Extract

Let = (Ai;i ∈ I) be an indexed family of sets. The family is said to contain the family = (Bj;j ∈ J) if there is a one-to-one map f from J into I such that Bj = Af(i) for all j in J. The indexed family = (Ai;i ∈ I) is said to be a Δ (λ)-family if |I| = λ and AiAj = AkAi for all pairs i, j and k, l from I. The family is said to be a (λ, k)-family if |I| = λ and |Ai| = k for all Ai.
