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.

Rough Sets and Matroids

We prove the recent result of Liu and Zhu [2] and discuss some consequences of that and related facts for the development of rough set theory.

Oriented Matroids

The theory of oriented matroids provides a broad setting in which to model, describe, and analyze combinatorial properties of geometric configurations. Apparently totally different mathematical objects such as point and vector configurations, arrangements of hyperplanes, convex polytopes, directed graphs, and linear programs find a common generalization in the language of oriented matroids. The...

Cyclic Polytopes and Oriented Matroids

Consider the moment curve in the real Euclidean space R defined parametrically by the map γ : R → R, t → γ(t) = (t, t, . . . , t). The cyclic d-polytope Cd(t1, . . . , tn) is the convex hull of the n, n > d, different points on this curve. The matroidal analogues are the alternating oriented uniform matroids. A polytope [resp. matroid polytope] is called cyclic if its face lattice is isomorphic...
