چکیده

The linear discrepancy of a poset P is the least k for which there is a linear extension L of P such that if x and y are incomparable in P, then |hL(x) − hL(y)| ≤ k, where hL(x) is the height of x in L. In this paper, we consider linear discrepancy in an online setting and devise an online algorithm that constructs a linear extension L of a poset P so that |hL(x) − hL(y)| ≤ 3k − 1, when the linear discrepancy of P is k. This inequality is best possible, even for the class of interval orders. Furthermore, if the poset P is a semiorder, then the inequality is improved to |hL(x)− hL(y)| ≤ 2k. Again, this result is best possible.

Interval fractional integrodifferential equations without singular kernel by fixed point in partially ordered sets

This work is devoted to the study of global solution for initial value problem of interval fractional integrodifferential equations involving Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative without singular kernel admitting only the existence of a lower solution or an upper solution. Our method is based on fixed point in partially ordered sets. In this study, we guaranty the existence of special kind of ...

Sampling of Multiple Variables Based on Partially Ordered Set Theory

We introduce a new method for ranked set sampling with multiple criteria. The method relaxes the restriction of selecting just one individual variable from each ranked set. Under the new method for ranking, units are ranked in sets based on linear extensions in partially order set theory with considering all variables simultaneously. Results willbe evaluated by a relatively extensive simulation...
