摘要
The aim of this paper is to classify order-preserving functions according to their arity gap. Noteworthy examples of order-preserving functions are the so-called aggregation functions. We first explicitly classify the Lovasz extensions of pseudo-Boolean functions according to their arity gap. Then we consider the class of order-preserving functions between partially ordered sets, and establish a similar explicit classification for this function class. (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
