Discussion and Examples
Example 1: Consider S = {A1, A2, A3} with
- A1 = {1, 2, 3}
- A2 = {1, 4, 5}
- A3 = {3, 5}.
A valid SDR would be {1, 4, 5}. (Note this is not unique: {2, 1, 3} works equally well, for example.)
Example 2: Consider S = {A1, A2, A3, A4} with
- A1 = {2, 3, 4, 5}
- A2 = {4, 5}
- A3 = {5}
- A4 = {4}.
No valid SDR exists; the marriage condition is violated as is shown by the subcollection {A2, A3, A4}.
Example 3: Consider S= {A1, A2, A3, A4} with
- A1 = {a, b, c}
- A2 = {b, d}
- A3 = {a, b, d}
- A4 = {b, d}.
The only valid SDR's are (c, b, a, d) and (c, d, a, b).

Famous quotes containing the words discussion and, discussion and/or examples:
“If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test: though a different opinion prevails in this country.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
