For every integer $n$ with $n \geq 4$, we prove that the local dimension of a poset consisting of all the subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ equipped with the inclusion relation is strictly less than $n$, answering a question of Kim, Martin,…

Given a family ${\mathcal F}$ and a host graph $H$, a graph $G\subseteq H$ is ${\mathcal F}$-saturated relative to $H$ if no subgraph of $G$ lies in ${\mathcal F}$ but adding any edge from $E(H)-E(G)$ to $G$ creates such a subgraph. In the…

Given a graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of $H$ but adding any new edge to $G$ creates a copy of $H$. Let $sat(n,K_r,t)$ be the minimum number of edges in a $K_r$-saturated graph on $n$ vertices…

For integers $0 \leq m \leq l \leq n-m$, the truncated Boolean lattice ${\cal B}_n(m,l)$ is the poset of all subsets of $[n] = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ which have size at least $m$ and at most $l$. ${\cal C} \subseteq {\cal B}_n(m,l)$ is a {\em…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph. We say that a graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if it has no subgraph isomorphic to $H$, but the addition of any edge to $G$ results in an $H$-subgraph. The saturation number $\mathrm{sat}(H,n)$ is the minimum number of…

This paper considers two important questions in the well-studied theory of graphs that are $F$-saturated. A graph $G$ is called $F$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $F$, but the addition of any edge creates a copy…

A $0$-$1$ matrix $M$ is saturating for a $0$-$1$ matrix $P$ if $M$ does not contain a submatrix that can be turned into $P$ by changing some $1$ entries to $0$ entries, and changing an arbitrary $0$ to $1$ in $M$ introduces such a submatrix…

Given a graph $F$, a graph $G$ is weakly $F$-saturated if all non-edges of $G$ can be added in some order so that each new edge introduces a copy of $F$. The weak saturation number $\operatorname{wsat}(n, F)$ is the minimum number of edges…

In this note, we determine the maximum size of a $\{V_{k}, \Lambda_{l}\}$-free family in the lattice of vector subspaces of a finite vector space both in the non-induced case as well as the induced case, for a large range of parameters $k$…

Given a finite poset $X$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for there to exist a local Noetherian UFD $A$ and a saturated embedding of posets $\phi : X \longrightarrow \mbox{Spec}(A)$ such that $\dim(X)=\dim(A)$. The conditions…

Suppose $k \ge 2$ is an integer. Let $Y_k$ be the poset with elements $x_1, x_2, y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_{k-1}$ such that $y_1 < y_2 < \cdots < y_{k-1} < x_1, x_2$ and let $Y_k'$ be the same poset but all relations reversed. We say that a…

What is the smallest size of a family of subsets of $[n]$ such that it does not contain an induced copy of $Q_2$ as a poset (known as the \textit{diamond}), but adding a new set creates such a copy? It is easy to see that a maximal chain…

For two graphs $G$ and $F$, we say that $G$ is weakly $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of $F$ as a subgraph and one could join all the nonadjacent pairs of vertices of $G$ in some order so that a new copy of $F$ is created at each…

In section 1 we consider a 3-tuple $S=(|S|,\preccurlyeq,E)$ where $|S|$ is a finite set, $\preccurlyeq$ a partial ordering on $|S|,$ and $E$ a set of unordered pairs of distinct members of $|S|,$ and study, as a function of $n\geq 0,$ the…

A 0-1 matrix $M$ is saturating for a 0-1 matrix $P$ if $M$ does not contain a submatrix that can be turned into $P$ by flipping any number of its $1$-entries to $0$-entries, and changing any $0$-entry to $1$-entry of $M$ introduces a copy…

In this paper, we study minimal generators of the (saturated) defining ideal of $\sigma_k(v_d(\mathbb{P}^n))$ in $\mathbb{P}^{N}$ with ${N=\binom{n+d}{d}-1}$, the $k$-secant variety of $d$-uple Veronese embedding of projective $n$-space, of…

A numbering of a countable family $S$ is a surjective map from the set of natural numbers $\omega$ onto $S$. The paper studies Rogers semilattices, i.e. upper semilattices induced by the reducibility between numberings, for families…

For a fixed graph $H$, a graph $G$ is called $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain $H$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph, but $G+e$ contains a copy of $H$ for any $e\in E(\overline{G})$. The saturation number of $H$, denoted by ${\rm…

A 0-1 matrix $M$ contains another 0-1 matrix $P$ if some submatrix of $M$ can be turned into $P$ by changing any number of $1$-entries to $0$-entries. $M$ is $\mathcal{P}$-saturated where $\mathcal{P}$ is a family of 0-1 matrices if $M$…

For two posets $P$ and $Q$, we say $Q$ is $P$-free if there does not exist any order-preserving injection from $P$ to $Q$. The speical case for $Q$ being the Boolean lattice $B_n$ is well-studied, and the optiamal value is denoted as…
