The concept of the strong Hom-scheme is introduced. In the case of existence, a strong Hom-scheme from $R$ to $S$ defines a one-to-one mapping $\\rho_P : H(P,R) \\rightarrow H(P,S)$ for every poset $P \\in P_r$, where $P_r$ is a representation system of the non-isomorphic finite posets. By postulating regularity conditions for the way, how a strong Hom-scheme maps the elements of $H(P,R)$ to the elements of $H(P,S)$, the strong I-scheme from $R$ to $S$ is defined. The existence of a strong I-scheme from $R$ to $S$ turns out to be equivalent to the existence of a one-to-one homomorphism $\\epsilon$ between the so-called EV-systems of $R$ and $S$, where $\\epsilon$ has to fulfill an additional condition. Methods are developed which allow - in many cases - for given finite posets $R$ and $S$, the proof of the relation \"$\\# H(P,R) \\leq \\# H(P,S)$ for every finite poset $P$\" or the refutation of this relation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-27T16:00:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "06A07", "06A06" ], "keywords": [ "generalized one-to-one mappings", "order homomorphisms", "strong i-scheme", "non-isomorphic finite posets", "strong hom-scheme maps" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
