Oct 20, 2011 at 6:50 comment added Suresh Venkat @KostiaAntoniuk: I see. but to be honest, your first question was very cryptic. This one makes more sense :)
Oct 20, 2011 at 6:33 comment added Kostia Antoniuk Jukka Suomela, I think your interpretation is correct.
Oct 20, 2011 at 6:29 comment added Kostia Antoniuk Suresh Venkat, I have already asked about this here in terms of finding such permutations to make the problem submodular one, but nobody gave answer on this. Thus, I decided to make such formulation, and as you see, there is some answer given by Yoshio Okamoto.

Oct 19, 2011 at 23:35 comment added Jukka Suomela Another interpretation might be this: can we permute the rows and columns of a matrix to make it "supermodular"? (Again, assuming that the "if and only if" part is wrong.)

we are not running out of letters yet; no need to use combinations of subscripts and primes...
Oct 19, 2011 at 23:05 comment added Yoshio Okamoto I'm concerned with "if and only if" in the REFORMULATION. For example, if g is a constant function, g is supermodular. But the condition in the REFORMULATION is not satisfied because for all 4-tuples (k1,k2,k1',k2') the inequality is satisfied (with equality).
Oct 19, 2011 at 22:55 comment added Suresh Venkat In fact I'd recommend changing the title given this observation.
Oct 19, 2011 at 22:33 comment added Suresh Venkat It's worth noting that in the lattice induced by the product order of $A_1$ and $A_2$, the point $(k_2, k'_2)$ is the meet of $(k_1, k'_2), (k_2, k'_1)$ and the point $(k_1, k'_1)$ is the join. So actually your condition is merely the definition of supermodularity for $g$. So rephrased, your question is: Is there a way, for any function $g$, to construct a product lattice from two total orders so that $g$ is supermodular ?

I modified the question so it can be clearer. I left the first question untouched in case my understanding of the meaning was wrong
Oct 19, 2011 at 17:53 comment added Gopi I have submitted an edit of the question so it is clearer (the way I understood it). If that was not the initial meaning of the question you can delete it: I have left your question untouched.
