Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a poset using the elements {A, B, C, D} such that you have at least two covers for one of the elements. Identify the covers and explain your structure.

💡 Hint: Consider how you can relate elements while keeping some independent.

Question 2

In a poset where X < Y and X < Z, if Y and Z are not related, identify the maximal elements. Then, determine if there can be a unique least element in this poset.

💡 Hint: Visualize a scenario where you can see independent relationships.
