The convexity number of a set is the least size of a family of convex sets with . is countably convex if its convexity number is countable. Otherwise is uncountably convex.
Uncountably convex closed sets in have been studied recently by Geschke, Kubis, Kojman and Schipperus. Their line of research is continued in the present article. We show that for all , it is consistent that there is an uncountably convex closed set whose convexity number is strictly smaller than all convexity numbers of uncountably convex subsets of .
Moreover, we construct a closed set whose convexity number is and that has no uncountable -clique for any 1$">. Here is a -clique if the convex hull of no -element subset of is included in . Our example shows that the main result of the above-named authors, a closed set either has a perfect -clique or the convexity number of is in some forcing extension of the universe, cannot be extended to higher dimensions.
A matrix operation is examined for fuzzy matrices and interesting properties of fuzzy matrices are obtained using the operation. Particularly some properties concerning subinverses and regularity of fuzzy matrices are given and the largest subinverse is shown by the properties. The properties are closely related to inverses of fuzzy matrices and fuzzy equations. Moreover fuzzy preorders are examined using the matrix operation and basic properties are obtained. The results are considered to be useful for the theory of fuzzy matrices. 相似文献
Lower and upper bounds are obtained for the clique number ω(G) and the independence number α(G), in terms of the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of a graph G.

A geometric automorphism is an automorphism of a geometric graph that preserves crossings and noncrossings of edges. We prove two theorems constraining
the action of a geometric automorphism on the boundary of the convex hull of a geometric clique. First, any geometric automorphism
that fixes the boundary of the convex hull fixes the entire clique. Second, if the boundary of the convex hull contains at
least four vertices, then it is invariant under every geometric automorphism. We use these results, and the theory of determining
sets, to prove that every geometric n-clique in which n≥7 and the boundary of the convex hull contains at least four vertices is 2-distinguishable. 相似文献
