Weak embeddings of posets to the Boolean lattice

The goal of this paper is to prove that several variants of deciding whether a poset can be (weakly) embedded into a small Boolean lattice, or to a few consecutive levels of a Boolean lattice, are NP-complete, answering a question of Griggs and of Patkos. As an equivalent reformulation of one of these problems, we also derive that it is NP-complete to decide whether a given graph can be embedded to the two middle levels of some hypercube

On Counting and Embedding a Subclass of Height-Balanced Trees

A height-balanced tree is a rooted binary tree in which, for every vertex v, the difference in the heights of the subtrees rooted at the left and right child of v (called the balance factor of v) is at most one. In this paper, we consider height-balanced trees in which the balance factor of every vertex beyond a level is 0. We prove that there are 22t-1 such trees and embed them into a generalized join of hypercubes
