Math Problem Statement

give me lattice questions , you have to give me the poset and the relation and i will draw the hasse diagram and verify wether its lattice or not

Solution

Here are five partially ordered sets (posets) along with their relations. You can use these to draw the Hasse diagrams and verify if they form a lattice:

1. Poset 1: Divisibility Relation

  • Set: P={1,2,4,8}P = \{1, 2, 4, 8\}
  • Relation: aba \leq b if aa divides bb

2. Poset 2: Subset Relation

  • Set: P={,{a},{b},{a,b}}P = \{\emptyset, \{a\}, \{b\}, \{a, b\}\}
  • Relation: ABA \leq B if ABA \subseteq B (subset relation)

3. Poset 3: Power Set of 3-Element Set

  • Set: P={,{x},{y},{z},{x,y},{x,z},{y,z},{x,y,z}}P = \{ \emptyset, \{x\}, \{y\}, \{z\}, \{x, y\}, \{x, z\}, \{y, z\}, \{x, y, z\} \}
  • Relation: ABA \leq B if ABA \subseteq B

4. Poset 4: Divisibility on Powers of 3

  • Set: P={1,3,9,27}P = \{1, 3, 9, 27\}
  • Relation: aba \leq b if aa divides bb

5. Poset 5: Custom Set with Binary Relation

  • Set: P={1,2,3,6}P = \{1, 2, 3, 6\}
  • Relation: aba \leq b if aa divides bb

After drawing the Hasse diagram, check if each poset is a lattice by verifying:

  1. Existence of least upper bound (join): For any two elements aa and bb, their least upper bound exists.
  2. Existence of greatest lower bound (meet): For any two elements aa and bb, their greatest lower bound exists.

Tip: Always check if the poset has a least element (0) and greatest element (1) for completeness.
