Linear extensions of finite posets

Combinatorics 2025-06-05 v2 Discrete Mathematics

Abstract

We give a broad survey of inequalities for the number of linear extensions of finite posets. We review many examples, discuss open problems, and present recent results on the subject. We emphasize the bounds, the equality conditions of the inequalities, and the computational complexity aspects of the results.
