Mirsky's Theorem
In mathematics, in the areas of order theory and combinatorics, Mirsky's theorem characterizes the height of any finite partially ordered set in terms of a partition of the order into a minimum number of antichains. It is named for and is closely related to Dilworth's theorem on the widths of partial orders, to the perfection of comparability graphs, to the Gallai–Hasse–Roy–Vitaver theorem relating longest paths and colorings in graphs, and to the Erdős–Szekeres theorem on monotonic subsequences. The theorem The height of a partially ordered set is defined to be the maximum cardinality of a chain, a totally ordered subset of the given partial order. For instance, in the set of positive integers from 1 to ''N'', ordered by divisibility, one of the largest chains consists of the powers of two that lie within that range, from which it follows that the height of this partial order is 1+\lfloor\log_2 N\rfloor. Mirsky's theorem states that, for every finite partially order ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mirsky's Worst Of The Web
Mirsky's Worst of the Web (WOTW) was a website devoted to showcasing what David Mirsky, a former ''Harvard Lampoon'' writer, considered "the worst web sites ever". WOTW was the first well-trafficked site to feature "bad" web sites for entertainment purposes. His commentary was short on constructive criticism and long on insulting the web site layout, content and graphics, and sometimes the web designers themselves. Website WOTW was created by Mirsky in January 1995, in response to sites such as Glenn Davis's ''Cool Site of the Day''. The format was simple: three days a week, Mirsky would select about three new sites, providing links and one-sentence comments that were "acidic, addictive, and insanely funny". For some time, at least, this was a paid job, supported by web service provider Volant. The site's tagline was "If it isn't Mirsky's then it isn't the worst!" An article about the site gives some of its flavor: According to several interviews, Mirsky expected WOTW to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
