In mathematics, a ranked poset is a partially ordered set in which one of the following (non-equivalent) conditions hold: it is a graded poset, or; a poset with the property that for every element x, all maximal chains among those with x as greatest element have the same finite length, or; a poset in which all maximal chains have the same ...
In mathematics, in the branch of combinatorics, a graded poset is a partially-ordered set (poset) P equipped with a rank function ρ from P to the set N of all natural numbers. ρ must satisfy the following two properties: The rank function is compatible with the ordering, meaning that for all x and y in the order, if x < y then ρ(x) < ρ(y), and
A partially ordered set (poset for short) is an ordered pair = (,) consisting of a set (called the ground set of ) and a partial order on . When the meaning is clear from context and there is no ambiguity about the partial order, the set X {\displaystyle X} itself is sometimes called a poset.
An Eulerian poset which is a lattice is an Eulerian lattice. These objects are named after Leonhard Euler . Eulerian lattices generalize face lattices of convex polytopes and much recent research has been devoted to extending known results from polyhedral combinatorics , such as various restrictions on f -vectors of convex simplicial polytopes ...
The join/meet of a maximal/minimal element and another element is the maximal/minimal element and conversely the meet/join of a maximal/minimal element with another element is the other element. Thus every pair in this poset has both a meet and a join and the poset can be classified as a lattice.
A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra.It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).
In mathematics, the poset topology associated to a poset (S, ≤) is the Alexandrov topology (open sets are upper sets) on the poset of finite chains of (S, ≤), ordered by inclusion. Let V be a set of vertices. An abstract simplicial complex Δ is a set of finite sets of vertices, known as faces , such that
denote the poset formed by removing x from P. A poset game on P, played between two players conventionally named Alice and Bob, is as follows: Alice chooses a point x ∈ P; thus replacing P with P x, and then passes the turn to Bob who plays on P x, and passes the turn to Alice. A player loses if it is their turn and there are no points to choose.
