This page used to contain information from PlanetMath. However since the page in question does not make particularly much sense, I'm going do redo it entirely and remove the reference. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 11:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Polytopes need rank -1!

edit

HI! I have made your article "safe" for Polytopes, where our posets need dimension -1. This was already stated, I just tidied it up. By the way, Abstract Polytopes include some very "nasty" objects whose posets are not lattices. I have amended the article accordingly.

I removed "Face Lattices" from the Abstract Polytope in the examples, for the reasons given above. An abstract polytope is defined as a poset anyway. It doesn't have to be a lattice - but it does have to be graded. Personally, I would have preferred that an Abstract Polytope had been defined requiring it to be a lattice, and also atomistic, but we have to accept existing usage. The simplest non-lattice polytope is the Digon. SteveWoolf (talk) 20:16, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Product

edit

Is it true that the product of graded posets is also a graded poset? If so, I think it should be mentioned.Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (talk) 16:28, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Graded/ranked poset

edit

Unfortunately, there is no uniform nomenclature for graded and ranked posets, but it should be handled uniformly within Wikipedia, though. According to the current definition, the section "The usual case" fits better into the article about ranked posets. It should either be moved there or the definitions of graded and ranked posets should be interchanged (as for example in http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0012365X9400284P). --Maformatiker (talk) 10:21, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Strange reference "See reference [2], p.722."

edit

See reference [2], p.722. ... Where is the [2]?

Butler, Lynne M. (1994), Subgroup Lattices and Symmetric Functions = pages 1-156
Stanley, Richard (1997). Enumerative Combinatorics = last page = 324
Anderson, Ian (1987). Combinatorics of Finite Sets = last page = 250
Engel, Konrad (1997). Sperner Theory = last page = 417
Kung, Joseph P. S.; Rota, Gian-Carlo; Yan, Catherine H. (2009). Combinatorics: The Rota Way = last page = 396
Birkhoff: Lattice Theory = last page = 417

How and where I can find Brightwell's and West's definition?
