Split semiorders
A poset P = (X, 4 ) is a split semiorder if there are maps a , f : X --* • with a(x)<~f(x)<~a(x) + 1 for every x E X such that x -< y if and only if f ( x ) < a ( y ) and a(x) + 1 < f ( y ) . A split interval order is defined similarly with a(x)+ 1 replaced by b(x), a(x)<~ f(x)<~ b(x), such that x -< y if and only if f ( x ) < a ( y ) and b(x) < f ( y ) . We investigate these generalizations of...
متن کاملSemiorders with separability properties
We analyze different separability conditions that characterize the numerical representability of semiorders through a real-valued function and a strictly positive threshold. Any necessary and sufficient condition for the numerical representability of an interval order by means of two real-valued functions is proved to also characterize the Scott–Suppes representability of semiorders provided th...
متن کاملSemiorders and Riordan Numbers
In this paper, we define a class of semiorders (or unit interval orders) that arose in the context of polyhedral combinatorics. In the first section of the paper, we will present a pure counting argument equating the number of these interesting (connected and irredundant) semiorders on n + 1 elements with the nth Riordan number. In the second section, we will make explicit the relationship betw...
متن کاملDimensions of Split Semiorders
A poset P = (X,P ) is a split semiorder when there exists a function I that assigns to each x ∈ X a closed interval I (x) = [ax, ax + 1] of the real line R and a set F = {fx : x ∈ X} of real numbers, with ax ≤ fx ≤ ax +1, such that x < y in P if and only if fx < ay and ax +1 < fy in R. Every semiorder is a split semiorder, and there are split semiorders which are not interval orders. It is well...
متن کاملChoice by lexicographic semiorders
In Tversky’s (1969) model of a lexicographic semiorder, a preference is generated via the sequential application of numerical criteria by declaring an alternative x better than an alternative y if the first criterion that distinguishes between x and y ranks x higher than y by an amount exceeding a fixed threshold. We generalize this idea to a fully fledged model of boundedly rational choice. We...
