We say that two functions \(f,g\in{^\omega\omega}\) are eventually different (e.d.) iff \(| f\cap g|<\omega\). In this paper, we mainly discuss a problem asked by E. van Douwen and A. Miller [see \textit{A. W. Miller}, ``Arnie Miller's problem list'', in: H. Judah (ed.), Set theory of the reals, Isr. Math. Conf. Proc. 6, 645-654 (1993; Zbl 0828.03017)] as follows: Question 1.1. The continuum hypothesis CH implies that there exists a set \({\mathcal A}\subseteq{^\omega\omega}\) which is maximal with respect to eventually different functions and which is also maximal with respect to infinite partial functions. Is there always such an \({\mathcal A}\)? What is \({\mathfrak a}_{\text{m}}\), the cardinality of the smallest such \({\mathcal A}\)?
