We show that there are planar posets whose queue-number is larger than their height, refuting the second conjecture. On the other hand, we show that any poset of width $2$ has queue-number at most $2$, thus confirming the first conjecture in the first non-trivial case. Moreover, we improve the previously best known bounds and show that planar posets of width $w$ have queue-number at most $3w-2$ while any planar poset with $0$ and $1$ has queue-number at most its width.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-12T13:18:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C10", "06A07" ], "keywords": [ "planar poset", "queue-number", "first non-trivial case", "second conjecture", "first conjecture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
