In computational complexity theory, the set splitting problem is the following decision problem: given a family F of subsets of a finite set S, decide whether there exists a partition of S into two subsets S 1, S 2 such that all elements of F are split by this partition, i.e., none of the elements of F is completely in S 1 or S 2.
Disjoint-set data structures [9] and partition refinement [10] are two techniques in computer science for efficiently maintaining partitions of a set subject to, respectively, union operations that merge two sets or refinement operations that split one set into two. A disjoint union may mean one of two things. Most simply, it may mean the union ...
A cut C = (S, T) is a partition of V of a graph G = (V, E) into two subsets S and T. The cut-set of a cut C = (S, T) is the set {(u, v) ∈ E | u ∈ S, v ∈ T} of edges that have one endpoint in S and the other endpoint in T. If s and t are specified vertices of the graph G, then an s – t cut is a cut in which s belongs to the set S and t ...
"Can a ball be decomposed into a finite number of point sets and reassembled into two balls identical to the original?" The Banach–Tarski paradox is a theorem in set-theoretic geometry, which states the following: Given a solid ball in three-dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different ...
The proof of Cover's counting function theorem can be obtained from the recursive relation (+,) = (,) + (,).To show that, with fixed , increasing may turn a set of points from non-separable to separable, a deterministic mapping may be used: suppose there are points.
Therefore, the remaining 3-sets can be partitioned into two groups: n 3-sets containing the items u ij, and n 3-sets containing the items u ij '. In each matching pair of 3-sets, the sum of the two pairing items u ij +u ij ' is 44T+4, so the sum of the four regular items is 84T+4. Therefore, from the four regular items, we construct a 4-set in ...
A split graph may have more than one partition into a clique and an independent set; for instance, the path a–b–c is a split graph, the vertices of which can be partitioned in three different ways: the clique {a, b} and the independent set {c} the clique {b, c} and the independent set {a} the clique {b} and the independent set {a, c}
In an arbitrary undirected graph, one may define a convex set to be a set of vertices that includes every induced path connecting a pair of vertices in the set. With this definition, every set of ω + 1 vertices in the graph can be partitioned into two subsets whose convex hulls intersect, and ω + 1 is the minimum number for which this is ...
