Poset algebras over well quasi-ordered posets
Abstract
A new class of partial order-types, class is defined and investigated here. A poset is in the class iff the free poset algebra is generated by a better quasi-order that is included in the free lattice . We prove that if is any well quasi-ordering, then is well founded, and is a countable union of well quasi-orderings. We prove that the class is contained in the class of well quasi-ordered sets. We prove that is preserved under homomorphic image, finite products, and lexicographic sum over better quasi-ordered index sets. We prove also that every countable well quasi-ordered set is in . We do not know, however if the class of well quasi-ordered sets is contained in . Additional results concern homomorphic images of posets algebras.
