Abstract:A set mapping on pairs over the set S is a function/ such that for each unordered pair a of elements of S,f(a) is a subset of 5 disjoint from a. A subset H of S is said to be free for/if x £ f{{y, z}) ' o r all x, y, z from H. In this paper, we investigate conditions imposed on the range of/which ensure that there is a large set free for/. For example, we show that if/is defined on a set of size K ++ with always \f(a)\ < K then/has a free set of size K + if the range of/satisfies the »c-chain condition, or if … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
