关于有限论域中集合反链的个数

On the number of antichains of sets in a finite universe

Patrick De Causmaecker, Stefan De Wannemacker

摘要:

研究了有限大小论域的子集的反链格的区间性质。在这个晶格中定义新的对象和量。导出了连通反链数和全可区别反链数的表达式和数值。后者与第二类斯特林数建立了联系。证明了反链格中区间的分解性质。引入了一个新的算子,它允许在低维子格的区间内划分全格。定义了反链区间下的特殊偏序集。偏序集允许导出一个强大的公式的大小的区间。这个公式允许计算六维空间中的间隔。组合系数允许另一个分解的全格定义。在某些特定情况下,与图中的连通分量相关,这些系数可以有效地计算。这个公式允许有效地计算8阶格的大小。这个大小是8阶戴德金的数量,是迄今为止已知的最大的一个。

英文摘要:

Properties of intervals in the lattice of antichains of subsets of a universe of finite size are investigated. New objects and quantities in this lattice are defined. Expressions and numerical values are deduced for the number of connected antichains and the number of fully distinguishing antichains. The latter establish a connection with Stirling numbers of the second kind. Decomposition properties of intervals in the lattice of antichains are proven. A new operator allowing partitioning the full lattice in intervals derived from lower dimensional sub-lattices is introduced. Special posets underlying an interval of antichains are defined. The poset allows the derivation of a powerful formula for the size of an interval. This formula allows computing intervals in the six dimensional space. Combinatorial coefficients allowing another decomposition of the full lattice are defined. In some specific cases, related to connected components in graphs, these coefficients can be efficiently computed. This formula allows computing the size of the lattice of order 8 efficiently. This size is the number of Dedekind of order 8, the largest one known so far.
