The representation of series-parallel-ordered sets

Some Representation Theorems for Partially Ordered Sets

Tripled partially ordered sets

In this paper, we introduce tripled partially ordered sets and monotone functions on tripled partiallyordered sets. Some basic properties on these new dened sets are studied and some examples forclarifying are given.

Ageing Orders of Series-Parallel and Parallel-Series Systems with Independent Subsystems Consisting of Dependent Components

In this paper, we consider series-parallel and parallel-series systems with independent subsystems consisting of dependent homogeneous components whose joint lifetimes are modeled by an Archimedean copula. Then, by considering two such systems with different numbers of components within each subsystem, we establish hazard rate and reversed hazard rate orderings between the two system lifetimes,...

Ordering Subsets of (partially) Ordered Sets: Representation Theorems

In many practical situations, we have a (partially) ordered set V of different values. For example, we may have the set of all possible values of temperature, or the set of all possible degrees of confidence in a statement. In practice, we are often uncertain about the exact value of the quantity. Due to this uncertainty, at best, we know a set S ⊆ V of possible values of the quantity: e.g., an...

heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings

from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
