Sanehit Jain + Lesson 12 + SeptConversion of POSET into a Hasse Diagram
* If we want to study Partial order relation further then it will be better to convert
it into more convenient notation so that it can be studied easily.
* This graphical representation is called Hasse Diagram* In order theory, a Hasse diagram is a type of mathematical diagram used to
represent a finite partially ordered set, in the form of a drawing of its transitive
reduction.
* The diagrams are named after Helmut Hasse (1898-1979)Steps to convert partial
order relation into hasse
diagram
1- Draw a vertex for each
element in the Set
2- If (a, b) € R then draw an
edge from a to b
3- Remove all Reflexive and
Transitive edges
4- Remove the direction of
edges and arrange them in
the increasing order of
heights.
Q Consider a Partial order relation and
convert it into hasse diagram?
R = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,4), (1,8), (2,2), (2,4), (2,8),
(4,4), (4,8), (8,8)}Q Consider a Partial order relation and convert it into hasse diagram?
R= {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,6), (2,2), (2,6), (3,3), (3,6), (6,6)}BreakQ Study the following hasse diagram and find which of the
following are valid?(4)

Conclusion
* We can not have a horizontal edge in a hasse diagram
* We can not have a reflexive and transitive edge in Hasse DiagramQLet X = {2,3,6,12,24}, Let < be the partial order defined by X < Y if x
divides y. Number of edges as in the Hasse diagram of (X, <) is. (GATE-

related to any other element in the Partial order relation.

element(one or more).BreakGreatest Element: - An element is said to be Maximum/Greatest if it
is not related to any other element but every element is related to it
in Partial order relation. Or if a hasse diagram has only one Maximal
element then it will also be Maximum/Greatest element.
Least Element: - An element is said to be Minimum/Least if no other
element is related to it but it is related to every element Partial order
relation. Or if a hasse diagram has only one Minimal element then it
will also be Minimum/Least element.Minimal

A, will contain all those element to which all the elements of
B is related.
* Lower Bound: - lower bound of a subset B with respect to A,
will contain all those elements which are related to every
