Partitions Versus Sets : A Case of Duality
Laurent Lyaudet 1, Frédéric Mazoit 2, Stephan Thomasse 3
(2010)

In a recent paper, Amini et al. introduced a general framework to prove duality theorems between tree decompositions and their dual combinatorial object. They unify all known ad-hoc proofs in one duality theorem based on submodular partition functions. This general theorem remains however a bit technical and relies on this particular submodularity property. Instead of partition functions, we propose here a simple combinatorial property of set of partitions which also gives these duality results. Our approach is both simpler, and a little bit more general.
