Unique inclusions of maximal C-clones in maximal clones
Abstract
C-clones are polymorphism sets of so-called clausal relations, a special type of relations on a finite domain, which first appeared in connection with constraint satisfaction problems in [Creignou et al. 2008]. We completely describe the relationship w.r.t. set inclusion between maximal C-clones and maximal clones. As a main result we obtain that for every maximal C-clone there exists exactly one maximal clone in which it is contained. A precise description of this unique maximal clone, as well as a corresponding completeness criterion for C-clones is given.
