Some special vapnik-chervonenkis classes

Abstract

For a class C of subsets of a set X, let V(C) be the smallest n such that no n-element set F@__ __X has all its subsets of the form A @__ __ F, A @__ __ C. The condition V(C) <+~ has probabilistic implications. If any two-element subset A of X satisfies both A @__ __ C = O and A @__ __ D for some C, D@__ __C, then V(C)=2 if and only if C is linearly ordered by inclusion. If C is of the form C={@__ __^n"i"="1 C"i:C"i@__ __C"i, i=1,2,...,n}, where each C"i is linearly ordered by inclusion, then V(C)= 0} for f in H, then V(C)=n.
