Abstract

We give a data structure for storing an n-element poset of width w in essentially minimal space. We then show how this data structure supports the most interesting queries on posets in either constant time, or in time that depends only on w and the size of the in-/output, but not on n. Our results also have direct applicability to DAGs of low width.
