flagChains -- computes the maximal chains in a list of flags of a ranked poset

Usage:

C = flagChains(P, L)
Inputs:
- P, an instance of the type Poset,
- L, a list, containing rank indices
Outputs:
- C, a list, all maximal chains of $P$ containing only elements in the flags indexed by $L$

Description

The flag chains of $P$ with respect to $L$ are exactly the maximalChains of the flagPoset of $P$ with respect to $L$.

i1 : D = divisorPoset(2^2*3*5);

i2 : rankFunction D

o2 = {0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4}

o2 : List

i3 : flagChains(D, {1,2,3})

o3 = {{2, 4, 12}, {2, 6, 12}, {3, 6, 12}, {2, 4, 20}, {2, 10, 20}, {5, 10,

     15, 30}}
