Diamond-free Families
Given a finite poset P, we consider the largest size La(n,P) of a family of
subsets of that contains no subposet P. This problem has
been studied intensively in recent years, and it is conjectured that exists for general posets P,
and, moreover, it is an integer. For let \D_k denote the -diamond
poset . We study the average number of times a random
full chain meets a -free family, called the Lubell function, and use it for
P=\D_k to determine \pi(\D_k) for infinitely many values . A stubborn
open problem is to show that \pi(\D_2)=2; here we make progress by proving
\pi(\D_2)\le 2 3/11 (if it exists).Comment: 16 page
