Greedy balanced pairs in $N$-free ordered sets

Combinatorics 2020-10-13 v2

Abstract

An α\alpha-greedy balanced pair in an ordered set P=(V,)P=(V,\leq) is a pair (x,y)(x,y) of elements of VV such that the proportion of greedy linear extensions of PP that put xx before yy among all greedy linear extensions is in the real interval [α,1α][\alpha, 1-\alpha]. We prove that every NN-free ordered set which is not totally ordered has a 12\frac{1}{2}-greedy balanced pair.
