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:
“Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods—moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former—but no opinion.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“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)
“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)
