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…
We study generating functions of strict and non-strict order polynomials of series-parallel posets, called order series. These order series are closely related to Ehrhart series and h*-polynomials of the associated order polytopes. We…
Given a finite poset $\mathcal P$, we say that a family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of $[n]$ is $\mathcal P$-saturated if $\mathcal F$ does not contain an induced copy of $\mathcal P$, but adding any other set to $\mathcal F$ creates an induced…
Kahn and Kim (J. Comput. Sci., 1995) have shown that for a finite poset $P$, the entropy of the incomparability graph of $P$ (normalized by multiplying by the order of $P$) and the base-$2$ logarithm of the number of linear extensions of…
Graded posets frequently arise throughout combinatorics, where it is natural to try to count the number of elements of a fixed rank. These counting problems are often $\#\textbf{P}$-complete, so we consider approximation algorithms for…
Partially ordered sets labeled with k labels (k-posets) and their homomorphisms are examined. We give a representation of directed graphs by k-posets; this provides a new proof of the universality of the homomorphism order of k-posets. This…
It is known when we call a poset P, a $\mathcal{P}$-chain permutational poset, given a subset of permutations $\mathcal{P}$ of the symmetric group $S_{n}$. In this work, we use the same idea to study subsets of words of length $n$, that are…
A family $\mathcal{G}$ of sets is a(n induced) copy of a poset $P=(P,\leqslant)$ if there exists a bijection $b:P\rightarrow \mathcal{G}$ such that $p\leqslant q$ holds if and only if $b(p)\subseteq b(q)$. The induced saturation number…
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…
In this paper, we study the posets of classes of subgroups of finite group having same set of orders of elements. We show that this poset is a chain only in the case of p-groups and moreover, we characterize all finite groups for which this…
For a given partially ordered set (poset) and a given family of mappings of the poset into itself, we study the problem of the description of joint fixed points of this family. Well-known Tarski's theorem gives the structure of the set of…
A balanced pair in a finite 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 prove that every finite $N$-free…
One of possible cryptomorphic definitions of a partially ordered set (= a poset) $P$ on a non-empty finite basic set $N$ is in terms of the set ${\cal L}(P)$ of all its linear extensions, that is, in terms of the set of total orders of $N$…
This paper provides a bridge between two active areas of research, the spectrum (set of element orders) and the power graph of a finite group. The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is the list of orders of elements of the group, arranged…
We show that a finite graded lattice of rank n is supersolvable if and only if it has an EL-labeling where the labels along any maximal chain form a permutation. We call such a labeling an S_n EL-labeling and we consider finite graded…
The partition problem is a well-known basic NP-complete problem. We mainly consider the optimization version of it in this paper. The problem has been investigated from various perspectives for a long time and can be solved efficiently in…
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 show that the separative quotient of the poset (P(L),\subset) of isomorphic suborders of a countable scattered linear order L is \sigma-closed and atomless. So, under the CH, all these posets are forcing-equivalent (to P(\omega)/Fin).
A poset $\bfp$ is well-partially ordered (WPO) if all its linear extensions are well orders~; the supremum of ordered types of these linear extensions is the {\em length}, $\ell(\bfp)$ of $\bfp$. We prove that if the vertex set $X$ of…
For any finite poset $P$ we have the poset of isotone maps $\text{Hom}(P,\mathbb{N})$, also called $P^{op}$-partitions. To any poset ideal ${\mathcal J}$ in $\text{Hom}(P,\mathbb{N})$, finite or infinite, we associate monomial ideals: the…
