A $(k,\ell)$-partition is a set partition which has $\ell$ blocks each of size $k$. Two uniform set partitions $P$ and $Q$ are said to be partially $t$-intersecting if there exist blocks $P_{i}$ in $P$ and $Q_{j}$ in $Q$ such that $\left|…

A `whole-part' theory is developed for a set of finite quantum systems $\Sigma (n)$ with variables in ${\mathbb Z}(n)$. The partial order `subsystem' is defined, by embedding various attributes of the system $\Sigma (m)$ (quantum states,…

Let M be a subset of {0, .., n} and F be a family of subsets of an n element set such that the size of A intersection B is in M for every A, B in F. Suppose that l is the maximum number of consecutive integers contained in M and n is…

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…

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…

A balanced pair in an ordered set $P=(V,\leq)$ is a pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $V$ such that the proportion of linear extensions of $P$ that put $x$ before $y$ is in the real interval $[1/3, 2/3]$. We define the notion of a good pair and…

Birkhoff's representation theorem for finite distributive lattices states that any finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to the lattice of order ideals (lower sets) of the partial order of the join-irreducible elements of the lattice.…

We introduce the notion of \tau-like partial order, where \tau is one of the linear order types \omega, \omega*, \omega+\omega*, and \zeta. For example, being \omega-like means that every element has finitely many predecessors, while being…

For a cardinal of the form $\kappa=\beth_\kappa$, Shelah's logic $L^1_\kappa$ has a characterisation as the maximal logic above $\bigcup_{\lambda<\kappa} L_{\lambda, \omega}$ satisfying Strong Undefinability of Well Order (SUDWO). SUDWO is…

In this note we consider a Ramsey type result for partially ordered sets. In particular, we give an alternative short proof of a theorem for a posets with multiple linear extensions recently obtained by Solecki and Zhao.

We present a number of results concerning infinite-exponent partition relations on linear orders of the form $\langle {}^\alpha 2,<_{\text{lex}}\rangle$ for $\alpha$ an ordinal, generalising the setting of the real line, working throughout…

Classical problems of sorting and searching assume an underlying linear ordering of the objects being compared. In this paper, we study a more general setting, in which some pairs of objects are incomparable. This generalization is relevant…

We look for partition theorems for large subtrees for suitable uncountable trees and colourings. We concentrate on sub-trees of $^{\kappa \ge} 2$ expanded by a well ordering of each level. Unlike earlier works, we do not ask the embedding…

We show that under the proper forcing axiom the class of all Aronszajn lines behave like $\sigma$-scattered orders under the embeddability relation. In particular, we are able to show that the class of better quasi order labeled fragmented…

Let $\G$ denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with vertex set $X$ and diameter $D \ge 3$. Fix $x \in X$ and let $L$ (resp. $R$) denote the corresponding lowering (resp. raising) matrix. We show that each $Q$-polynomial structure for…

In this paper we show how to build a model of $ZFC$ such that all its inner models satisfying the Axiom of Choice are well-ordered with respect to inclusion, and that said ordering is of arbitrary height (including possibly $Ord$ high). We…

A linear system is a pair $(P,\mathcal{L})$ where $\mathcal{L}$ is a family of subsets on a ground finite set $P$ such that $|l\cap l^\prime|\leq 1$, for every $l,l^\prime \in \mathcal{L}$. The elements of $P$ and $\mathcal{L}$ are called…

Set systems with strongly restricted intersections, called $\alpha$-intersecting families for a vector $\alpha$, were introduced recently as a generalization of several well-studied intersecting families including the classical oddtown and…

Higman's lemma states that for any well partial order $X$, the partial order $X^*$ of finite sequences with members from $X$ is also well. By combining results due to Girard as well as Sch\"{u}tte and Simpson, one can show that Higman's…

Let $X$ be an ordered vector space. The net $\{x_\alpha\}\subseteq X$ is semi unbounded order convergent to $x$ (in symbol $x_\alpha\xrightarrow{suo}x$), if there is a net $\{y_\beta\}$, possibly over a different index set, such that…
