MaximalAntichains(P)

MaximalAntichains(P,opts)

Parameters

P

-

PartiallyOrderedSet

opts

-

(optional) option of the form output = o, where o is list or iterator

Description

• 

The command MaximalAntichains(P) returns as a list of lists the maximal antichains of the partially ordered set P.

• 

By default, the antichains are returned as a list of lists. If the option output = iterator is passed to the MaximalAntichains command, the antichains are returned as an iterator; that is, an object that can be used in a for loop or a seq command. Each iteration yields an antichain as a list. This can be more efficient than returning a list of all antichains if there are very, very many of them. The default list of lists can be explicitly selected by using the option output = list.

Remarks

• 

MaximalAntichains will generate and store the transitive closure and adjacency list of P.

Terminology

• 

A partially ordered set, or poset for short, is a pair (P, <=) where P is a set and <= is a partial order on P.

• 

From now on, we fix a poset (P, <=).

• 

A subset C of P is called a chain if any two elements of C are comparable. A chain C of P is said maximal if P does not admit another chain D of which C would be a proper subset.

• 

A subset C of P is called an antichain if any two distinct elements of C are incomparable. An antichain C of P is said maximal if P does not admit another antichain D of which C would be a proper subset. We note that any singleton of P is both a chain and an antichain.

We can examine these antichains one by one by using the iterator output:

Antichain of length 1: [1]
