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)∣
(1)
for every family A in the lower rank. This verifies the condition of the Hall marriage theorem.
