Fractional weak discrepancy and interval orders (Q1026149)

In this paper the authors generalize their former results of the range of the fractional weak discrepancy function and of the fractional weak discrepancy of posets and certain forbidden configurations on the range of the \(\text{wd}_F\) function for semiorders (interval orders with no induced \(3 + 1\)) to interval orders with no \(n + 1\), where \(n \geqslant 3\). They prove that the range for such poset \(P\) is the set of rationals that can be written as \(r/s\) where \(0 \leqslant s - 1 \leqslant r < \left( {n - 2} \right)s\).
