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 ...
In mathematics, in the areas of order theory and combinatorics, Dilworth's theorem states that, in any finite partially ordered set, the maximum size of an antichain of incomparable elements equals the minimum number of chains needed to cover all elements. This number is called the width of the partial order.
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]
In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size.
The Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size. With a restricted definition, each Farey sequence starts with the value 0, denoted by the fraction 0 / 1 , and ends with the fraction 1 / 1 .
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:
Another way to combine two (disjoint) posets is the ordinal sum [12] (or linear sum), [13] Z = X ⊕ Y, defined on the union of the underlying sets X and Y by the order a ≤ Z b if and only if: a, b ∈ X with a ≤ X b, or; a, b ∈ Y with a ≤ Y b, or; a ∈ X and b ∈ Y. If two posets are well-ordered, then so is their ordinal sum. [14]
The Baire category theorem (BCT) is an important result in general topology and functional analysis.The theorem has two forms, each of which gives sufficient conditions for a topological space to be a Baire space (a topological space such that the intersection of countably many dense open sets is still dense).
