Partial order on a family of κ-subsets of a linearly ordered set

For k-subsets A,B of the rationals Q, define A≻nB if a>b holds for at least n ordered pairs (a,b)∈A×B, where k,n are integers, 1≤n≤k2. We prove that (1) the relation ≻n is transitive if and only if k2-k+1≤n, and (2) there is a cyclic sequence A1≻nA2≻n⋯≻ nAr≻nA1 of k-subsets of Q if and only if 1≤...
