2 Dedicated to D. Cvetković at the occasion of his 75th birthday and quasigroup functional equations

3 are algebras (Q;, /, \) satisfying: xy/y x x\xy y (x/y)y x x(x\y) y and quasigroup functional equations

4 are algebras (Q;, /, \) satisfying: xy/y x x\xy y (x/y)y x x(x\y) y Best known quasigroups are groups: x\y x 1 y x/y x y 1 and quasigroup functional equations

5 in algebra: in combinatorics: Latin squares in geometry: 3 nets and quasigroup functional equations

6 Homotopy / isotopy Let (Q;, /, \) and (R;, /, \) be two quasigroups. Homotopy is a triple of functions f, g, h : Q R such that f (x y) = g(x) h(y) A homotopy is an isotopy if all three components are bijective. Homotopy (isotopy) is a generalization of homomorphism (isomorphism). and quasigroup functional equations

10 Generalized quadratic quasigroup functional equations Operation symbols always represent quasigroups (quasigroup functional equations) Every operation symbol appears only once in the equation (generalized equations) Every (object) variable appears exactly twice in the equation (quadratic equations) and quasigroup functional equations

11 Generalized associativity and bisymmetry In the paper: J. Aczél, V. D. Belousov, M. Hosszú: Generalized associativity and bisymmetry on quasigroups, Acta. Math. Acad. Sci. Hung. 11, (1960). the following two theorems are proved: and quasigroup functional equations

12 Generalized associativity Theorem. A general solution of the functional equation of generalized associativity: is given by: where: A 1 (A 2 (x, y), z) A 3 (x, A 4 (y, z)) A i (x, y) = α i (λ i x + ϱ i y) (i = 1,..., 4) 1 + is an arbitrary group 2 α i, λ i, ϱ i (i = 1,..., 4) are arbitrary permutations such that: α 1 = α 3 = Id α 2 = λ 1 1 α 4 = ϱ 1 3 λ 2 = λ 3 ϱ 2 = λ 4 ϱ 1 = ϱ 4. and quasigroup functional equations

13 Generalized bisymmetry Theorem. A general solution of the functional equation of generalized bisymmetry: is given by: where: A 1 (A 2 (x, y), A 3 (u, v)) A 4 (A 5 (x, u), A 6 (y, v)) A i (x, y) = α i (λ i x + ϱ i y) (i = 1,..., 6) 1 + is an arbitrary Abelian group 2 α i, λ i, ϱ i (i = 1,..., 6) are arbitrary permutations such that: α 1 = α 4 = Id α 2 = λ 1 1 α 3 = ϱ 1 1 α 5 = λ 1 4 α 6 = ϱ 1 4 λ 2 = λ 5 ϱ 2 = λ 6 λ 3 = ϱ 5 ϱ 3 = ϱ 6. and quasigroup functional equations

14 Serbian group S. B. Prešić formed the Serbian group J. Ušan generalized n ary associativity S. Milić 3 sorted quasigroups and GD groupoids Z. Stojaković infinitary quasigroups B. Alimpić solved generalized balanced equations A. Krapež solved generalized n ary balanced equations S. Krstić solved quadratic equations using graphs and quasigroup functional equations

15 S. Krstić In his PhD thesis S. Krstić proved: Theorem Generalized quadratic quasigroup functional equations Eq and Eq are parastrophically equivalent iff their Krstić graphs Γ(Eq) and Γ(Eq ) are isomorphic. and quasigroup functional equations

16 Definitions Krstić graphs are connected cubic multigraphs. and quasigroup functional equations

17 Definitions Parastrophic equivalence is defined by example: Functional equations of generalized associativity: and generalized transitivity: A(B(x, y), z) C(x, D(y, z)) A(B(x, y), F (y, u)) C(x, u) are parastrophically equivalent because D = F 1 i.e. they are parastrophes of each other. and quasigroup functional equations

18 Definitions For a generalized quadratic equation Eq, the Krstić graph Γ(Eq) is given by: The vertices of Γ(Eq) are operation symbols from Eq The edges of Γ(Eq) are subterms of Eq If F (t 1, t 2 ) is a subterm of Eq then the vertex F is incident to edges t 1, t 2, F (t 1, t 2 ) and no others. and quasigroup functional equations

19 Example: Krstić graph of an equation A i A B B C D x C u D x y z u z z y v u x v w w y w G H J G H J v F I F I E (a) E (b) Figure: (a) The trees of terms s and t of the equation s = t. (b) The graph Γ(s = t) of the equation s = t ( red vertex, blue vertex). and quasigroup functional equations

20 Krstić theorem again Theorem Generalized quadratic quasigroup functional equations Eq and Eq are parastrophically equivalent iff their Krstić graphs Γ(Eq) and Γ(Eq ) are isomorphic. and quasigroup functional equations

21 Example There are exactly 100 generalized quadratic equations parastrophically equivalent to generalized associativity. and quasigroup functional equations

22 Example There are exactly 100 generalized quadratic equations parastrophically equivalent to generalized associativity. We need to augment properties of Krstić graphs so that such graph uniquely defines corresponding equation. and quasigroup functional equations

23 A special graph is a structure G = (V, E; I, i, α, ω) where: (i) the triple G = (V, E; I ) is an underlying Krstić (multi)graph of G; (ii) i E is a unique designated edge; (iii) α : V {red, blue} is a vertex (bi)coloring; (iv) ω is a bidirection of edges defined below. and quasigroup functional equations

24 Bidirection Bidirection is a mapping ω : uv {(u, α), (v, δ)} where α, δ {0, 1, 2}. The numbers correspond to direction of edges at each end: the incoming direction (0), and two outcomming directions (1,2). incoming end outcoming ends Figure: Incoming and outcoming ends of edges. and quasigroup functional equations

25 Bidirection Bidirected graphs were defined first in: J. Edmonds, E. L. Johnson: Matching: A Well Solved Class of Integer Linear Programs, in the book: M. Junger, G. Reinelt, G. Rinaldi (eds.): Combinatorial Optimization Eureka, You Shrink!, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2570, Springer Berlin, Heidelberg (2003) but we have edges with two different types of outcomming ends. and quasigroup functional equations

26 Bidirection With such definition, at every vertex we have situation like this: 0 v 1 2 deg(v) = 3 indeg(v) = 1 outdeg(v) = 2 Figure: The degrees of a vertex. and quasigroup functional equations

27 Result Theorem Generalized quadratic quasigroup functional equations Eq and Eq are logically equivalent iff their special graphs G(Eq) and G(Eq ) are isomorphic. and quasigroup functional equations

28 Example: special graph of an equation A i A B B C D x C u D x y z u z z y v u x v w w y w G H J G H J v F I F I E (a) E (b) Figure: (a) The trees of terms s and t of the equation s = t. (b) The graph Γ(s = t) of the equation s = t ( red vertex, blue vertex). and quasigroup functional equations
