What is a Partial Order? Some more defintions Let R be a relation on A. The R is a partial order iff R is: } If A,R is a poset and a,b are A, reflexive, antisymmetric, & transitive we say that: } A,R is called a partially ordered set or “poset” ● “a and b are comparable” if a b or b a } Notation: ◘ i.e. if a,b R and b,a R ● If A, R is a poset and a and b are 2 elements of A ● “a and b are incomparable” if neither a b nor b a such that a,b R, we write a b instead of aRb ◘ i.e if a,b R and b,a R } If two objects are always related in a poset it is called a total order, linear order or simple order. NOTE: it is not required that two things be related under a partial order. ● In this case A,R is called a chain. ● i.e if any two elements of A are comparable ● That’s the “partial” of it. ● So for all a,b A, it is true that a,b R or b,a R

1 Now onto more examples… More Examples Let A a,b,c,d and let R be the relation Let A 0,1,2,3 and on A represented by the diagraph Let R 0,0 1,1 , 2,0 , 2,2 , 2,3 3,3
The R is reflexive, but We draw the associated digraph: a b not antisymmetric a,c &
