Abstract:
We prove comparability invariance results for three classes of ordered sets: bounded tolerance orders (equivalent to parallelogram orders), unit bitolerance orders (equivalent to point-core bitolerance orders) and unit tolerance orders (equivalent to 50% tolerance orders). Each proof uses a different technique and relies on the alternate characterization.
