5.3The Blocker Map and the Complementary Map on Antichains

In this section we regard the antichains of a finite bounded poset and their blockers as the elements of the lattice of antichains and as their images under the blocker map.

Let (P) denote the distributive lattice of all order filters (ordered by inclusion) of a finite bounded poset P, and let (P) denote the lattice of all antichains of P, where for two antichains A′, A″ ∈ (P) we set
