Determinants of matrices associated with incidence functions on posets

Shaofang Hong, Qi Sun (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let S = { x 1 , , x n } be a finite subset of a partially ordered set P . Let f be an incidence function of P . Let [ f ( x i x j ) ] denote the n × n matrix having f evaluated at the meet x i x j of x i and x j as its i , j -entry and [ f ( x i x j ) ] denote the n × n matrix having f evaluated at the join x i x j of x i and x j as its i , j -entry. The set S is said to be meet-closed if x i x j S for all 1 i , j n . In this paper we get explicit combinatorial formulas for the determinants of matrices [ f ( x i x j ) ] and [ f ( x i x j ) ] on any meet-closed set S . We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrices...
