The extended Stanley inequality for minimum positions of subsets
Let be a poset with elements. Fix a nonempty subset , and let be chosen uniformly from the set of linear extensions of . Write . Extended Stanley inequality. For ,
This extends Stanley's log-concavity inequality from the position of a single element to the minimum position attained on an arbitrary nonempty subset. The source presents it as a proposed extension; its resolution is not specified here.
