Abstract
Families of maps on the lattice of all antichains of a finite
bounded poset that extend the blocker, deletion, and contraction
maps on clutters are considered. Influence of the parameters of
the maps is investigated. Order-theoretic extensions of some
principal relations for the set-theoretic blocker, deletion, and
contraction maps on clutters are presented.
