==Definition==
Consider ''P'' and ''Q'', two partially ordered sets.  The series composition of ''P'' and ''Q'', written {{nowrap|''P''; ''Q''}},<ref name="accdc"/> {{nowrap|''P'' * ''Q''}},<ref name="m"/> or  {{nowrap|''P'' ⧀ ''Q''}},<ref name="bgr"/>is the partially ordered set whose elements are the [[disjoint union]] of the elements of ''P'' and ''Q''.  In {{nowrap|''P''; ''Q''}}, two elements ''x'' and ''y'' that both belong to ''P'' or that both belong to ''Q'' have the same order relation that they do in ''P'' or ''Q'' respectively. However, for every pair ''x'', ''y'' where ''x'' belongs to ''P'' and ''y'' belongs to ''Q'', there is an additional order relation {{nowrap|''x'' ≤ ''y''}} in the series composition.  Series composition is an [[associative operation]]: one can write {{nowrap|''P''; ''Q''; ''R''}} as the series composition of three orders, without ambiguity about how to combine them pairwise, because both of the parenthesizations {{nowrap|(''P''; ''Q''); ''R''}} and {{nowrap|''P''; (''Q''; ''R'')}} describe the same partial order. However, it is not a [[commutative operation]], because switching the roles of ''P'' and ''Q'' will produce a different partial order that reverses the order relations of pairs with one element in ''P'' and one in ''Q''.<ref name="bgr"/>
 
The parallel composition of ''P'' and ''Q'', written ''P''&nbsp;||&nbsp;''Q'',<ref name="accdc"/> {{nowrap|''P'' + ''Q''}},<ref name="m"/> or {{nowrap|''P'' ⊕ ''Q''}},<ref name="bgr"/> is defined similarly, from the disjoint union of the elements in ''P'' and the elements in ''Q'', with pairs of elements that both belong to ''P'' or both to ''Q'' having the same order as they do in ''P'' or ''Q'' respectively. In ''P''&nbsp;||&nbsp;''Q'', a pair ''x'', ''y'' is incomparable whenever ''x'' belongs to ''P'' and ''y'' belongs to ''Q''. Parallel composition is both commutative and associative.<ref name="bgr"/>
 
The class of series-parallel partial orders is the set of partial orders that can be built up from single-element partial orders using these two operations. Equivalently, it is the smallest set of partial orders that includes the single-element partial order and is [[Closure (mathematics)|closed]] under the series and parallel composition operations.<ref name="bgr"/><ref name="m"/>
 
A [[weak order]] is the series parallel partial order obtained from a sequence of composition operations in which all of the parallel compositions are performed first, and then the results of these compositions are combined using only series compositions.<ref name="m"/>
 
==Forbidden suborder characterization==
The partial order ''N'' with the four elements ''a'', ''b'', ''c'', and ''d'' and the three order relations {{nowrap|''a'' ≤ ''b'' ≥ ''c'' ≤ ''d''}} is an example of a [[Fence (mathematics)|fence]] or zigzag poset; its [[Hasse diagram]] has the shape of the capital letter "N". It is not series-parallel, because there is no way of splitting it into the series or parallel composition of two smaller partial orders. A partial order ''P'' is said to be N-free if there does not exist a set of four elements in ''P'' such that the restriction of ''P'' to those elements is order-isomorphic to ''N''. The series-parallel partial orders are exactly the nonempty finite N-free partial orders.<ref name="bgr"/><ref name="m"/><ref name="vtl"/>
 
It follows immediately from this (although it can also be proven directly) that any nonempty restriction of a series-parallel partial order is itself a series-parallel partial order.<ref name="bgr"/>
 
==Order dimension==
The [[order dimension]] of a partial order ''P'' is the minimum size of a realizer of ''P'', a set of [[linear extension]]s of ''P'' with the property that, for every two distinct elements ''x'' and ''y'' of ''P'', {{nowrap|''x'' ≤ ''y''}} in ''P'' if and only if ''x'' has an earlier position than ''y'' in every linear extension of the realizer. Series-parallel partial orders have order dimension at most two. If ''P'' and ''Q'' have realizers {''L''<sub>1</sub>,&nbsp;''L''<sub>2</sub>} and {''L''<sub>3</sub>,&nbsp;''L''<sub>4</sub>}, respectively, then {''L''<sub>1</sub>''L''<sub>3</sub>,&nbsp;''L''<sub>2</sub>''L''<sub>4</sub>} is a realizer of the series composition {{nowrap|''P''; ''Q''}}, and {''L''<sub>1</sub>''L''<sub>3</sub>,&nbsp;''L''<sub>4</sub>''L''<sub>2</sub>} is a realizer of the parallel composition ''P''&nbsp;||&nbsp;''Q''.<ref name="m"/><ref name="vtl"/> A partial order is series-parallel if and only if it has a realizer in which one of the two permutations is the identity and the other is a [[separable permutation]].
 
It is known that a partial order ''P'' has order dimension two if and only if there exists a conjugate order ''Q'' on the same elements, with the property that any two distinct elements ''x'' and ''y'' are comparable on exactly one of these two orders. In the case of series parallel partial orders, a conjugate order that is itself series parallel may be obtained by performing a sequence of composition operations in the same order as the ones defining ''P'' on the same elements, but performing a series composition for each parallel composition in the decomposition of ''P'' and vice versa. More strongly, although a partial order may have many different conjugates, every conjugate of a series parallel partial order must itself be series parallel.<ref name="m"/>
 
==Connections to graph theory==
Any partial order may be represented (usually in more than one way) by a [[directed acyclic graph]] in which there is a path from ''x'' to ''y'' whenever ''x'' and ''y'' are elements of the partial order with {{nowrap|''x'' ≤ ''y''}}. The graphs that represent series-parallel partial orders in this way have been called vertex series parallel graphs, and their [[transitive reduction]]s (the graphs of the [[covering relation]]s of the partial order) are called minimal vertex series parallel graphs.<ref name="vtl"/> Directed trees and (two-terminal) [[series parallel graph]]s are examples of minimal vertex series parallel graphs; therefore, series parallel partial orders may be used to represent reachability relations in directed trees and series parallel graphs.<ref name="m"/><ref name="vtl"/>
 
The [[comparability graph]] of a partial order is the [[undirected graph]] with a vertex for each element and an undirected edge for each pair of distinct elements ''x'', ''y'' with either {{nowrap|''x'' ≤ ''y''}} or {{nowrap|''y'' ≤ ''x''}}. That is, it is formed from a minimal vertex series parallel graph by forgetting the [[orientation (graph theory)|orientation]] of each edge. The comparability graph of a series-partial order is a [[cograph]]: the series and parallel composition operations of the partial order give rise to operations on the comparability graph that form the disjoint union of two subgraphs or that connect two subgraphs by all possible edges; these two operations are the basic operations from which cographs are defined. Conversely, every cograph is the comparability graph of a series-parallel partial order. If a partial order has a cograph as its comparability graph, then it must be a series-parallel partial order, because every other kind of partial order has an N suborder that would correspond to an induced four-vertex path in its comparability graph, and such paths are forbidden in cographs.<ref name="m"/><ref name="j"/>
 
==Computational complexity==
It is possible to use the forbidden suborder characterization of series-parallel partial orders as a basis for an algorithm that tests whether a given binary relation is a series-parallel partial order, in an amount of time that is linear in the number of related pairs.<ref name="m"/><ref name="vtl"/> Alternatively, if a partial order is described as the [[reachability]] order of a [[directed acyclic graph]], it is possible to test whether it is a series-parallel partial order, and if so compute its transitive closure, in time proportional to the number of vertices and edges in the transitive closure; it remains open whether the time to recognizer series-parallel reachability orders can be improved to be linear in the size of the input graph.<ref>{{citation

If a series-parallel partial order is represented as an [[expression tree]] describing the series and parallel composition operations that formed it, then the elements of the partial order may be represented by the leaves of the expression tree. A comparison between any two elements may be performed algorithmically by searching for the [[lowest common ancestor]] of the corresponding two leaves; if that ancestor is a parallel composition, the two elements are incomparable, and otherwise the order of the series composition operands determines the order of the elements. In this way, a series-parallel partial order on ''n'' elements may be represented in O(''n'') space with O(1) time to determine any comparison value.<ref name="m"/>
 
It is [[NP-complete]] to test, for two given series-parallel partial orders ''P'' and ''Q'', whether ''P'' contains a restriction isomorphic to ''Q''.<ref name="vtl"/>
 
Although the problem of counting the number of linear extensions of an arbitrary partial order is [[Sharp-P-complete|#P-complete]],<ref>{{citation

| title = Counting linear extensions
| volume = 8
| year = 1991}}.</ref> it may be solved in polynomial time for series-parallel partial orders. Specifically, if ''L''(''P'') denotes the number of linear extensions of a partial order ''P'', then ''L''(''P''; ''Q'') = ''L''(''P'')''L''(''Q'') and
:<math>L(P||Q)=\frac{(|P|+|Q|)!}{|P|!|Q|!} L(P)L(Q),</math>
so the number of linear extensions may be calculated using an expression tree with the same form as the decomposition tree of the given series-parallel order.<ref name="m"/>
 
==Applications==

While I recognize that a lot of people use knives for self defense, hence its mention in this article, I don’t usually recommend a knife as a self protection instrument in untrained palms. For that reason, I can't be recommending any knives specific to this use in this article. For a self defense suggestion, I suggest pepper spray, as it will probably shortly and non-lethally disable a number of attackers from a distance and is troublesome to show and use against you. I'll yield self defense knife suggestions to people who have the appropriate training in this area. A Quick Phrase About Features

Apart from the above, another idea is to use an empty dry soda bottle, empty paper towel roll and a straw. Cut a portion out of the paper towel and stuff it on the opening of the bottle so that there's only space for straw to cross by means of. Put some jelly inside the straw. Flies attempt to crawl inside World's Best Throwing Knives the straw and get entangled within the jelly. In some cases, a mixture of sugar and cleaning soap collectively make a very good bait to catch greater flies. The smell of sugar instantly attracts the flies and the cleaning soap greases the wings thereby making the fly drown within the solution.

The main goal behind getting the EAB was blade economy. My blade philosophy is to all the time save my primary blade for final. I suck at sharpening and don’t want to further smash a blade in an emergency rubbing on a stone. So this gives me a really tiny blade to do small everyday tasks. I’ve carried this to work in addition to my Kershaw skyline earlier online knife store than utilizing the EAB to open bins, lower cardboard and another chopping tasks and save the Skyline for emergencies or self-protection. Within the role of additional EDC it excels. I'd not choose this to be my foremost and only carry choice nevertheless.

Gerber’s Bear Grylls Survival Series Scout Knife places you proper at the twenty greenback, shipped value point on Amazon.com. It's a small, lightweight design that is big enough to actually reduce stuff, but small and light sufficient to hold properly in your pocket. Although it has “Survival” in the name, this can be a lightweight knife. One of the tradeoffs with keeping the load low and the worth down is that the deal with doesn't have any sort of a metallic liner. It is largely constituted of the plastic scales on the perimeters.

There are various Montessori manipulatives for all ages. It is value trying at the ones you are interested in and seeing if there's a simple solution to copy it at dwelling. For a lot of of them there are easy hand-crafted alternatives. The dressing frames for example are very merely to make yourself. Just take previous photograph frames and remove the glass and many others. Make up the closure you want, whether a zipper, velcro, buttons and so on and then connect to the wooden body with strong glue or staples. You have to to have entry to sewing materials to do this. So i couldn't see to purchasing these.

Spyderco has made a reputation for itself by releasing uniquely designed, ergonomic knives which might be appreciated by enthusiasts all over the world. The Spyderco Tenacious has the widest blade of all the knives on this list. The stainless steel blade is flat and leaf-shaped. The Spyderco Tenacious incorporates a liner lock mechanism that locks the blade in place when it's opened. With somewhat software of strain on the lock mechanism, you may shut the blade again with no effort. The G10 handle is solid and sleekly adapted to fit comfortably in your palm.

This celebrity couple is close to a last agreement over how all the things - together with the child/ren - goes to be divided in the divorce. Nevertheless, the spouse's authorized crew is having her maintain one chip in her pocket for the divorce trial. If the husband's team tries any final-minute maneuvering, the spouse just isn't afraid to disclose an incident where she (together with their baby/ren) caught her husband in bed with a family pal of theirs.
