{"product_id":"finite-ordered-sets-nathalie-caspard-9781107013698","title":"Finite Ordered Sets: Concepts, Results and Uses","description":"Ordered sets are ubiquitous in mathematics and have significant applications in computer science, statistics, biology and the social sciences. As the first book to deal exclusively with finite ordered sets, this book will be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in all of these areas. Beginning with definitions of key concepts and fundamental results (Dilworth's and Sperner's theorem, interval and semiorders, Galois connection, duality with distributive lattices, coding and dimension theory), the authors then present applications of these structures in fields such as preference modelling and aggregation, operational research and management, cluster and concept analysis, and data mining. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter with helpful hints provided for some of the most difficult examples. The authors also point to further topics of ongoing research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathalie Caspard, Bruno Leclerc, Bernard Monjardet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107013690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107013698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Nathalie Caspard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924029702399,"sku":"9781107013698","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1c84b369-e3b3-498c-82c6-f5307efb31e4.jpg?v=1681068065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finite-ordered-sets-nathalie-caspard-9781107013698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
