چکیده

We exhibit a recursive procedure that enables us to construct a maximal union of k chains in a nite partially ordered set P for every positive integer k. As a consequence, we obtain an algorithmic proof of Greene's Duality Theorem on the relations between the cardinalities of maximal unions of chains and antichains in a nite poset.

A classification of hull operators in archimedean lattice-ordered groups with unit

The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function ...

Global Forcing Number for Maximal Matchings under Graph Operations

Let $S= \{e_1,\,e_2‎, ‎\ldots,\,e_m\}$ be an ordered subset of edges of a connected graph $G$‎. ‎The edge $S$-representation of an edge set $M\subseteq E(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the‎ ‎vector $r_e(M|S) = (d_1,\,d_2,\ldots,\,d_m)$‎, ‎where $d_i=1$ if $e_i\in M$ and $d_i=0$‎ ‎otherwise‎, ‎for each $i\in\{1,\ldots‎ , ‎k\}$‎. ‎We say $S$ is a global forcing set for maximal matchings of $G$‎ ‎if $...

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...

IDEALS IN EL-SEMIHYPERGROUPS ASSOCIATED TO ORDERED SEMIGROUPS

In this paper, we attempt to investigate the connection between various types of ideals (for examples $(m, n)$-ideal, bi-ideal, interior ideal, quasi ideal, prime ideal and maximal ideal) of an ordered semigroup $(S,cdot ,leq)$ and the correspond hyperideals of its EL-hyperstructure $(S,*)$ (if exists). Moreover, we construct the class of EL-$Gamma$-semihypergroup associated to a partially orde...

Generalized $F$-contractions in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces

We discuss about the generalized $F$-contraction mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. For this, we first introduce the notion of ordered weakly $F$-contraction mapping. We also present some fixed point results about this type of mapping in partially ordered metric spaces. Next, we introduce the notion of $acute{mathrm{C}}$iri$acute{mathrm{c}}$ type generalized ordered weakly $F$-contrac...
