A collection of linear orders on $X$, say $\mathcal{L}$, is said to \emph{realize} a partially ordered set (or poset) $\mathcal{P} = (X, \preceq)$ if, for any two distinct $x,y \in X$, $x \preceq y$ if and only if $x \prec_L y$, $\forall L…
The queue-number of a poset is the queue-number of its cover graph viewed as a directed acyclic graph, i.e., when the vertex order must be a linear extension of the poset. Heath and Pemmaraju conjectured that every poset of width $w$ has…
We discuss a possible characterization, by means of forbidden configurations, of posets which are embeddable in a product of finitely many scattered chains.
We introduce order conserving embeddings as a more general form of order preserving embeddings between finite dimensional nest algebras. The structure of these embeddings is determined, in terms of order indecomposable decompositions, and…
Joret et al. proved that posets with cover graphs of treewidth at most 2 have dimension at most 1276. Their proof is long and very complex. We give a short and much simpler proof that the dimension of such posets is at most 12.
In this note we discuss a common misconception, namely that embeddings are always used to reduce the dimensionality of the item space. We show that when we measure dimensionality in terms of information entropy then the embedding of sparse…
Properties of intervals in the lattice of antichains of subsets of a universe of finite size are investigated. New objects and quantities in this lattice are defined. Expressions and numerical values are deduced for the number of connected…
For a given set of intervals on the real line, we consider the problem of ordering the intervals with the goal of minimizing an objective function that depends on the exposed interval pieces (that is, the pieces that are not covered by…
The aim of the present paper is to investigate the half-spaces in the convexity structure of all quasiorders on a given set and to use them in an alternative approach to classical order dimension. The main result states that linear orders…
For a given poset, we consider its representations by systems of subspaces of a unitary space ordered by inclusion. We classify such systems for all posets for which an explicit classification is possible.
We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…
Interval-order partially ordered multisets with interfaces (ipomsets) have shown to be a versatile model for executions of concurrent systems in which both precedence and concurrency need to be taken into account. In this paper, we develop…
This thesis presents an alternative to Cantor's theory of cardinality, insofar as that is understood as a theory of set size. The alternative is based on a general theory, ClassSize. ClassSize contains all sentences in the first order…
We prove that every poset with bounded cliquewidth and with sufficiently large dimension contains the standard example of dimension $k$ as a subposet. This applies in particular to posets whose cover graphs have bounded treewidth, as the…
We obtain new lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar Borel sets of dimension slightly larger than $1$, improving recent estimates of Keleti and Shmerkin, and of Liu in this regime. In…
For abelian length categories the borderline between finite and infinite representation type is discussed. Characterisations of finite representation type are extended to length categories of infinite height, and the minimal length…
Motivated by quite recent research involving the relationship between the dimension of a poset and graph-theoretic properties of its cover graph, we show that for every $d\geq 1$, if $P$ is a poset and the dimension of a subposet $B$ of $P$…
We introduce a notion of dimension for the solution set of a system of algebraic difference equations that measures the degrees of freedom when determining a solution in the ring of sequences. This number need not be an integer, but, as we…
The interleaving distance, although originally developed for persistent homology, has been generalized to measure the distance between functors modeled on many posets or even small categories. Existing theories require that such a poset…
We introduce three measures of complexity for families of sets. Each of the three measures, that we call dimensions, is defined in terms of the minimal number of convex subfamilies that are needed for covering the given family: for upper…
