A finite partially ordered set (poset) P = (A, P) is called an interval or der if there is a 1 — 1 function which assigns to each element a; 6 A a closed interval [ax , bx ] of the real line R so that x < y in P if and only if bx < ay in R. For a poset (A, P), height (A, P) is the maximum number of points in a chain, while dim(A, P) is the dimension of (A, P), the minimum number of linear orders on A whose intersection is the partial order P. In 1972, I. Ra~ binovitch proved that the function f(n) = max{dim(A, P) : height (A, P) < n, P is an interval order} is defined and satisfies f{n) < [n + 1]. In this paper, we show that f(n) = lg lgn + (1/2 + o(l))(lg lg lgn). The proof techniques in clude establishing links between the dimension of interval orders, the chromatic number of shift graphs, and the classical problem of counting the number of antichains in the subset lattice.
