It is known that the "pattern containment" order on permutations is not a partial well-order. Nevertheless, many naturally defined subsets of permutations are partially ...
The flow set with partial order is a mixed-integer set described by a budget on total flow and a partial order on the arcs that may carry positive flow. This set is a common substr...
Abstract Given a collection of individual preferences defined on a same finite set of candidates, we consider the problem of aggregating them into a collective preference minimizin...
We recall the notions of weak and strong Euler characteristics on a first order structure and make explicit the notion of a Grothendieck ring of a structure. We define partially or...
Abstract. A pattern class is a set of permutations closed under pattern involvement or, equivalently, defined by certain subsequence avoidance conditions. Any pattern class X which...
