Rival and Zaguia showed that the antichain cutsets of a finite Boolean lattice are exactly the level sets. We show that a similar characterization of antichain cutsets holds for any strongly connected poset of locally finite height. As a…
We show that in a rank supersolvable lattice that is graded by a bounded real interval, any antichain cutset is a level set for some appropriately constructed grading. As a consequence, given an antichain cutset in any of the measurable…
Antichains of a finite bounded poset are assigned antichains playing a role analogous to that played by blockers in the Boolean lattice of all subsets of a finite set. Some properties of lattices of generalized blockers are discussed.
Meet-distributive lattices form an intriguing class of lattices, because they are precisely the lattices obtainable from a closure operator with the so-called anti-exchange property. Moreover, meet-distributive lattices are join…
To each lattice simplex $\Delta$ we associate a poset encoding the additive structure of lattice points in the fundamental parallelepiped for $\Delta$. When this poset is an antichain, we say $\Delta$ is antichain. To each partition…
In this paper, the class of quasicomplemented residuated lattices is introduced and investigated, as a subclass of residuated lattices in which any prime filter not containing any dense element is a minimal prime filter. The notion of…
A lattice L is slim if it is finite and the set of its join-irreducible elements contains no three-element antichain. Slim, semimodular lattices were previously characterized by G. Cz\'edli and E.T. Schmidt as the duals of the lattices…
We characterize supersolvable lattices in terms of a certain modular type relation. McNamara and Thomas earlier characterized this class of lattices as those graded lattices having a maximal chain that consists of left-modular elements. Our…
Motivated by applications to information retrieval, we study the lattice of antichains of finite intervals of a locally finite, totally ordered set. Intervals are ordered by reverse inclusion; the order between antichains is induced by the…
A structural condition is given for finite maximal antichains in the homomorphism order of relational structures to have the splitting property. It turns out that non-splitting antichains appear only at the bottom of the order. Moreover, we…
The two closely related Lorentz-invariant partial orders of space-time are distinguished with respect to the existence of antichain cutsets and the possibility of grading. World lines of particles with or without mass are the maximal chains…
The following article treats about convex geometries which are lower semi-modular and join semi-distributive lattices. Firstly, it is shown that there is a class $K$ of infinite convex geometries which can be build out of finite ones by…
The Chermak-Delgado lattice of a finite group is a dual, modular sublattice of the subgroup lattice of the group. This paper considers groups with a quasi-antichain interval in the Chermak-Delgado lattice, ultimately proving that if there…
Intervals in binary or n-ary relations or other discrete structures generalize the concept of interval in a linearly ordered set. Join-irreducible partitions into intervals are characterized in the lattice of all interval decompositions of…
In this paper we study the dense elements and the radical of a residuated lattice, residuated lattices with lifting Boolean center, simple, local, semilocal and quasi-local residuated lattices. BL-algebras have lifting Boolean center;…
For L a finite lattice, let C(L) denote the set of pairs g = (g_0,g_1) such that g_0 is a lower cover of g_1 and order it as follows: g <= d iff g_0 <= d_0, g_1 <= d_1, but not g_1 <= d_0. Let C(L,g) denote the connected component of g in…
We define a quasimodule Q over a bounded lattice L in an analogous way as a module over a semiring is defined. The essential difference is that L need not be distributive. Also for quasimodules there can be introduced the concepts of inner…
Recent results of Bucciarelli show that the semilattice of degrees of parallelism of first-order boolean functions in PCF has both infinite chains and infinite antichains. By considering a simple subclass of Sieber's sequentiality…
We study maximal sublattices of finite semidistributive lattices via their complements. We focus on the conjecture that such complements are always intervals, which is known to be true for bounded lattices. Since the class of…
We generalize Kada's definable strengthening of Dilworth's characterization of the class of quasi-orders admitting an antichain of a given finite cardinality.
