Abstract
Dismantling allows for the removal of elements of a set, or in our case lattice, without disturbing the remaining structure. In this paper we have extended the notion of dismantling by single elements to the dismantling by intervals in a lattice. We utilize theory from Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to show that lattices dismantled by intervals correspond to closed subrelations in the respective formal context, and that there exists a unique kernel with respect to dismantling by intervals. Furthermore, we show that dismantling intervals can be identified directly in the formal context utilizing a characterization via arrow relations and provide an algorithm to compute all dismantling intervals.
