Chains in partially ordered sets

Tripled partially ordered sets

In this paper, we introduce tripled partially ordered sets and monotone functions on tripled partiallyordered sets. Some basic properties on these new dened sets are studied and some examples forclarifying are given.

Linear Inequalities for Enumerating Chains in Partially Ordered Sets

We characterize the linear inequalities satisfied by flag f -vectors of all finite bounded posets. We do the same for semipure posets. In particular, the closed convex cone generated by flag f -vectors of bounded posets of fixed rank is shown to be simplicial, and the closed cone generated by flag f -vectors of semipure posets of fixed rank is shown to be polyhedral. The extreme rays of both of...

Rectangles are Better than Chains for Encoding Partially Ordered Sets

Partial orders have applications in various areas in computer science such as distributed systems, object oriented languages, knowledge representation systems and databases. In this paper we present a new technique to encode partially ordered sets or posets. Specifically, we use the family of two-dimensional posets, which we refer to as rectangles, to encode a given poset; an element x is less ...

Partially Ordered Sets

For example, thus far, I had the fortune to work intimately with nine (9) undergraduate students on research questions in the areas of computational algebra and algebraic geometry. I am directing two master’s students in their research for their theses at Sam Houston State University. All of these undergraduate students have enrolled in graduate programs around the country. Three have finished ...
