One special subalgebra of the algebra of fuzzy truth values is the set of those elements that take only 0 and 1 as values. This subalgebra is in one-to-one correspondence with the...
We consider the problem of minimizing the size of a set system G such that every subset of {1, . . . , n} can be written as a disjoint union of at most k members of G, where k and...
