Matchings, cutsets, and chain partitions in graded posets

نویسنده

  • Jerrold R. Griggs
چکیده

New properties that involve matchings, cutsets, or skipless chain partitions in graded posets are introduced and compared to familiar Sperner and chain partition properties. Related work is surveyed. We determine all possible combinations of these properties, with the exception of a long-standing open conjecture about L Y M posets, and provide a list of examples realizing these combinations.

Nested chain partitions of LYM posets

A long-standing conjecture states that all LYM posets possess nested chain partitions. We verify this conjecture for posets of rank 2. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Approximately Sampling Elements with Fixed Rank in Graded Posets

Graded posets frequently arise throughout combinatorics, where it is natural to try to count the number of elements of a fixed rank. These counting problems are often #Pcomplete, so we consider approximation algorithms for counting and uniform sampling. We show that for certain classes of posets, biased Markov chains that walk along edges of their Hasse diagrams allow us to approximately genera...

Antichain Cutsets of Strongly Connected Posets

Rival and Zaguia showed that the antichain cutsets of a finite Boolean lattice are exactly the level sets. We show that a similar characterization of antichain cutsets holds for any strongly connected poset of locally finite height. As a corollary, we characterize the antichain cutsets in semimodular lattices, supersolvable lattices, Bruhat orders, locally shellable lattices, and many more. We ...

n ! MATCHINGS , n ! POSETS

We show that there are n! matchings on 2n points without socalled left (neighbor) nestings. We also define a set of naturally labeled (2+2)free posets and show that there are n! such posets on n elements. Our work was inspired by Bousquet-Mélou, Claesson, Dukes and Kitaev [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A. 117 (2010) 884–909]. They gave bijections between four classes of combinatorial objects: matching...

Linear Inequalities for Flags in Graded Posets

The closure of the convex cone generated by all flag f -vectors of graded posets is shown to be polyhedral. In particular, we give the facet inequalities to the polar cone of all nonnegative chain-enumeration functionals on this class of posets. These are in one-to-one correspondence with antichains of intervals on the set of ranks and thus are counted by Catalan numbers. Furthermore, we prove ...
