摘要
Let Q be a convex solid in R(n), partitioned into two volumes u and v by an area s. We show that s > min(u, v)/diam Q, and use this inequality to obtain the lower bound n-5/2 on the conductance of order Markov chains, which describe nearly uniform generators of linear extensions for posets of size n. We also discuss an application of the above results to the problem of sorting of posets.
