The \(1/3\)-\(2/3\) conjecture for \(N\)-free ordered sets
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 19 (2012) no. 2
A balanced pair in an ordered set $P=(V,\leq)$ is a pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $V$ such that the proportion of linear extensions of $P$ that put $x$ before $y$ is in the real interval $[1/3, 2/3]$. We prove that every finite $N$-free ordered set which is not totally ordered has a balanced pair.
