Discussion and Examples
Example 1: Consider S = {A1, A2, A3} with
- A1 = {1, 2, 3}
- A2 = {1, 4, 5}
- A3 = {3, 5}.
A valid SDR would be {1, 4, 5}. (Note this is not unique: {2, 1, 3} works equally well, for example.)
Example 2: Consider S = {A1, A2, A3, A4} with
- A1 = {2, 3, 4, 5}
- A2 = {4, 5}
- A3 = {5}
- A4 = {4}.
No valid SDR exists; the marriage condition is violated as is shown by the subcollection {A2, A3, A4}.
Example 3: Consider S= {A1, A2, A3, A4} with
- A1 = {a, b, c}
- A2 = {b, d}
- A3 = {a, b, d}
- A4 = {b, d}.
The only valid SDR's are (c, b, a, d) and (c, d, a, b).

Famous quotes containing the words discussion and, discussion and/or examples:
“If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test: though a different opinion prevails in this country.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“My companion and I, having a minute’s discussion on some point of ancient history, were amused by the attitude which the Indian, who could not tell what we were talking about, assumed. He constituted himself umpire, and, judging by our air and gesture, he very seriously remarked from time to time, “you beat,” or “he beat.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
