Generalizing the $A^A$ Problem for Finite Ordered Sets

Let X and Y be finite ordered sets and let $X^Y$ denote the ordered set of order-preserving maps from $Y$ to $X$. Let $t$ be a~term formed from a~single variable by exponentiation. We prove that, for every term $t$ with at most twelve variable occurrences and arbitrary finite ordered sets $A,B$, $t(A)\cong t(B)$ implie...
