  2. Disjoint sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint_sets

    Two disjoint sets. In set theory in mathematics and formal logic, two sets are said to be disjoint sets if they have no element in common. Equivalently, two disjoint sets are sets whose intersection is the empty set. [1] For example, {1, 2, 3} and {4, 5, 6} are disjoint sets, while {1, 2, 3} and {3, 4, 5} are not disjoint. A collection of two ...

    One set is said to intersect another set if . Sets that do not intersect are said to be disjoint . The power set of X {\displaystyle X} is the set of all subsets of X {\displaystyle X} and will be denoted by ℘ ( X ) = def { L : L ⊆ X } . {\displaystyle \wp (X)~{\stackrel {\scriptscriptstyle {\text{def}}}{=}}~\{~L~:~L\subseteq X~\}.}

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkman's_schoolgirl_problem

    In addition to S(2,3,9), Kramer and Mesner examined other systems that could be derived from S(5,6,12) and found that there could be up to 2 disjoint S(5,6,12) systems, up to 2 disjoint S(4,5,11) systems, and up to 5 disjoint S(3,4,10) systems. All such sets of 2 or 5 are respectively isomorphic to each other.

  5. Separated sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separated_sets

    A most basic way in which two sets can be separated is if they are disjoint, that is, if their intersection is the empty set. This property has nothing to do with topology as such, but only set theory. Each of the following properties is stricter than disjointness, incorporating some topological information.

  6. Partially ordered set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set

    Series-parallel partial orders are formed from the ordinal sum operation (in this context called series composition) and another operation called parallel composition. Parallel composition is the disjoint union of two partially ordered sets, with no order relation between elements of one set and elements of the other set.

  7. Bipartite graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_graph

    A complete bipartite graph with m = 5 and n = 3 The Heawood graph is bipartite.. In the mathematical field of graph theory, a bipartite graph (or bigraph) is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two disjoint and independent sets and , that is, every edge connects a vertex in to one in .

  8. Hyperplane separation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane_separation_theorem

    In geometry, the hyperplane separation theorem is a theorem about disjoint convex sets in n-dimensional Euclidean space.There are several rather similar versions. In one version of the theorem, if both these sets are closed and at least one of them is compact, then there is a hyperplane in between them and even two parallel hyperplanes in between them separated by a gap.

  9. Transversal (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(combinatorics)

    One can construct a bipartite graph in which the vertices on one side are the sets, the vertices on the other side are the elements, and the edges connect a set to the elements it contains. Then, a transversal (defined as a system of distinct representatives) is equivalent to a perfect matching in this graph.
