Abstract
This article is dedicated to Professor Endre Szemerédi on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Among his many remarkable contributions to combinatorial mathematics and theoretical computer science is a jewel for online problems for partially ordered sets: the fact that h(h + l)/2 antichains are required for an online antichain partition of a poset of height h.
