A note on intersections of isotone clones

We show that for every k > 3 there exists two chains P¡, Pi over a base set A, |A| = k such that the only isotone functions Pi and Pi have in common are the constants and projections. This settles a question raised by Demetrovics, Miyakawa, Rosenberg, Simovici and Stojmenovié. We prove a related...

Description
Summary:We show that for every k > 3 there exists two chains P¡, Pi over a base set A, |A| = k such that the only isotone functions Pi and Pi have in common are the constants and projections. This settles a question raised by Demetrovics, Miyakawa, Rosenberg, Simovici and Stojmenovié. We prove a related result which generalizes the observation that two 3-element chains over the same ground set always admit a nontrivial common order preserving operation.
