Abstract

The characterization of the finite minimal automorphic posets of width three is still an open problem. Niederle has shown that this task can be reduced to the characterization of the nice sections of width three which have a non-trivial tower of nice sections as retract. In our article, we develop a recursive approach for the determination of those nice sections of width three which have a 4-crown stack as retract. We apply the approach on a sub-class N2\mathfrak{N}_2 of nice sections of width three and determine all posets in N2\mathfrak{N}_2 with height up to six which have a 4-crown stack as retract. For each integer n2n \geq 2, the class N2\mathfrak{N}_2 contains 2n22^{n-2} different isomorphism types of posets of height nn.
