Colouring of Maximal $F$ -free Subsets

Bill Sands

For each finite poset $F$ with $∣ F ∣ > 1$ , $χ_{a c} (F)$ denotes the smallest integer $n$ (if it exists) such that the elements of every finite poset $P$ with $∣ P ∣ > 1$ can be coloure…

Dwight Duffus, Bill Sands

We consider the convex subset $[A, B]$ of all elements between two levels $A$ and $B$ of a finite distributive lattice, as a union of (or covered by) intervals $[a, b]$ . A 1988 resul…
