Minimum number of $|\cdot|$ operations necessary to express $\max$

This is just a tighter analysis of the analysis from @GH from MO. Let $f(n)$ be the minimum number of $|\cdot|$ operations to compute $\max(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$. Then $f(1)=0$ and for $n\geq 1$: $$f(n)\ …

Upper bound $\sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{j=1}^n p_{i,j}(1-p_{i,j})$

Let $$p_{i,j} = \frac{\sum_{l=i}^{i+j-1} {l-1 \choose i-1} {m+n-l \choose m-i}}{{m+n \choose n}}$$ I am interested in approximating/upper bounding the sum $$ \sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{j=1}^n p_{i,j}(1-p_{i,j …

Intuition on inequality in proving a bound on the sum of squares of degrees of a graph

Given a simple connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, let $d_1, ..., d_n$ denote the degrees of the vertices of the graph. In this very short paper, the author prove the inequality $$\su …

Expected height of a poset?

I am interested in any known results/empirical studies done on the average height of a poset with $N$ elements. Obviously this would depend on how that poset relation was randomly defined, however, at …
