Media type: E-Article Title: A separation decomposition for orders Contributor: Kämpke, Thomas imprint: Wiley, 1994 Published in: Networks Language: English DOI: 10.1002/net.3230240306 ISSN: 0028-3045; 1097-0037 Keywords: Computer Networks and Communications ; Hardware and Architecture ; Information Systems ; Software Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Several decomposition types of orders and related discrete structures have been investigated so far. In this paper, we present a decomposition for orders based on partial “ignoring” of the order. Structures that are in a certain sense “prime” turn out to be decomposable. The relation to other decomposition methods is analyzed. Bounds for activity networks and reliability functions are obtained. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.</jats:p>
