We introduce a partial order structure on the set of interval orders of a given size, and prove that such a structure is in fact a lattice. We also provide a way to compute meet and join inside this lattice. Finally, we show that, if we…

A finite ranked poset is called a symmetric chain order if it can be written as a disjoint union of rank-symmetric, saturated chains. If $P$ is any symmetric chain order, we prove that $P^n/\mathbb{Z}_n$ is also a symmetric chain order,…

We present a matrix-theoretic approach for studying and enumerating finite posets through their incidence representations, referred to as poset matrices. Naturally labelled posets are encoded as Boolean lower triangular matrices, allowing a…

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…

Young's partition lattice $L(m,n)$ consists of unordered partitions having $m$ parts where each part is at most $n$. Using methods from complex algebraic geometry, R. Stanley proved that $L(m,n)$ is rank-symmetric, unimodal, and strongly…

We show that every poset P=(P,\le) satisfying the Ascending Chain Condition can be isomorphically embedded into the poset of all mappings from P to the set A(P) of all antichains of P equipped with a certain partial order relation. This…

We study the partial orderings of the form $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}), \subset \rangle $, where ${\mathbb X}$ is a binary relational structure with the connectivity components isomorphic to a strongly connected structure ${\mathbb…

Stanley introduced and studied two lattice polytopes, the order polytope and chain polytope, associated to a finite poset. Recently Ohsugi and Tsuchiya introduce an enriched version of them, called the enriched order polytope and enriched…

In this paper, we investigate the notion of partition of a finite partially ordered set (poset, for short). We will define three different notions of partition of a poset, namely, monotone, regular, and open partition. For each of these…

In this paper we introduce and study the poset of equivalence classes of subgroups of a finite group $G$, induced by the isomorphism relation. This contains the well-known lattice of solitary subgroups of $G$. We prove that in several…

Poset-theoretic generalizations of set-theoretic committee constructions are presented. The structure of the corresponding subposets is described. Sequences of irreducible fractions associated to the principal order ideals of finite bounded…

We introduce the priority lattice, a structure arising from the priority search algorithm on rooted trees and forests. We prove bijectively that its maximal chains are labeled by parking functions, and that the maximal chains of its…

For any two finite posets $P$ and $Q$, let $\Hom(P,Q)$ be the hom-poset consisting of all order preserving maps from $P$ to $Q$, and $J(Q)$ the collection of all order ideals of $Q$. In this paper, we study some basic properties of the…

We prove a simple formula for arbitrary cluster variables in the marked surfaces model. As part of the formula, we associate a labeled poset to each tagged arc, such that the associated $F$-polynomial is a weighted sum of order ideals. Each…

Given a nonempty finite multiset $S$ of positive integers, we wish to find a partially ordered set $P$ of minimal cardinality such that the multiset of cardinalities of all maximal chains in $P$ equals $S$. This paper establishes upper and…

Let $(\mathcal{P},\leqslant)$ be a finite poset. Define the numbers $a_1,a_2,\ldots$ (respectively, $c_1,c_2,\ldots$) so that $a_1+\ldots+a_k$ (respectively, $c_1+\ldots+c_k$) is the maximal number of elements of $\mathcal{P}$ which may be…

We characterize numerical semigroups for which the poset of its ideal class monoid is a lattice, and study the irreducible elements of such a lattice with respect to union, intersection, infimum and supremum.

Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…

In 1986 Stanley associated to a poset the order polytope. The close interplay between its combinatorial and geometric properties makes the order polytope an object of tremendous interest. Double posets were introduced in 2011 by Malvenuto…

We introduce a new partial order on the set of all antichains of a fixed size in any poset. When applied to minuscule posets, these partial orders give rise to distributive lattices that appear in the branching rules for minuscule…
