We give a generalization of possibility and necessity measures: their domains are extended towards fields of sets, and their codomains towards arbitrary complete lattices. In this way, these measures can be associated with (Q,≤)-fuzzy sets, where (Q,≤) is at least a poset. An important inconsistency problem, intricately linked with this association, is solved. It is argued that order lies at th...

the notion of a $d$-poset was introduced in a connection withquantum mechanical models. in this paper, we introduce theconditional expectation of  random variables on thek^{o}pka's $d$-poset and prove the basic properties ofconditional expectation on this  structure.

A binary poset code of codimension m (of cardinality 2n−m , where n is the code length) can correct maximum m errors. All possible poset metrics that allow codes of codimension m to be m-, (m − 1)-, or (m − 2)-perfect are described. Some general conditions on a poset which guarantee the nonexistence of perfect poset codes are derived; as examples, we prove the nonexistence of r-perfect poset co...

We study a poset N on the free monoid X∗ on a countable alphabet X. This poset is determined by the fact that its total extensions are precisely the standard term orders on X ∗. We also investigate the poset classifying degree-compatible standard term orders, and the poset classifying sorted term orders. For the latter poset, we give a Galois coconnection with the Young lattice.

The interval poset of a permutation catalogues the intervals that appear in its one-line notation, according to set inclusion. We study this poset, describing structural, characterizing, and enumerative properties.

In this paper all poset structures are classi£ed which admit the MacWilliams identity, and the MacWilliams identities for poset weight enumerators corresponding to such posets are derived. We prove that being a hierarchical poset is a necessary and suf£cient condition for a poset to admit MacWilliams identity. An explicit relation is also derived between P-weight distribution of a hierarchical ...
