A chain poset, by definition, consists of chains of ordered elements in a poset. We study the chain posets associated to two posets: the Boolean algebra and the poset of isotropic flags. We prove that, in both cases, the chain posets…
It is known that every relatively pseudocomplemented lattice is residuated and, moreover, it is distributive. Unfortunately, non-distributive lattices with a unary operation satisfying properties similar to relative pseudocomplementation…
Let $B_n$ be the poset generated by the subsets of $[n]$ with the inclusion as relation and let $P$ be a finite poset. We want to embed $P$ into $B_n$ as many times as possible such that the subsets in different copies are incomparable. The…
We define several sorts of mappings on a poset like monotone, strictly monotone, upper cone preserving and variants of these. Our aim is to characterize posets in which some of these mappings coincide. We define special mappings determined…
Lattice induced threshold function is a Boolean function determined by a particular linear combination of lattice elements. We prove that every isotone Boolean function is a lattice induced threshold function and vice versa. We also…
The coefficients of the chain polynomial of a finite poset enumerate chains in the poset by their number of elements. The chain polynomials of the partition lattices and their standard type $B$ analogues are shown to have only real roots.…
The theory of bounded, distributive lattices provides the appropriate language for describing directionality and asymptotics in dynamical systems. For bounded, distributive lattices the general notion of `set-difference' taking values in a…
A specialization semilattice is a join semilattice together with a coarser preorder $ \sqsubseteq $ satisfying an appropriate compatibility condition. If $X$ is a topological space, then $(\mathcal P(X), \cup, \sqsubseteq )$ is a…
For operators generated by a certain class of infinite band matrices with matrix elements we establish a characterization of the resolvent set in terms of polynomial solutions of the underlying higher order finite difference equations. This…
We introduce so-called consistent posets which are bounded posets with an antitone involution ' where the lower cones of x,x' and of y,y' coincide provided x,y are different form 0,1 and, moreover, if x,y are different form 0 then their…
This paper first gives a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice $L$ can be represented as the collection of all up-sets of a poset. Applying the condition, it obtains a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice can be…
We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…
For any finite poset we define a generating polynomial counting upsets, downsets, and their intersection. We investigate the behaviour of this polynomial with respect to poset operations, show that it distinguishes series-parallel posets,…
In the paper, the authors present several new relations and applications for the combinatorial sequence that counts the possible partitions of a finite set with the restriction that the size of each block is contained in a given set. One of…
We study centralizer clones of finite lattices and semilattices. For semilattices, we give two characterizations of the centralizer and also derive formulas for the number of operations of a given essential arity in the centralizer. We also…
As algebraic semantics of the logic of quantum mechanics there are usually used orthomodular posets, i.e. bounded posets with a complementation which is an antitone involution and where the join of orthogonal elements exists and the…
A barcode is a finite multiset of intervals on the real line, $B = \{ (b_i, d_i)\}_{i=1}^n$. Barcodes are important objects in topological data analysis, where they serve as summaries of the persistent homology groups of a filtration. The…
We study two constructions related to the intervals of finite posets. The first one is a poset. The second one is more complicated. Loosely speaking it can be seen as a poset with some extra zero-relations. As main result, we show that…
We present a refinement of Ramsey numbers by considering graphs with a partial ordering on their vertices. This is a natural extension of the ordered Ramsey numbers. We formalize situations in which we can use arbitrary families of…
The combinatorial properties of partitions with various restrictions on their hooksets are explored. A connection with numerical semigroups extends current results on simultaneous s/t-cores. Conditions that suffice for a partition to…
