The task of finding minimal elements of a partially ordered set is a generalization of the task of finding the global minimum of a real-valued function or of finding Pareto-optimal...
Computing the minimal elements of a partially ordered finite set (poset) is a fundamental problem in combinatorics with numerous applications such as polynomial expression optimiz...

: We consider a problem of searching an element in a partially ordered set (poset). The goal is to find a search strategy which minimizes the number of comparisons. Ben-Asher, Farc...
Classical problems of sorting and searching assume an underlying linear ordering of the objects being compared. In this paper, we study a more general setting, in which some pairs...

We address the extension of the binary search technique from sorted arrays and totally ordered sets to trees and tree-like partially ordered sets. As in the sorted array case, the...
