Archived from groups: comp>ai>games (more info?)

I am looking for algorithm by which I can have smaller fixed number of
element which gives a unique identity for that set.

example: I have
A = { 2,4,6,8}
B = { 3,6,9,12}
C = { 4,8,12,16}

and I like to take minumum 2 element
I can have
A* = { 2,4}
B* = {3,9}
C* = {12,16}
You see that for A* I have to select one of 4,6 or 8, besides 2.

The examples {A, B, C}are displayed in ascending order; is this a matter of
convienience for the newsgroup, or are the sets stored in this manner?

If items are inserted into {A|B|C} in ascending order, then start at 'left'
side, and compare values until there are no matches.

On further examination of the problem, I'm not sure I understand it. The example
A* contains the number {4}, which is not unique to the set A; it is part of the
intersection of A-intersect-C. The set C* also contains a number {12} that is
within the intersection of B-intersect-C.

Could you clarify?

Thanks,

Yes,
4 is not unique to A, but {2,4} represents a 2-item ID for "A'" which
sets it apart from 'C' which has id: {12,16}. Since the requirement is
'2', you have to provide atleast 2items if possible for providing
unique ID.

Looks like a database problem, identifying unique key. I have one more question
about this situation. If I make a set of three answers like so:
A' = {2}
B' = {3}
C' = {16}
They seem to characterize their sets uniquely, and identify a width of one
rather than two. In your example, you drew C* from different "columns",
suggesting that the items are not sorted, or arranged in record fields.

Q: Are that the answers {A*, B*, C*} of width two more fitting than the answers
{A', B', C'} of width one, and if so then why/how?

-Neutral:-

judging from the replys have a look for 3-Hitting Set. I know there are
paramterised complexity algorithms for it that have been developed by
fellows and co. www.cs.newcastle.edu.au/~fellows/ should give you a start.
