Abstract
In this paper we begin with the basics of multisets and their operations introduced in[5, 22]and define a multiset relation, an
equivalence multiset relation and explore some of their basic
properties. We also define a partially ordered multiset as a multiset
relation being reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive, chains and
antichains of a partially ordered multiset, and extend Dilworth's
Theorems for partially ordered sets in the context of partially
ordered multisets.
Keywords
multisets; multiset relations; equivalence multiset relations; ordering of multisets; partially ordered multisets; chains and antichains of partially ordered multisets
