Shattering-Extremal Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The Shatters relation and the VC dimension have been investigated since the early seventies. These concepts have found numerous applications in statistics, combinatorics, learning theory and computational geometry. Shattering extremal systems are set-systems with a very rich structure and many different characterizations. The goal of this thesis is to elaborate on the structure of these systems.

Shattering-Extremal Set Systems of VC Dimension at most 2
We say that a set system F ⊆ 2[n] shatters a given set S ⊆ [n] if 2S = {F ∩ S : F ∈ F}. The Sauer inequality states that in general, a set system F shatters at least |F| sets. Here we concentrate on the case of equality. A set system is called shattering-extremal if it shatters exactly |F| sets. In this paper we characterize shattering-extremal set systems of Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension 2 in ...

متن کاملStandard Monomials and Extremal Vector Systems
We say that a set system F ⊆ 2 shatters a given set S ⊆ [n] if 2 = {F ∩ S : F ∈ F}. The Sauer-Shelah lemma states that in general, a set system F shatters at least |F| sets. A set system is called shattering-extremal if it shatters exactly |F| sets. In [9] and [13] an algebraic characterization of shattering-extremal set systems was given, which offered the possibility to generalize the notion ...
متن کاملShattering, Graph Orientations, and Connectivity
We present a connection between two seemingly disparate fields: VC-theory and graph theory. This connection yields natural correspondences between fundamental concepts in VC-theory, such as shattering and VC-dimension, and well-studied concepts of graph theory related to connectivity, combinatorial optimization, forbidden subgraphs, and others. In one direction, we use this connection to derive...
متن کاملRemarks on the Geometry of Coordinate Projections in R
We study geometric properties of coordinate projections. Among other results, we show that if a body K ⊂ R has an “almost extremal” volume ratio, then it has a projection of proportional dimension which is close to the cube. We also establish a sharp estimate on the shattering dimension of the convex hull of a class of functions in terms of the shattering dimension of the class itself.
