  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 ...

  3. Laminar set family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar_set_family

    In combinatorics, a laminar set family is a set family in which each pair of sets are either disjoint or related by containment. [1] [2] Formally, a set family {S 1, S 2, ...} is called laminar if for every i, j, the intersection of S i and S j is either empty, or equals S i, or equals S j. Let E be a ground-set of elements.

  4. Digon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digon

    A regular digon has both angles equal and both sides equal and is represented by Schläfli symbol {2}. It may be constructed on a sphere as a pair of 180 degree arcs connecting antipodal points, when it forms a lune. The digon is the simplest abstract polytope of rank 2. A truncated digon, t{2} is a square, {4}. An alternated digon, h{2} is a ...

  6. Dissection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissection_problem

    The Bolyai–Gerwien theorem states that any polygon may be dissected into any other polygon of the same area, using interior-disjoint polygonal pieces. It is not true, however, that any polyhedron has a dissection into any other polyhedron of the same volume using polyhedral pieces (see Dehn invariant ).

  7. Convex set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_set

    [1] [2] For example, a solid cube is a convex set, but anything that is hollow or has an indent, for example, a crescent shape, is not convex. The boundary of a convex set in the plane is always a convex curve. The intersection of all the convex sets that contain a given subset A of Euclidean space is called the convex hull of A.

  8. Set packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_packing

    Set packing is a classical NP-complete problem in computational complexity theory and combinatorics, and was one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems. Suppose one has a finite set S and a list of subsets of S. Then, the set packing problem asks if some k subsets in the list are pairwise disjoint (in other words, no two of them share an element).
