Partially ordered sets and stratification

چکیده

We employ partially ordered sets to describe the stratification of a social system, using rank to define the strata. We present a simple method of computing the matrix corresponding to the Hasse diagram and prove its correctness. This methodology is applied to analyze the hierarchy of countries that have won at least one Olympic medal. Four different definitions of dominance are given, leading to four different hierarchies and Hasse diagrams. We also prove that any of these definitions preserve any ordering based on giving different weights to gold, silver, and bronze medals. We study dominance between adjacent strata and note how the system changeswith time.We present a case analysis for Poland as an illustration of the set of data that can be computed for any country. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Interval fractional integrodifferential equations without singular kernel by fixed point in partially ordered sets

This work is devoted to the study of global solution for initial value problem of interval fractional integrodifferential equations involving Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative without singular kernel admitting only the existence of a lower solution or an upper solution. Our method is based on fixed point in partially ordered sets. In this study, we guaranty the existence of special kind of ...

Sampling 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...
