
sage: ip2.contains_interval(ip3)
False
sage: ip4 = TamariIntervalPoset(3,[(2,3)])
sage: ip2.contains_interval(ip4)
False

decreasing_children(v)¶

Return the children of v in the final forest of self.

sage: ip.decreasing_children(1)
[]

decreasing_cover_relations()¶

Return the cover relations of the final forest of self (the poset formed by keeping only the relations of the form \(a\) precedes \(b\) with \(a > b\)).

The final forest of self is a forest with its roots being on top. It is also called the decreasing poset of self.

Warning

This method computes the cover relations of the final forest. This is not identical with the cover relations of self which happen to be decreasing!

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(3,2),(2,4),(3,4)]).increasing_cover_relations()
[(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 4)]

[(1, 2), (2, 3)]

increasing_parent(v)¶

Return the vertex parent of v in the initial forest of self.

This is the lowest (as integer!) vertex \(b > v\) such that \(v\) precedes \(b\). If there is no such vertex (that is, \(v\) is an increasing root), then None is returned.

INPUT:

v – an integer representing a vertex of self (between 1 and size)

True

OUTPUT:

The list of all roots of the initial forest of self, in decreasing order.

sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(6,[(3,2),(4,3),(5,2),(6,5),(1,2),(3,5),(4,5)]); ip
The tamari interval of size 6 induced by relations [(1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 5), (6, 5), (5, 2), (4, 3), (3, 2)]

[6, 5, 2]
sage: ip.initial_forest().increasing_roots()
[6, 5, 2]

initial_forest()¶

Return the initial forest of self, i.e., the interval-poset formed from only the increasing relations of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(3,2),(2,4),(3,4)]).initial_forest()
The tamari interval of size 4 induced by relations [(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 4)]
sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(2,3)])
sage: ip.initial_forest() == ip
True

insertion(i)¶

Return the Tamari insertion of an integer \(i\) into the interval-poset self.

If \(P\) is a Tamari interval-poset of size \(n\) and \(i\) is an integer with \(1 \leq i \leq n+1\), then the Tamari insertion of \(i\) into \(P\) is defined as the Tamari interval-poset of size \(n+1\) which corresponds to the interval \([C_1, C_2]\) on the Tamari lattice, where the binary trees \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are defined as follows: We write the interval-poset \(P\) as \([B_1, B_2]\) for two binary trees \(B_1\) and \(B_2\). We label the vertices of each of these two trees with the integers \(1, 2, \ldots, i-1, i+1, i+2, \ldots, n+1\) in such a way that the trees are binary search trees (this labelling is unique). Then, we insert \(i\) into each of these trees (in the way as explained in binary_search_insert()). The shapes of the resulting two trees are denoted \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).

An alternative way to construct the insertion of \(i\) into \(P\) is by relabeling each vertex \(u\) of \(P\) satisfying \(u \geq i\) (as integers) as \(u+1\), and then adding a vertex \(i\) which should precede \(i-1\) and \(i+1\).

Todo

To study this, it would be more natural to define interval-posets on arbitrary ordered sets rather than just on \(\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}\).

If self represents the interval \([T_1,T_2]\) of the Tamari lattice, this returns intervals \([T',T_2]\) with \(T'\) following one longest chain between \(T_1\) and \(T_2\).

To obtain a longest chain, we use the Tamari inversions of self. The elements of the chain are obtained by adding one by one the relations \((b,a)\) from each Tamari inversion \((a,b)\) to self, where the Tamari inversions are taken in lexicographic order.

sage: ip.min_linear_extension()
[1, 2, 4, 3]
sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(6,[(3,2),(4,3),(5,2),(6,5),(1,2),(4,5)])

sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(3,[])
sage: ip.number_of_tamari_inversions()

poset()¶

Return self as a labelled poset.

An interval-poset is indeed constructed from a labelled poset which is stored internally. This method allows to access the poset and all the associated methods.

sage: pos = ip.poset(); pos
Finite poset containing 4 elements

set_latex_options(D)¶

line_width – (default: 1*``tikz_scale``) value representing the line width
color_decreasing – (default: red) the color for decreasing relations
color_increasing – (default: blue) the color for increasing relations
hspace – (default: 1) the difference between horizontal coordinates of adjacent vertices
vspace – (default: 1) the difference between vertical coordinates of adjacent vertices

INPUT:

D – a dictionary with a list of latex parameters to change

EXAMPLES:

sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(2,4),(3,4),(2,1),(3,1)])
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'red'
sage: ip.set_latex_options({"color_decreasing":'green'})
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'green'
sage: ip.set_latex_options({"color_increasing":'black'})
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_increasing"]
'black'

To change the default options for all interval-posets, use the parent’s global latex options:

sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(2,4),(3,4),(2,1),(3,1)])
sage: ip2 = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(2,3)])
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'red'
sage: ip2.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'red'
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.global_options(latex_color_decreasing='green')
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'green'
sage: ip2.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'green'

Next we set a local latex option and show the global does not override it:

sage: ip.set_latex_options({"color_decreasing": 'black'})
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'black'
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.global_options(latex_color_decreasing='blue')
sage: ip.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'black'
sage: ip2.latex_options()["color_decreasing"]
'blue'
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.global_options.reset()

size()¶

EXAMPLES:

sage: TamariIntervalPoset(3,[(2,1),(3,1)]).size()
3

sub_poset(start, end)¶

Return the renormalized sub-poset of self consisting solely of integers from start (inclusive) to end (not inclusive).

“Renormalized” means that these integers are relabelled \(1,2,\ldots,k\) in the obvious way (i.e., by subtracting start - 1).

INPUT:

start – an integer, the starting vertex (inclusive)
end – an integer, the ending vertex (not inclusive)

EXAMPLES:

sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(6,[(3,2),(4,3),(5,2),(6,5),(1,2),(3,5),(4,5)]); ip
The tamari interval of size 6 induced by relations [(1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 5), (6, 5), (5, 2), (4, 3), (3, 2)]

sage: ip.sub_poset(1,7) == ip
True
sage: ip.sub_poset(1,1)
The tamari interval of size 0 induced by relations []

tamari_inversions()¶

Return the Tamari inversions of self. A Tamari inversion is a pair of vertices \((a,b)' with `a < b\) such that:

the decreasing parent of \(b\) is strictly smaller than \(a\) (or does not exist), and
the increasing parent of \(a\) is strictly bigger than \(b\) (or does not exist).

“Smaller” and “bigger” refer to the numerical values of the elements, not to the poset order.

This method returns the list of all Tamari inversions in lexicographic order.

The number of Tamari inversions is the length of the longest chain of the Tamari interval represented by self.

Indeed, when an interval consists of just one binary tree, it has no inversion. One can also prove that if a Tamari interval \(I' = [T_1', T_2']\) is a proper subset of a Tamari interval \(I = [T_1, T_2]\), then the inversion number of \(I'\) is strictly lower than the inversion number of \(I\). And finally, by adding the relation \((b,a)\) to the interval-poset where \((a,b)\) is the first inversion of \(I\) in lexicographic order, one reduces the inversion number by exactly \(1\).

static initial_forest(element)¶

Return the inital forest of a binary tree, an interval-poset or a Dyck word.

An initial forest is an interval-poset corresponding to an initial interval of the Tamari lattice, i.e., containing only increasing relations.

It can be constructed from a binary tree by its binary search tree labeling with the rule: \(a\) precedes \(b\) in the initial forest iff \(a\) is in the left subtree of \(b\) in the binary search tree.

INPUT:

element – a binary tree, a Dyck word or an interval-poset

EXAMPLES:

sage: ip = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(2,3),(4,3)])
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(ip)
The tamari interval of size 4 induced by relations [(1, 2), (2, 3)]

with binary trees:

sage: bt = BinaryTree(); bt
.
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(bt)
The tamari interval of size 0 induced by relations []
sage: bt = BinaryTree([]); bt
[., .]
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(bt)
The tamari interval of size 1 induced by relations []
sage: bt = BinaryTree([[],None]); bt
[[., .], .]
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(bt)
The tamari interval of size 2 induced by relations [(1, 2)]
sage: bt = BinaryTree([None,[]]); bt
[., [., .]]
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(bt)
The tamari interval of size 2 induced by relations []
sage: bt = BinaryTree([[],[]]); bt
[[., .], [., .]]
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(bt)
The tamari interval of size 3 induced by relations [(1, 2)]
sage: bt = BinaryTree([[None,[[],None]],[]]); bt
[[., [[., .], .]], [., .]]
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(bt)
The tamari interval of size 5 induced by relations [(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 4)]

from Dyck words:

sage: dw = DyckWord([1,0])
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(dw)
The tamari interval of size 1 induced by relations []
sage: dw = DyckWord([1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0])
sage: TamariIntervalPosets.initial_forest(dw)
The tamari interval of size 5 induced by relations [(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 4)]

le(el1, el2)¶

Poset stucture on the set of interval-posets through interval containment.

Return whether the interval represented by el1 is contained in the interval represented by el2.

INPUT:

el1 – an interval-poset
el2 – an interval-poset

EXAMPLES:

sage: ip1 = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(2,3),(4,3)])
sage: ip2 = TamariIntervalPoset(4,[(1,2),(2,3)])
sage: TamariIntervalPosets().le(ip1,ip2)
True
sage: TamariIntervalPosets().le(ip2,ip1)
False

class sage.combinat.interval_posets.TamariIntervalPosets_all¶

Bases: sage.sets.disjoint_union_enumerated_sets.DisjointUnionEnumeratedSets, sage.combinat.interval_posets.TamariIntervalPosets

The enumerated set of all Tamari interval-posets.

Element¶: alias of TamariIntervalPoset

class sage.combinat.interval_posets.TamariIntervalPosets_size(size)¶

Bases: sage.combinat.interval_posets.TamariIntervalPosets

The enumerated set of interval-posets of a given size.

TESTS:

sage: from sage.combinat.interval_posets import TamariIntervalPosets_size
sage: for i in xrange(6): TestSuite(TamariIntervalPosets_size(i)).run()

cardinality()¶

The cardinality of self. That is, the number of interval-posets of size \(n\).

The formula was given in [ChapTamari08]:

\[\frac{2(4n+1)!}{(n+1)!(3n+2)!} = \frac{2}{n(n+1)} \binom{4n+1}{n-1}.\]

EXAMPLES:

sage: [TamariIntervalPosets(i).cardinality() for i in range(6)]
[1, 1, 3, 13, 68, 399]

element_class()¶

TESTS:

sage: S = TamariIntervalPosets(3)
sage: S.element_class
<class 'sage.combinat.interval_posets.TamariIntervalPosets_all_with_category.element_class'>
sage: S.first().__class__ == TamariIntervalPosets().first().__class__
True
