A Characterization of Partially Ordered Sets with Linear Discrepancy Equal to 2

چکیده
The linear discrepancy of a poset P is the least k such that there is a linear extension L of P such that if x and y are incomparable in P, then |hL(x) − hL(y)| ≤ k, where hL(x) is the height of x in L. Tanenbaum, Trenk, and Fishburn characterized the posets of linear discrepancy 1 as the semiorders of width 2 and posed the problem of characterizing the posets of linear discrepancy 2. We show that this problem is equivalent to finding the posets with linear discrepancy equal to 3 having the property that the deletion of any point results in a reduction in the linear discrepancy. Howard determined that there are infinitely many such posets of width 2. We complete the forbidden subposet characterization of posets with linear discrepancy equal to 2 by finding the minimal posets of width 3 with linear discrepancy equal to 3. We do so by showing that, with a small number of exceptions, they can all be derived from the list for width 2 by the removal of specific comparisons.

Categorical properties of regular partially ordered pure monomorphisms
Let a family of monomorphisms in the category A To study mathematical notions in a category A, such as injectivity, tensor products, flatness, with respect to a class M of its (mono)morphisms, one should know some of the categorical properties of the pair (A ,M ). In this paper we take A to be thecategory Pos-S of S-partially ordered sets and to be a particular class o...
متن کاملSampling of Multiple Variables Based on Partially Ordered Set Theory
We introduce a new method for ranked set sampling with multiple criteria. The method relaxes the restriction of selecting just one individual variable from each ranked set. Under the new method for ranking, units are ranked in sets based on linear extensions in partially order set theory with considering all variables simultaneously. Results willbe evaluated by a relatively extensive simulation...
