The Permutahedron of Series-parallel Posets
The permutahedron Perm(P) of a poset P is defined as the convex hull of those permutations that are linear extensions of P. Von Arnim et al. (1990) gave a linear description of the permutahedron of a series-parallel poset. Unfortunately, their main theorem characterizing the facet defining inequalities is only correct for not series-decomposable posets. We do not only give a proof of the revise...
متن کاملDiscrete Applied Mathematics the Permutahedron of Series-parallel Posets
Schoute (1911) introduced the permutahedron on an n-element set N= { 1, . . . , n} as follows. With any permutation n of N we associate an incidence vector x(71) = (n(I), *.., n(n)) E IR”. The permutahedron is the polytope Perm(N) = conv{x(rr): rr is a permutation of N}. Independently, several authors (cf., e.g., Rado [4], Balas [l], Gaiha and Gupta [2], Young [6]) studied the permutahedron and...
متن کاملRetractions onto series-parallel posets
The poset retraction problem for a poset P is whether a given poset Q containing P as a subposet admits a retraction onto P, that is, whether there is a homomorphism from Q onto P which fixes every element of P. We study this problem for finite series-parallel posets P. We present equivalent combinatorial, algebraic, and topological charaterisations of posets for which the problem is tractable,...
متن کاملSeries-parallel posets and the Tutte polynomial
We investigate the Tutte polynomial f(P; t, z) of a series-parallel partially ordered set P. We show that f(P) can be computed in polynomial-time when P is series-parallel and that series-parallel posets having isomorphic deletions and contractions are themselves isomorphic. A formula forf’(P*) in terms off(P) is obtained and shows these two polynomials factor over Z[t, z] the same way. We exam...
متن کاملN-free posets as generalizations of series-parallel posets
N-free posets have recently taken some importance and motivated many studies. This class of posets introduced by Grillet [8] and Heuchenne [11] are very related to another important class of posets, namely the series-parallel posets, introduced by Lawler [12] and studied by Valdes et al. [21]. This paper shows how N-free posets can be considered as generalizations of series-parallel posets, by ...
