Homomorphism-Homogeneous Partially Ordered Sets

Abstract: A structure is called homogeneous if every isomorphism between finite substructures of the structure extends to an automorphism of the structure. Recently, P. J. Cameron and J. Nešetřil introduced a relaxed version of homogeneity: we say that a structure is homomorphism-homogeneous if every homomorphism between finite substructures of the structure extends to an endomorphism of the structure. In this paper we characterize homomorphism-homogeneous partially ordered sets (where a homomorphism between partially o… Show more

“…Recently there have been several results on homomorphism-homogeneous partially ordered sets. Cameron and Lockett [1] as well as Mašulović [7] both treat this topic. They classify homomorphismhomogeneous posets for strict and non-strict homomorphism, when the morphisms considered are homomorphisms, monomorphisms and isomorphisms.…”

“…Thus, the class of finite strict partial orders has the HAP. • By [7, Proposition 25] and[28, Theorem 4.5], we have that the structure (Q, ≤) is homomorphism-homogeneous. Thus, the class of finite linear orders has the HAP.…”

“…In several recent papers [2,5,10,12] homomorphism-homogeneous relational structures such as graphs, tournaments and partially ordered sets have been investigated. As far as algebras are concerned, [4] contains the description of homomorphism-homogeneous lattices, together with some initial results concerning homomorphism-homogeneous semilattices.…”
