On lexicographically shellable posets

Abstract
Lexicographically shellable partially ordered sets are studied. A new recursive formulation of CL {\text {CL}} -shellability is introduced and exploited. It is shown that face lattices of convex polytopes, totally semimodular posets, posets of injective and normal words and lattices of bilinear forms are CL {\text {CL}} -shellable. Finally, it is shown that several common operations on graded posets preserve shellability and CL {\text {CL}} -shellability.
