A splitting property of maximal antichains
1995
Combinatorica
In any dense poset P (e.g. in the Boolean lattice) every maximal antichain S may be partitioned into disjoint subsets S 1 and S 2 , such that the union of the downset of S 1 with the upset of S 2 yields ...
To find a similar splitting of maximal antichains in posets is NP-hard in general. ...
It is easy to find a poset P and a maximal antichain S in P such that S has no splitting. ...

Chains, Antichains, and Complements in Infinite Partition Lattices
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
We consider the partition lattice Π_κ on any set of transfinite cardinality κ and properties of Π_κ whose analogues do not hold for finite cardinalities. ...
Moreover, we give a direct formula for the number of complements to a given partition; (VI) Under the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis, the cardinalities of maximal chains, maximal antichains, and numbers ...

Note on maximal split-stable subgraphs
2007
Discrete Applied Mathematics
In this note, we address the corresponding optimization problem: identify a set of vertices of maximal cardinality that decomposes into a red and a blue stable set. ...
We investigate the complexity of special and related cases (e.g., (anti-)chains in partial orders and stable matroid bases) and exhibit some NP-hard cases as well as polynomial ones. ...
Acknowledgments We thank anonymous referees on an earlier version of this paper for pointing out F. Gavril's work [6] , and Gyula Pap for fruitful conversations. ...

Chains, antichains, and fibres
1987
Journal of combinatorial theory. Series A
Call a subset of an ordered set a fibre if it meets every maximal antichain. ...
One example is this: In a finite graph G every minimal transuersal is independent if and only if G contains no path of length three. !D 1987 Academic ems, hc. ...
An ordered set is N-free if its diagram contains no N, that is, if it contains no cover-preserving subset isomorphic to (a < c, b < c, b <d). ...

For each integer k ≥ 3, we find all maximal intervals I k of natural numbers with the following property: whenever the number of elements in every maximal chain in a finite partially ordered set P lies ...

On Deductive Systems of AC Semantics for Rough Sets
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
In her paper two different semantics, one for general rough sets and another for general approximation spaces over quasi-equivalence relations, were developed. ...
Antichain based semantics for general rough sets were introduced recently by the present author. ...
Suppose the objects represented by the pairs (a, b) and (e, f ) are such that a = e and b ⊂ f , then it is clear that any maximal antichain containing (e, f ) cannot contain any element from {x : x l ...

Two-colouring all two-element maximal antichains
1991
Journal of combinatorial theory. Series A
We give an example of a finite poset P with no one-element maximal antichain and containing no fibre of size at most JP(/2, thus answering a question of Aigner-Andreae and disproving a conjecture of Lone-Rival ...
A fibre in a partially ordered set P is a subset of P meeting every maximal antichain of P. ...
In this case only one kind of hypergraph (maximal complete subgraph, or maximal independent set) need be considered, since the complement of a perfect graph is perfect. ...

The integers pi= I(i)XI, i =O, l,..., K, are called parameters of X Clements and Gronau 141 studied the maximal antichains containing no set and its complement. ...
The opposite concept, c-antichains, i.e., antichains consisting of sets and their complements, was considered in the case k, = I by Bollob&s [ 11. ...

Covering Graphs by Colored Stable Sets
2004
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics
Let G = (V, R ∪ B) be a multigraph with red and blue edges. G is an R/B-split graph if V is the union of a red and a blue stable set. ...
On the other hand, finding a maximal R/B-subgraph is N P-hard already for the class of comparability graphs of series-parallel orders. ...
Acknowledgment The authors are grateful to Nguyen Tien Thanh for pointing out the relationship between R/B-split graphs and König graphs. ...

A note on blockers in posets

The blocker A^* of an antichain A in a finite poset P is the set of elements minimal with the property of having with each member of A a common predecessor. The following is done: 1. ...
Connections with the question of finding minimal size blocking sets for certain set families are discussed. ...
A crucial property in this setting is that if A is an antichain (no set contains another), then A * * = A. ...

Order 1 (1985), no. 3, 235-247. A subset A of an ordered set P is called a cutset if each maximal chain of P meets A. If, in addition, A is an antichain, it is called an antichain cutset. ...

All depend on the interconnection between maximal chains and maximal antichains of ordered sets. By considering ordered sets one achieves considerable generality. ...
On the other hand, the parallel considerations of maximal chains and maximal antichains of S give rise to a new kind of interconnection of elements of P 1 ! ...

Since two graphs G and H are isomorphic if and only if their complements are isomorphic, we conclude that Claim 2. A set of graphs is a WQO if and only if the set of their complements is a WQO. ...
It is known that a class of graphs defined by a single forbidden induced subgraph G is well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation if and only if G is an induced subgraph of P 4 . ...
Introduction A partial order on graphs is a well-quasi-order (WQO for short) if it contains no infinite antichains, i.e. no infinite sets of graphs pairwise incomparable with respect to the order. ...
