In this paper we study the latticeLnof partitions of an integernordered by dominance. We showLnto be isomorphic to an infimum subsemilattice under the component ordering of certain concave nondecreasing (n+1)-tuples. ForLn, we give the covering relation, maximal covering number, minimal chains, infimum and supremum irreducibles, a chain condition, distinguished intervals; and show that partition conjugation is a lattice antiautomorphism.Lnis shown to have no sublattice having five elements and rank two, and we characterize intervals generated by two cocovers. The Möbius function ofLnis computed and shown to be 0,1 or -1. We then give methods for studying classes of (0,1)-matrices with prescribed row and column sums and compute a lower bound for their cardinalities.
