If P and Q are partial orders, then the dimension of the cartesian product P x Q does not exceed the sum of the dimensions of P and Q. There are several known sufficient conditions for this bound to be attained, on the other hand, the only known lower bound for the dimension of a cartesian product i

Lin, C., The dimension of the Cartesian product of posets, Discrete Mathematics 88 (1991) 79-92.
We give a characterization of nonforced pairs in the Cartesian product of two posets, and apply this to determine the dimension of P X Q, where P, Q are some subposets of 2" and 2" respectively. One of our results is dim Si x 5': = n + m -2 for n, m 3 3. This generalizes Trotter's result in [5], where he showed that dimSi x St = 2n -2. We also disprove the following conjecture 121: If P, Q are two posets and 0,l E P, then dim P X Q 2 dim P + dim Q -1.

## Abstract We show that every simple, (weakly) connected, possibly directed and infinite, hypergraph has a unique prime factor decomposition with respect to the (weak) Cartesian product, even if it has infinitely many factors. This generalizes previous results for graphs and undirected hypergraphs
## Abstract This article proves the following result: Let __G__ and __G__โฒ be graphs of orders __n__ and __n__โฒ, respectively. Let __G__^\*^ be obtained from __G__ by adding to each vertex a set of __n__โฒ degree 1 neighbors. If __G__^\*^ has game coloring number __m__ and __G__โฒ has acyclic chromat
## Abstract A set __S__ of vertices is a determining set for a graph __G__ if every automorphism of __G__ is uniquely determined by its action on __S__. The determining number of __G__, denoted Det(__G__), is the size of a smallest determining set. This paper begins by proving that if __G__=__G__โกโ
The properties of certain sets called prefibers in a metric space are used to show that the algebraic properties of the Cartesian product of graphs generalize to metric spaces. Definition 1.1. (i) Let X = lJEIXi, for i E I, pri denotes the projection on Xi; for x E X, the i-fiber of X through x is
