On extensions, linear extensions, upsets and downsets of ordered sets

Abstract: We consider the problem of characterizing the set (P ) of all extensions of an order P on a set of elements E, where |E| = n, |P | = m and is the number of extensions of the order. Initially, we describe two distinct characterizations of (P ). The first characterization is a one-to-one correspondence between extensions of P and pairs of upsets and downsets of certain suborders of P . The second one characterizes the extensions of P in terms of linear extensions and sequences of downsets. Both characterizations… Show more

“…Counting linear extensions of a general poset S was demonstrated to be #P-complete [13]. Several algorithms and strategies for generating linear extensions of non-structured posets were reported over the years [7,12,14,27,39,48,49,51,61,63,70,72].…”

“…Enumerating the extensions of a partially ordered set is a typical search problem, in which the arrangements are all the binary relations that can be defined on a set given as input and the solutions are only the relations that are partial orders containing the given partial order on the input set [8]. Search problems are amenable to a distributed treatment when the set of possible arrangements can be appropriately partitioned among the nodes of the distributed system.…”
