Abstract

It is shown that every partially ordered set with n elements admits an endomorphism with an image of a size at least n1/7 but smaller than n. We also prove that there exists a partially ordered set with n elements such that each of its non-trivial endomorphisms has an image of size O((n log n)1/3).
