Abstract

There are additional results which can be proved such as the following:

Theorem 7.1:

Theorem 7.2: For every m there is no such that for any n⩾no there is ko(m,n) such that c nm , c n+km are incomparable but not disjoint for k⩾ko(m,n).

Conjecture: ko(m,n)≡1.

One can summarize the results exhibited in this paper in the following two-dimensional infinite diagram:

The symbol " → " stand for inclusion relation and strict inclusion or equality appear according to the theorems in this paper.

This work is based on the D.Sc. research of the second author under the supervision of the first.
