چکیده

D denotes the homomorphism poset of finite directed graphs. An antichain duality is a pair 〈F ,D〉 of antichains of D such that (F→) ∪ (→D) = D is a partition. A generalized duality pair in D is an antichain duality 〈F ,D〉 with finite F and D. We give a simplified proof of the Foniok Nešetřil Tardif theorem for the special case D, which gave full description of the generalized duality pairs in D. Although there are many antichain dualities 〈F ,D〉 with infinite D and F , we can show that there is no antichain duality 〈F ,D〉 with finite F and infinite D.

There Is No Finite-infinite Duality Pair - Forming Antichains - in the Digraph Poset

Let D denote the partially ordered sets of homomorphism classes of finite directed graphs, ordered by the homomorphism relation. Order theoretic properties of this poset have been studied extensively, and have interesting connections to familiar graph properties and parameters. This paper studies the generalized duality pairs in D: it gives a new, short proof for the Foniok Nešetřil Tardif theo...

Regular families of forests, antichains and duality pairs of relational structures

Homomorphism duality pairs play a crucial role in the theory of relational structures and in the Constraint Satisfaction Problem. The case where both classes are finite is fully characterized. The case when both side are infinite seems to be very complex. It is also known that no finite-infinite duality pair is possible if we make the additional restriction that both classes are antichains. In ...

Antichains in the homomorphism order of graphs

Denote by G and D, respectively, the the homomorphism poset of the finite undirected and directed graphs, respectively. A maximal antichain A in a poset P splits if A has a partition (B, C) such that for each p ∈ P either b ≤P p for some b ∈ B or p ≤p c for some c ∈ C. We construct both splitting and non-splitting infinite maximal antichains in G and in D. A point y ∈ P is a cut point in a pose...

On Infinite-finite Duality Pairs of Directed Graphs

The (A,D) duality pairs play crucial role in the theory of general relational structures and in the Constraint Satisfaction Problem. The case where both classes are finite is fully characterized. The case when both side are infinite seems to be very complex. It is also known that no finite-infinite duality pair is possible if we make the additional restriction that both classes are antichains. ...

Splitting finite antichains in the homomorphism order

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 examine looseness and finite antichain extension property for some subclasses of the homomorphism poset. Finally, we take a look at cut-points in this order.
