Two general kinds of subsets of a partially ordered set P are always retracts of P:: (1) every maximal chain of P is a retract; (2) in P, every isometric, spanning subset of length one with no crowns is a retract. It follows that in a partially ordered set P with the fixed point property, every maxi
An important well-known result of Rota describes the relationship between the Mo bius functions of two posets related by a Galois connection. We present an analogous result relating the antipodes of the corresponding incidence Hopf algebras, from which the classical formula can be deduced. To motiva
The space of fuzzy sets on a compact metric space, with the sendograph metric for fuzzy sets, is shown to have the fixed point property. The relationship between absolute retracts and spaces of fuzzy sets is demonstrated. @
