چکیده

We consider the problem of minimizing the size of a family of sets G such that every subset of {1, . . . , n} can be written as a disjoint union of at most k members of G, where k and n are given numbers. This problem originates in a real-world application aiming at the diversity of industrial production. At the same time, the question of finding the minimum of |G| so that every subset of {1, . . . , n} is the union of two sets in G was asked by Erdős and studied recently by Füredi and Katona without requiring the disjointness of the sets. A simple construction providing a feasible solution is conjectured to be optimal for this problem for all values of n and k and regardless of the disjointness requirement; we prove this conjecture in special cases including all (n, k) for which n 3k holds, and some individual values of n and k.

Resource-bounded measure on probabilistic classes

We extend Lutz’s resource-bounded measure to probabilistic classes, and obtain notions of resource-bounded measure on probabilistic complexity classes such as BPE and BPEXP. Unlike former attempts, our resource bounded measure notions satisfy all three basic measure properties, that is every singleton {L} has measure zero, the whole space has measure one, and “enumerable infinite unions” of mea...

FUZZY BOUNDED SETS AND TOTALLY FUZZY BOUNDED SETS IN I-TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES

In this paper, a new definition of fuzzy bounded sets and totallyfuzzy bounded sets is introduced and properties of such sets are studied. Thena relation between totally fuzzy bounded sets and N-compactness is discussed.Finally, a geometric characterization for fuzzy totally bounded sets in I- topologicalvector spaces is derived.

On lattice of basic z-ideals

  For an f-ring  with bounded inversion property, we show that   , the set of all basic z-ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Also, whenever  is a semiprimitive ring, , the set of all basic -ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Next, for an f-ring  with bounded inversion property, we prove that  is a complemented...

Comparisons of Sidon and I0 Sets

(1) Bd(E) and B(E) are isometrically isomorphic for finite E ⊂ Γ. Bd(E) = `∞(E) characterizes I0 sets E and B(E) = `∞(E) characterizes Sidon sets E. [In general, Sidon sets are distinct from I0 sets. Within the group of integers Z, the set {2}n ⋃ {2+n}n is helsonian (hence Sidon) but not I0.] (2) Both are Fσ in 2 (as is also the class of finite unions of I0 sets). (3) There is an analogue for I...
