For a finite poset $P$ the chain polytope $\mathscr C(P)\subset\mathbb{R}^P$ consists of such $g$ that $g(p)\ge 0$ for all $p\in P$ and $$g(p_1)+\ldots+g(p_n)\le 1$$ for any chain $p_1<\ldots<...

Let $P$ be a poset, or partially ordered set. Let $\le$ denote the reflexive order on $P$, and $<$ the corresponding irreflexive order. Let the phrase "a maximal pair" in $P$ refer to an ordered ...
