ISBN: 9810235895 ISBN-13: 9789810235895 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $80.75 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: November 1998 Annotation: This book introduces the reader to the general theory of partially ordered sets, i.e., posets. The text is presented in a rather informal manner, with interesting examples and computations, which rely on the Hassle diagram to build graphical intuition for the structure of finite posits. The proofs of a small number of theorems is included in the appendix. Important examples especially the Letter N poset, which plays a role akin to that of the Petersen graph in providing a candidate counterexample to many propositions, are used repeatedly throughout the text. |
