Order configurations coordinatewise: means for every edge. Then stochastic domination is the condition
Equivalently, for every real-valued order-preserving function . The equivalence follows on this finite space by writing , up to an additive constant, as a nonnegative linear combination of indicators of its increasing upper level sets. A coupling of probability distributions supported on pairs with proves this domination; conversely such an ordered coupling of probability distributions exists on a finite partially ordered space.
