    The Lattice structure of Chip Firing Games

    M.Latapy and H.D.Phan

    Abstract :
     In this paper, we study a famous discrete dynamical system, the Chip Firing Game, used as a model in physics, economics and computer science. We use order theory and show that the set of reachable states (i.e. the configuration space) of such a system started in any configuration is a lattice, which implies strong structural properties. The lattice structure of the configuration space of a dynamical system is of great interest since it implies convergence (and more) if the configuration space is finite. If it is infinite, this property implies another kind of convergence: all the configurations reachable from two given configurations are reachable from their infimum. In other words, there is a unique first configuration which is reachable from two given configurations. Moreover, the Chip Firing Game is a very general model, and we show how known models can be encoded as Chip Firing Games, and how some results about them can be deduced from this paper. Finally, we define a new model, which is a generalization of the Chip Firing Game, and about which many interesting questions arise.

    The Lattice of integer partitions and its infinite extension

    LIAFA Technical Report 99/23

    Abstract :
    In this paper, we use a simple discrete dynamical system to study the integers partitions and their lattice. The set of the reachable configurations equiped with the order induced by the transitions of the system is exactly the lattice of integer partitions equiped with the dominance ordering. We first explain how this lattice can be constructed, by showing its strong self-similarity property. Then, we define a natural extension of the system to infinity. Using a self-similar tree, we obtain an efficient coding of the obtained lattice. This approach gives an interesting recursive formula for the number of partitions of an integer, where no closed formula have ever been found. It also gives informations on special sets of partitions, such as length bounded partitions.

    Structure of some sand pile model

    M.Latapy, R.Mantaci, M.Morvan and H.D.Phan

    Abstract :
    SPM (Sand Pile Model) is a simple discrete dynamical system used in physics to represent granular objects. It is deeply related to integer partitions, and many other combinatorics problems, such as tilings or rewriting systems. The evolution of the system started with n stacked grains generates a lattice, denoted by SPM(n). We study here the structure of this lattice. We first explain how it can be constructed, by showing its strong self-similarity property. Then, we define SPM(infini), a natural extension of SPM when one starts with an infinite number of grains. Again, we give an efficient construction algorithm and a coding of this lattice using a self-similar tree. The two approaches give different recursive formulae for |SPM(n)|, where no closed formula have ever been found.

    Lattice structure and convergence of a Game of Cards

    Eric Goles - Michel Morvan -Ha Duong Phan

    Abstract :
    We study the dynamics the so-called Game of Cards by using tools developed in the context of discrete dynamical systems. We extend a result of Desel and of Huang (this last one in the context of distributed systems) who stated a necessary and sufficient condition for the game to converge. We precisely describe the structure of the set of configurations (that we show to be very closed to a lattice structure) and we state bounds for the convergence time.

    Sand piles and order structure of integer partitions

    Eric Goles - Michel Morvan - Ha Duong Phan

    Abstract :
    In this paper, we study the orders obtained by the general ized dynamics of the Sandpiles Model (SPM). We show that these orders are sub-lattices of $L_B$, lattice of integer partitions introduced in by Brylawski, and we deduce from that a characterization of their fixed point. We prove that these orders form an increasing sequence of lattices from $SPM$ to $L_B$. We then characterize longest paths in these lattices and give a formula describing their length.
