Linear extensions and comparable pairs in partial orders

We study the number of linear extensions of a partial order with a given proportion of comparable pairs of elements, and estimate the maximum and minimum possible numbers. We also consider a random interval partial order on n elements, which has close to a third of the pairs comparable with high pro...
