Partially ordered set

In mathematics, especially order theory, a partially ordered set (also poset) formalizes and generalizes the intuitive concept of an ordering, sequencing, or arrangement of the elements of a set. A poset consists of a set together with a binary relation indicating that, for certain pairs of elements in the set, one of the elements precedes the other in the ordering. The relation itself is called a "partial order." The word partial in the names "partial order" and "partially ordered set" is used as an indication that not every pair of elements needs to be comparable. That is, there may be pairs of elements for which neither element precedes the other in the poset. Partial orders thus generalize total orders, in which every pair is comparable. (Wikipedia).

15 Properties of partially ordered sets

When a relation induces a partial ordering of a set, that set has certain properties with respect to the reflexive, (anti)-symmetric, and transitive properties.

14 Ordering of sets

The elements of a set can be ordered by a relation. Some relation cause proper ordering and some, partial ordering. Have a look at some examples.

Set Theory 1.4 : Well Orders, Order Isomorphisms, and Ordinals

In this video, I introduce well ordered sets and order isomorphisms, as well as segments. I use these new ideas to prove that all well ordered sets are order isomorphic to some ordinal. Email : fematikaqna@gmail.com Discord: https://discord.gg/ePatnjV Subreddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/

Set Theory (Part 11): Ordering of the Natural Numbers

Please feel free to leave comments/questions on the video and practice problems below! In this video, we utilize the definition of natural number to speak of ordering on the set of all natural numbers. In addition, the well-ordering principle and trichotomy law are proved.

BM7. Binary Relations

Note: as noted below, 'equals' is an anti-symmetric relation. But, in practice, intuition for partially ordered sets starts with "less than or equals." Basic Methods: We define the Cartesian product of two sets X and Y and use this to define binary relations on X. We explain the propert

MATH1081 Discrete Maths: Chapter 2 Question 26

Here we look at a question about partially ordered set. We are given a set A consists positive integers, and for two numbers a and b in A, a is related to b if and only if a is a factor of b . Presented by Peter Brown of the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, UNSW.
