Inclusion is a partial order: Explicitly, this means that inclusion, which is a binary operation, has the following three properties: [3] Reflexivity : L ⊆ L {\textstyle L\subseteq L} Antisymmetry : ( L ⊆ R and R ⊆ L ) if and only if L = R {\textstyle (L\subseteq R{\text{ and }}R\subseteq L){\text{ if and only if }}L=R}
Dilworth's theorem for infinite partially ordered sets states that a partially ordered set has finite width w if and only if it may be partitioned into w chains. For, suppose that an infinite partial order P has width w, meaning that there are at most a finite number w of elements in any antichain.
In a finite partial order (or more generally a partial order satisfying the ascending chain condition) all lower sets have this form. The union of any two lower sets is another lower set, and the union operation corresponds in this way to a join operation on antichains: A ∨ B = { x ∈ A ∪ B : ∄ y ∈ A ∪ B such that x < y ...
The overlap coefficient, [note 1] or Szymkiewicz–Simpson coefficient, [citation needed] [3] [4] [5] is a similarity measure that measures the overlap between two finite sets.It is related to the Jaccard index and is defined as the size of the intersection divided by the size of the smaller of two sets:
For each t ∈ T, the order type of {s ∈ T : s < t} is called the height of t, denoted ht(t, T). The height of T itself is the least ordinal greater than the height of each element of T. A root of a tree T is an element of height 0. Frequently trees are assumed to have only one root.
The time for using their method to add a single element to the completion of a partial order is O(cnw) where w is the width of the partial order, that is, the size of its largest antichain. Therefore, the time to compute the completion of a given partial order is O(cn 2 w) = O(cn 3). [12]
any two countably infinite densely ordered sets (i.e., linearly ordered in such a way that between any two members there is another) without endpoints are isomorphic. An isomorphism between linear orders is simply a strictly increasing bijection .
When two points as A and B of the line ABC are chosen, each of the five other lines through A is met by only one of the five other lines through B. The five points determined by the intersections of these pairs of lines, together with the two points A and B we designate a "heptad". [27]: 68 A heptad is determined by any two of its points.
