Covering sets by subsets

From MaRDI portal





Let to every element x of a finite set M be associated some nonempty subset M(x) of M in such a way that the implication \(y\in M(x)\Rightarrow x\in M(y)\) is fulfilled. We prove two upper estimations for the least number of sets M(x) which are necessary to cover M. Several applications to number theory are presented.
