Füredi's equi-sized chain partition conjecture for the Boolean lattice
Füredi's equi-sized chain partition conjecture for the Boolean lattice
Let denote the Boolean lattice of subsets of , and let a chain be a subset whose elements are pairwise comparable by inclusion. For a positive integer , set
Füredi's conjecture. For every positive integer , the Boolean lattice can be partitioned into chains such that the size of each chain is or .
If true, this would give a partition into chains of size . The conjecture remains open; a weaker result gives a partition into the same number of chains whose sizes lie between and .
