Abstract

Some notation, special to the present discussion, ought to be introduced. If A and B are subsets of the set N of natural numbers, then we write A < B whenever a < b holds for each aA and bB. The collection of finite subsets of A is denoted by <∞(A) and the collection of infinite subsets of A by (A). More generally for A,BN we denote by <∞(A,B the colelction { X <∞ (N) : AX AB, A < X\ A } and by (A,B) the collection { X (N): AXAB, A < X\ A }.
