We investigate the generalisation of quantum search of unstructured and totally ordered sets to search of partially ordered sets (posets). Two models for poset search are considered. In both models, we show that quantum algorithms can…
Hyperplane arrangements dissect $\mathbb{R}^n$ into connected components called chambers, and a well-known theorem of Zaslavsky counts chambers as a sum of nonnegative integers called Whitney numbers of the first kind. His theorem…
A digraph that represents reasonably a scheduling problem should be a directed acyclic graph. Here down we shall deal with special kind of graded $DAGs$ named $KoDAGs$. For their definition and first primary properties see $ [1]$, where…
Well-partial orders, and the ordinal invariants used to measure them, are relevant in set theory, program verification, proof theory and many other areas of computer science and mathematics. In this article we focus on one of the most…
When solving the Hamiltonian path problem it seems natural to be given additional precedence constraints for the order in which the vertices are visited. For example one could decide whether a Hamiltonian path exists for a fixed starting…
A $k$-stack layout (also called a $k$-page book embedding) of a graph consists of a total order of the vertices, and a partition of the edges into $k$ sets of non-crossing edges with respect to the vertex order. The stack number (book…
Several types of linear layouts of graphs are obtained by leveraging known data structures; the most notable representatives are the stack and the queue layouts. In this content, given a data structure, one seeks to specify an order of the…
We define a poset of partitions associated to an operad. We prove that the operad is Koszul if and only if the poset is Cohen-Macaulay. In one hand, this characterisation allows us to compute the homology of the poset. This homology is…
The poset of permutations of [n] under Bruhat ordering is studied. We give nontrivial upper and lower bounds for the number of comparable pairs of permutations in both the weak and strong versions of this order. In light of numerical…
A poset is (3+1)-free if it does not contain the disjoint union of chains of length 3 and 1 as an induced subposet. These posets are the subject of the (3+1)-free conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge. Recently, Lewis and Zhang have…
We consider the concept of rank as a measure of the vertical levels and positions of elements of partially ordered sets (posets). We are motivated by the need for algorithmic measures on large, real-world hierarchically-structured data…
We describe an algorithm for compressing a partially ordered set, or \emph{poset}, so that it occupies space matching the information theory lower bound (to within lower order terms), in the worst case. Using this algorithm, we design a…
A \emph{$k$-track} layout of a graph consists of a vertex $k$ colouring, and a total order of each vertex colour class, such that between each pair of colour classes no two edges cross. A \emph{$k$-queue} layout of a graph consists of a…
Given a poset $P$, a family $\mathcal{S}=\{S_x:x\in P\}$ of sets indexed by the elements of $P$ is called an inclusion representation of $P$ if $x\leqslant y$ in $P$ if and only if $S_x\subseteq S_y$. The cube height of a poset is the least…
We introduce partially ordered sets (posets) with an additional structure given by a collection of vector subspaces of an algebra $A$. We call them algebraically equipped posets. Some particular cases of these, are generalized equipped…
The chain covering number $\Cov(P)$ of a poset $P$ is the least number of chains needed to cover $P$. For a cardinal $\nu$, we give a list of posets of cardinality and covering number $\nu$ such that for every poset $P$ with no infinite…
In this paper, we first give formulas for the order polynomial $\Omega (\Pw; t)$ and the Eulerian polynomial $e(\Pw; \lambda)$ of a finite labeled poset $(P, \omega)$ using the adjacency matrix of what we call the $\omega$-graph of $(P,…
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…
We investigate a poset structure that extends the weak order on a finite Coxeter group $W$ to the set of all faces of the permutahedron of $W$. We call this order the facial weak order. We first provide two alternative characterizations of…
A tessellation of a graph is a partition of its vertices into vertex disjoint cliques. A tessellation cover of a graph is a set of tessellations that covers all of its edges. The $t$-tessellability problem aims to decide whether there is a…
