In general, representations of interval orders may use an arbitrary set of interval lengths. We can define subclasses of interval orders by restricting the allowable lengths of intervals. Motivated by a recent paper of Keller, Trenk, and…
A poset $P = (X,\prec)$ has an interval representation if each $x \in X$ can be assigned a real interval $I_x$ so that $x \prec y$ in $P$ if and only if $I_x$ lies completely to the left of $I_y$. Such orders are called \emph{interval…
Rabinovitch showed in 1978 that the interval orders having a representation consisting of only closed unit intervals have order dimension at most 3. This article shows that the same dimension bound applies to two other classes of posets:…
S.Janson [Poset limits and exchangeable random posets, Combinatorica 31 (2011), 529--563] defined limits of finite posets in parallel to the emerging theory of limits of dense graphs. We prove that each poset limit can be represented as a…
In this paper we combine ideas from tolerance orders with recent work on OC interval orders. We consider representations of posets by unit intervals $I_v$ in which the interval endpoints ($L(v)$ and $R(v)$) may be open or closed as well as…
We develop a theory of limits of finite posets in close analogy to the recent theory of graph limits. In particular, we study representations of the limits by functions of two variables on a probability space, and connections to…
A poset $P = (X,\prec)$ is a unit OC interval order if there exists a representation that assigns an open or closed real interval $I(x)$ of unit length to each $x \in P$ so that $x \prec y$ in $P$ precisely when each point of $I(x)$ is less…
A permutation $\sigma$ describing the relative orders of the first $n$ iterates of a point $x$ under a self-map $f$ of the interval $I=[0,1]$ is called an \emph{order pattern}. For fixed $f$ and $n$, measuring the points $x\in I$ (according…
A linear-interval order is the intersection of a linear order and an interval order. For this class of orders, several structural results have been known. This paper introduces a new subclass of linear-interval orders. We call a partial…
We study the reverse mathematics of interval orders. We establish the logical strength of the implications between various definitions of the notion of interval order. We also consider the strength of different versions of the…
We prove that the order of an ordered group is an interval order if and only if it is a semiorder. Next, we prove that every semiorder is isomorphic to a collection $\mathcal J$ of intervals of some totally ordered abelian group, these…
The interval poset of a permutation catalogues the intervals that appear in its one-line notation, according to set inclusion. We study this poset, describing its structural, characterizing, and enumerative properties.
Characterizations of finite sequences $\beta_{1}<\cdots<\beta_{n}$ representing expected values of order statistics from a random sample of size $n$ are given. As a by-product, a characterization of binomial mixtures, when the mixing random…
A poset $P= (X, \prec)$ has an interval representation if each $x \in X$ can be assigned a real interval $I_x$ so that $x \prec y$ in $P$ if and only if $I_x$ lies completely to the left of $I_y$. Such orders are called \emph{interval…
We consider a category of all finite partial orderings with quotient maps as arrows and construct a Fra\"iss\'e sequence in this category. Then we use commonly known relations between partial orders and lattices to construct a sequence of…
We prove a central limit theorem for a sequence of random variables whose means are ambiguous and vary in an unstructured way. Their joint distribution is described by a set of measures. The limit is (not the normal distribution and is)…
A causal set is a countably infinite poset in which every element is above finitely many others; causal sets are exactly the posets that have a linear extension with the order-type of the natural numbers -- we call such a linear extension a…
We consider the dimensions of finite type of representations of a partially ordered set, i.e. such that there is only finitely many isomorphism classes of representations of this dimension. We give a criterion for a dimension to be of…
We study semiorders induced by points drawn from a uniform random distribution. Of particular interest in this paper are the probabilities of generating specific semiorders and the equivalence classes they produce. We present a method for…
The bounds for absolute moments of order statistics are established. Let $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ be independent identically distributed real-valued random variables and let $X_{1:n}\le \dots \le X_{n:n}$ be the corresponding order statistics. The…
