Rival and Zaguia showed that the antichain cutsets of a finite Boolean lattice are exactly the level sets. We show that a similar characterization of antichain cutsets holds for any strongly connected poset of locally finite height. As a…
The characterization of level sets of finite Boolean lattices as antichain cutsets, due to Rival and Zaguia, is seen to hold in all discrete semimodular lattices.
Antichains of a finite bounded poset are assigned antichains playing a role analogous to that played by blockers in the Boolean lattice of all subsets of a finite set. Some properties of lattices of generalized blockers are discussed.
Motivated by applications to information retrieval, we study the lattice of antichains of finite intervals of a locally finite, totally ordered set. Intervals are ordered by reverse inclusion; the order between antichains is induced by the…
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…
An antichain of subsets is a set of subsets such that no subset in the antichain is a proper subset of any other subset in the antichain. The Dedekind number counts the total number of antichains of subsets of an n-element set. This paper…
A structural condition is given for finite maximal antichains in the homomorphism order of relational structures to have the splitting property. It turns out that non-splitting antichains appear only at the bottom of the order. Moreover, we…
The two closely related Lorentz-invariant partial orders of space-time are distinguished with respect to the existence of antichain cutsets and the possibility of grading. World lines of particles with or without mass are the maximal chains…
It is known that a graded lattice of rank n is supersolvable if and only if it has an EL-labelling where the labels along any maximal chain are exactly the numbers 1,2,...,n without repetition. These labellings are called S_n EL-labellings,…
We establish one-to-one correspondences between maximal antichains in products of two finite linear orders and other mathematical objects, such as certain alignments of two strings, walks on a grid, lattice paths, words of two or three…
We investigate the structure of the Medvedev lattice as a partial order. We prove that every interval in the lattice is either finite, in which case it is isomorphic to a finite Boolean algebra, or contains an antichain of size…
It is shown that any finite, rank-connected, dismantlable lattice is lexicographically shellable (hence Cohen-Macaulay). A ranked, interval-connected lattice is shown to be rank-connected, but a rank-connected lattice need not be…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to emphasise that the class of Lie algebras with chain lattices of ideals are elementary blocks in the embedding or decomposition of Lie algebras with finite lattice of ideals. Secondly, to…
We construct a nonrecursive set \(A\le_T\emptyset'\) and a uniformly computable family of sets \(C_0,C_1,\dots\), all bounded finite-one equivalent to \(A\), such that the corresponding \(1\)-degrees form a copy of the dense linear order…
Let $\mathcal E_n$ be the variety of all epigroups of index $\le n$. We prove that, for an arbitrary natural number $n$, the interval $[\mathcal E_n, \mathcal E_{n+1}]$ of the lattice of epigroup varieties contains a chain isomorphic to the…
We provide a direct proof that a finite graded lattice with a maximal chain of left modular elements is supersolvable. This result was first established via a detour through EL-labellings in [McNamara-Thomas] by combining results of…
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…
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…
Dismantling allows for the removal of elements of a set, or in our case lattice, without disturbing the remaining structure. In this paper we have extended the notion of dismantling by single elements to the dismantling by intervals in a…
We investigate the lattice of machine invariant classes. This is an infinite completely distributive lattice but it is not a Boolean lattice. We show the subword complexity and the growth function create machine invariant classes. So the…
