[Tex/LaTex] How to draw a diagram like the one in this picture

diagrams

Is such a diagram called classification diagram?
Is there any package in LaTeX which helps in drawing it directly like parent child diagrams?

        \path [line] (vuoto2)   -|    (fix);

    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Edit: Substituting

\node [below=0.5cm of deter]                    (vuoto1)   {};

and

\node [below=0.5cm of per]                      (vuoto2)   {};

with

\coordinate [below=0.5cm of deter]                    (vuoto1)   {};

and

\coordinate [below=0.5cm of per]                      (vuoto2)   {};

yields

[Tex/LaTex] How to draw Young diagrams in LyX

I’m not familiar with Young tableaux and diagrams, but I think the package ytableau is better and more fully developed than youngtab.

In order to use it in LyX you need:

Add \usepackage{ytableau} in the preamble (Document → Settings… → LaTeX Preamble (last one)).
Wherever you want to add a Young tableau use ERT (LaTeX inside LyX, Ctrl+l shortcut) and add whatever code you want (ytableau documentation is available here).

Maybe there is a more LyXish way to do that. I don’t use LyX.

Example:

I hope that helps you ☺

[Tex/LaTex] How to draw this smart diagram

As Torbjørn pointed, there is limited support for add items (modules in manual jargon) through the additions library and the \smartdiagramadd command. The main problem is that you can set only some global options for the added items.

This mean that individually you can control only the relative positions with respect main items (not with respect arrows) and in some extent the style of connection (basically, right, left or bidirectional arrows with/without head/tails, or none), but unlike show your image, you cannot set (as far I know) additional items with more than one type of font color, for instance. A minimal example of what you can / cannot obtain:

mwe

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{smartdiagram}
\usesmartdiagramlibrary{additions}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}

\begin{document}

\smartdiagramset{border color=none,
uniform color list=teal!70!black for 3 items,
module shape= ellipse, 
module minimum height=2.5cm,
circular distance=4cm,
font=\Huge\sffamily\bfseries, 
text width=5em,
text color=white,
arrow line width=8pt,
additions={
additional item font=\sffamily\bfseries\color{red!50},
additional item offset=3em,
additional item height=0em,
additional item text width=5em,
additional arrow color=teal!40,
additional arrow line width=4pt,
}}

\smartdiagramadd[circular diagram:clockwise]{B,C,A}{
right of module1/Text 1 without arrow, 
above of module1/Text 2,
left of module3/Text 3,
above left of module3/Text 4,
below left of module2/{Something}}
\smartdiagramconnect{-}{module1/additional-module2}
\smartdiagramconnect{<-}{module3/additional-module3}
\smartdiagramconnect{<->}{module3/additional-module4}
\smartdiagramconnect{->}{module2/additional-module5}

\end{document}
