What is Partially Ordered Set?  Let  S = {a,b,c} and A = P(S). Draw the Hasse diagram of the poset A with the partial order ⊆ (set inclusion).  

Ans: Let R be a relation defined on a non-empty set A. The mathematical structure (A, R) is set to be a Partial order set or poset if the relation R is a partial order relation on A. 

Any relation R defined on a non-empty set A is said to be a Partial Order Relation, if R is 

  • Reflexive on A i.e., xRx ∀ x∈ A
  • Anti-symmetric on A i.e., xRy and yRx ⇒ x = y and
  • Transitive on A i.e., xRy and yRz ⇒ xRz for x, y, z ∈ A.

A partial order relation is denoted by the symbol '≤'.  A general notation for a poset is (A, ≤), where A is any non-empty set and '≤' is any partial order relation defined on the set A.  The Hasse diagram for the poset (P(S),  ⊆) is as below. The poset has 8 elements - 8 possible subsets of S. Null set is the minimum element and S itself is the maximal element.
