Previously the author showed that if k is the product of two different primes, then the family Int (Polk) consists of 7 closed classes. In this paper, it is proved that if k has at least 3 different prime divisors, then the family Int (Polk) contains an infinitely decreasing (with respect to inclusion) chain of different closed classes.","PeriodicalId":11287,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Mathematics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42312171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An alphabetic point is a value j such that all the values to its left are not larger than j and all the values to its right are not smaller than j. We also provide the asymptotics for compositions and words which have no alphabetic points, as the size tends to infinity. This is achieved by the construction of upper and lower bounds which converge to each other, and in the latter case by probabilistic arguments.","PeriodicalId":11287,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Mathematics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45452622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our paper we consider learning of monotone functions in the case when the teacher is allowed to return an incorrect response to at most one query on the value of an unknown function so that it is still possible to correctly identify the function. We show that learning complexity in case of the possibility of a single error is equal to the complexity in the situation when all responses are correct.","PeriodicalId":11287,"journal":{"name":"Discrete Mathematics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49212931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
