We introduce the concept of complementary elements in ordered sets. If an ordered set is a lattice, this concept coincides with that for lattices. The connections between distributivity and the uniqueness of complements are shown and it is also shown that modular complemented ordered sets represents “geometries” which are more general than projective planes.
This paper deals with directly indecomposable direct factors of a directed set.
A concept of congruence preserving upper and lower bounds in a poset is introduced. If is a lattice, this concept coincides with the notion of lattice congruence.
A concept of equivalence preserving upper and lower bounds in a poset is introduced. If is a lattice, this concept coincides with the notion of lattice congruence.
V. I. Marmazejev introduced in [5] the following concept: two lattices are convex isomorphic if their lattices of all convex sublattices are isomorphic. He also gave a necessary and sufficient condition under which lattices are convex isomorphic, in particular for modular, distributive and complemented lattices. The aim of this paper is to generalize this concept to ordered sets and to characterize convex isomorphic ordered sets in the general case of modular, distributive or complemented ordered...
V. I. Marmazejev introduced in [3] the following concept: two lattices are convex isomorphic if their lattices of all convex sublattices are isomorphic. He also gave a necessary and sufficient condition under which the lattice are convex isomorphic, in particular for modular, distributive and complemented lattices. The aim this paper is to generalize this concept to the -lattices defined in [2] and to characterize the convex isomorphic -lattices.
By applying the solution of the internal direct product decomposition we investigate the relations between convex isomorphisms and direct product decompositions of directed multilattices.
The notion of convex set for subsets of lattices in one particular case was introduced in [1], where it was used to study Paretto's principle in the theory of group choice. This notion is based on a betweenness relation due to Glivenko [2]. Betweenness is used very widely in lattice theory as basis for lattice geometry (see [3], and, especially [4 part 1]).In the present paper the relative notions of convexity are considered for subsets of an arbitrary lattice.In section 1 certain relative notions...
