E - Element typepublic class PartiallyOrderedSet<E> extends AbstractSet<E>
When you create a partially-ordered set ('poset' for short) you must
provide an PartiallyOrderedSet.Ordering that determines the order relation. The
ordering must be:
Note that not all pairs of elements are related. If is OK if e.lte(f) returns false and f.lte(e) returns false also.
In addition to the usual set methods, there are methods to determine the immediate parents and children of an element in the set, and method to find all elements which have no parents or no children (i.e. "root" and "leaf" elements).
A lattice is a special kind of poset where there is a unique top and bottom element. You can use a PartiallyOrderedSet for a lattice also. It may be helpful to add the top and bottom elements to the poset on construction.
