For
1
≤
i
≤
n
/2
, the inclusion
graph
between ranks
i
−
1
and
i
of
P
([
n
])
has a
matching saturating rank
i
−
1
. Indeed, each lower
vertex
has degree
n
−
i
+
1
, each upper
vertex
has degree
i
, and edge
counting
gives
(
n
−
i
+
1
)
∣
A
∣
≤
i
∣
N
(
A
)
∣

for every family
A
in the lower rank. This verifies the condition of the
Hall marriage theorem
.
