A differential poset is a partially ordered set with raising and lowering operators $U$ and $D$ which satisfy the commutation relation $DU-UD=rI$ for some constant $r$. This notion may be generalized to deal with the case in which there exist sequences of constants $\{q_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ and $\{r_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ such that for any poset element $x$ of rank $n$, $DU(x) = q_n UD(x) + r_nx$. Here, we introduce natural raising and lowering operators such that the set of unlabelled graphs, ordered by $G\leq H$ if and only if $G$ is isomorphic to an induced subgraph of $H$, is a generalized differential poset with $q_n=2$ and $r_n = 2^n$. This allows one to apply a number of enumerative results regarding walk enumeration to the poset of induced subgraphs.

Abstract For a partially ordered set (A,\le ) , let {G}_{A} be the simple, undirected graph with vertex set A such that two vertices a\ne b\in A are adjacent if either a\le b or b\le a . We call {G}_{A} the partial order graph or comparability graph of A. Furthermore, we say that a graph G is a partial order graph if there exists a partially ordered set A such that G={G}_{A} . For a class {\mathcal{C}} of simple, undirected graphs and n, m\ge 1 , we define the Ramsey number { {\mathcal R} }_{{\mathcal{C}}}(n,m) with respect to {\mathcal{C}} to be the minimal number of vertices r such that every induced subgraph of an arbitrary graph in {\mathcal{C}} consisting of r vertices contains either a complete n-clique {K}_{n} or an independent set consisting of m vertices. In this paper, we determine the Ramsey number with respect to some classes of partial order graphs. Furthermore, some implications of Ramsey numbers in ring theory are discussed.

This paper is the first of the three parts of work on the information retrieval systems proposed by Salton (see [24]). The system is defined by the notions of a partially ordered set of requests (A, ⩽), the set of objects X and a monotonic retrieval function U : A → 2X. Different conditions imposed on the set A and a function U make it possible to obtain various classes of information retrieval systems. We will investigate systems in which (A, ⩽) is a partially ordered set, a lattice, a pseudo-Boolean algebra and Boolean algebra. In my paper these systems are called partially ordered information retrieval systems (po-systems) lattice information retrieval systems (l-systems); pseudo-Boolean information retrieval systems (pB-systems) and Boolean information retrieval systems (B-systems). The first part concerns po-systems and 1-systems. The second part deals with pB-systems and B-systems. In the third part, systems with a partial access are investigated. The present part discusses the method for construction of a set of attributes. Problems connected with the selectivity and minimalization of a set of attributes are investigated. The characterization and the properties of a set of attributes are given.

The main result of this paper is the theorem in the title. Only special cases of it seem to be known so far. As an application, we obtain a result on the unique extension of Galois connexions. As a matter of fact, it is only by the use of Galois connexions that we obtain the main result, in its present generality.

For a semigroup S let I(S) be the set of idempotents in S. A natural partial order of I(S) is defined by e ≦ f if ef = fe = e. An element e in I(S) is called a primitive idempotent if e is a minimal non-zero element of the partially ordered set (I(S), ≦). It is easy to see that an idempotent e in S is primitive if and only if, for any idempotent f in S, f = ef = fe implies f = e or f is the zero element of S. One may also easily verify that an idempotent e is primitive if and only if the only idempotents in eSe are e and the zero element. We let П(S) denote the set of primitive idempotent in S.

A ribbon n-knot Kn is constructed by attaching m bands to m + 1n-spheres in the Euclidean (n + 2)-space. There are many way of attaching them; as a result, Kn has many presentations which are called ribbon presentations. In this note, we will induce a notion to classify ribbon presentations for ribbon n-knots of m-fusions (m ≥ 1, n ≥ 2), and show that such classes form a totally ordered set in the case of m = 2 and a partially ordered set in the case of m ≥ 1.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the homotopy type of the partially ordered set of left cosets of abelian subgroups in an extraspecial p-group. We prove that the universal cover of its nerve is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of r-spheres where {2r\geq 4} is the rank of its Frattini quotient. This determines the homotopy type of the universal cover of the classifying space of transitionally commutative bundles as introduced in [2].

AbstractWe prove that, for 1 ≤ p < q < ∞, the partially ordered set P(ω)/Fin can be embedded into Borel equivalence relations between ℝω/ℓp and ℝω/ℓq. Since there is an antichain of size continuum in P(ω)/Fin, there are continuum many pairwise incomparable Borel equivalence relations between ℝω/ℓp and ℝω/ℓq.
