Adjunctions on the Lattice of Dendrograms

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 7877))

Abstract

Dendrograms are used in hierarchical classification. They also are useful structures in image processing, for segmentation or filtering purposes. The structure of a hierarchy is univocally expressed by a ultrametric ecart. The hierarchies form a complete lattice on which two adjunctions will be defined.
