Cobweb multi-blocks:

KoDAGs multi-blocks This applet draws all multi-blocks of the form σPk,n-k of layer <Φ1 → Φn>. These blocks contain two blocks σPk (red points) and σPn-k (blue points). We can imagine them as a subsets X of N, such that red points belong to subset X and blue points don't.

Cobweb posets tiling process:

Drawing Cobweb Poset's applet This applet draws a Hasse diagram of Cobweb sub-poset levels and generates the partition of any layer <Φk → Φn> for the Natural numbers and the Fibonacci numbers. There are more different partitions of certain layer, but we know that exists at least one and this applet generates and draws them.

Cobweb Poset's drawing applet:

Drawing Cobweb Poset's applet This applet draws finite Cobweb sub-posets defined by some sequences like the Natural numbers, the Fibonacci numbers and others.

In future I'm going to publish here the applet which will show certain partitioned layer with help of max-disjoint blocks of the form σPm (Tiling Problem from [1, 2])

(2) KoDAGs problems (Open Problems)

A few of un-solved (still?) problems concern cobweb posets (KoDAGs):

  1. Tiling problem - Find formula for the number of tilings of certain layer (see [md3,md4])
  2. Tiling problem - Is Tiling problem a NP-complete problem? (see [md3,md4])
  3. Tiling sequences - Define family of All cobweb-tiling sequences (see [md3,md4])
  4. Incidence Algebra - Is there a poset, such that F-nomial coefficients are its Whitney numbers of second kind? (Prof.A.K.Kwasniewski problem [???])

If you are interested to solve one of them and need some additional information, do not hesitate to contact me.

(4) Additionals pages about Cobweb Posets

  • Cobweb posets sequences map - map of Cobweb Admissible sequences, Cobweb Tiling and GCD-morphic sequences.

  • Cobweb poset's drawing applet - applet in java which draws the Cobweb poset' Hasse diagram

  • On tiling method - on the method of partitions production of any layer for the Natural and Fibonacci numbers. This method gives us exactly one partition of certain layer.
