We study the computational problem of checking whether a quantified conjunctive query (a first-order sentence built using only conjunction as Boolean connective) is true in a finite poset (a reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive directed…
Twin-width is a structural width parameter introduced by Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e and Watrigant [FOCS 2020], and has interesting applications in the areas of logic on graphs and in parameterized algorithmics. Very briefly, the essence of…
The standard notion of poset probability of a finite poset P involves calculating, for incomparable $\alpha$, $\beta$ in P, the number of linear extensions of P for which $\alpha$ precedes $\beta$. The fraction of those linear extensions…
The Bounded Height Conjecture of Bombieri, Masser, and Zannier states that for any sufficiently generic algebraic subvariety of a semiabelian $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-variety $G$ there is an upper bound on the Weil height of the points…
Erd\H{o}s asked the following question: given $n$ points in the plane in almost general position (no 4 collinear), how large a set can we guarantee to find that is in general position (no 3 collinear)? F\"uredi constructed a set of $n$…
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:…
We study the order dimension of the lattice of closed sets for a convex geometry. Further, we prove the existence of large convex geometries realized by planar point sets that have very low order dimension. We show that the planar point set…
The cross--product conjecture (CPC) of Brightwell, Felsner and Trotter (1995) is a two-parameter quadratic inequality for the number of linear extensions of a poset $P= (X, \prec)$ with given value differences on three distinct elements in…
In this paper we introduce the concepts of the distinguishing number and the distinguishing chromatic number of a poset. For a distributive lattice $L$ and its set $Q_L$ of join-irreducibles, we use classic lattice theory to show that any…
The fascinating question of the maximum value of twin-width on planar graphs is nowadays not far from the final resolution; there is a lower bound of 7 coming from a construction by Kr\'al' and Lamaison [arXiv, September 2022], and an upper…
In 1951, Bang posed the affine plank conjecture, which remains open: If a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is covered by planks, then the total relative width of the planks is at least one. We prove a lower bound of $2/(1+\sqrt{d})$ for this…
In this paper we present three different results dealing with the number of $(\leq k)$-facets of a set of points: 1. We give structural properties of sets in the plane that achieve the optimal lower bound $3\binom{k+2}{2}$ of $(\leq…
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…
We study the gaps $\Delta p_n$ between consecutive rank sizes in $r$-differential posets by introducing a projection operator whose matrix entries can be expressed in terms of the number of certain paths in the Hasse diagram. We strengthen…
Suppose that each proper subset of a set $S$ of points in a vector space is contained in the union of planes of specified dimensions, but $S$ itself is not contained in any such union. How large can $|S|$ be? We prove a general upper bound…
A classical theorem of De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s asserts that any noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. We prove that an analogue of this theorem holds for graphs. Restricting our attention to…
Anders Bjorner characterized which finite graded partially ordered sets arise as the posets of closure relations on cells of a finite, regular CW complex. His characterization of these "CW posets" required each open interval $(\hat{0},u)$…
For given posets $P$ and $Q$ and an integer $n$, the generalized Tur\'an problem for posets, asks for the maximum number of copies of $Q$ in a $P$-free subset of the $n$-dimensional Boolean lattice, $2^{[n]}$. In this paper, among other…
We describe small dominating sets of the incidence graphs of finite projective planes by establishing a stability result which shows that dominating sets are strongly related to blocking and covering sets. Our main result states that if a…
In this article, we study "questionable representations" of (partial or total) orders, introduced in our previous article "A class of orders with linear? time sorting algorithm". (Later, we consider arbitrary binary functional/relational…
