 PlanetMath: disjoint union
This is also often called being pairwise disjoint and is a much stronger condition than that the intersection of all the images is empty.
Of course, there are many categories where this usage is unnatural: In the category of pointed sets, the coproduct will be the disjoint union with the distinguished points identified.
This is version 4 of disjoint union, born on 2004-03-01, modified 2004-03-23.

For instance, a hypergraph homomorphism is a map from the vertex set of one hypergraph to another such that one edge is mapped to another edge.
The set of automorphisms of a hypergraph H (=(X,E)) is a group under composition.
This is not so for hypergraphs and so their study tends to be conducted using the nomenclature of set theory rather than the more pictoral descriptions (for instance 'trees','forests' and 'cycles') of graph theory.

 Almost all Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
"Almost all" is sometimes used synonymously with "all but finitely many"; see almost.
For example, the prime number theorem states that the number of prime numbers less than or equal to N is asymptotically equal to N/ln N.
Occasionally, "almost all" is used in the sense of "almost everywhere" in measure theory, or in the closely related sense of "almost surely" in probability theory.

Show that the set of solutions to the equation x^2 + y^2 = 1 with x and y in F is given by (x,y) = (1,0) r^2 - 1 2r and (x,y) = (-------, -------), r^2 + 1 r^2 + 1 where r runs through the elements of F such that r^2 <> -1.
Suppose S is a set of (p^2-1)/2 distinct nonzero elements of F with the property that for each a <> 0 in F, exactly one of a and -a is in S. Let N be the number of elements in the intersection of S with { 2a : a e S }.

Certainly different sequences give different sets, and the intersection of two such sets is finite.
We will show that C is not maximal, that is, there exists a set which does not belong to C and it intersects finitely with any set in C. Hence by Zorn's lemma, C can be extended to an uncountable collection.
More solutions: The problem (in effect) asks for an uncountable collection of sets of natural numbers that are "almost disjoint," i.e., any two have a finite intersection.

 Why (Almost All) Cosmologists are Atheists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Religion has many aspects, including social and moral ones, apart from its role in describing the workings of the world; however, that role is a crucial one, and necessarily speaks to some of the same issues as science does.
On the one hand, there is a sense in which MOND is more compact and efficient: it has been demonstrated to accurately describe the observations of a wide set of galaxies, with only a single free parameter, while the dark matter idea is somewhat less predictive on this score.
So we would predict a world in which there were almost no nuclei at all, the nucleons and anti-nucleons having annihilated long ago, leaving nothing but an inert gas of photons and neutrinos.

The set of differences \root3{n} - \root3{m} is dense in all the reals, and indeed, m can be taken to be a perfect cube, m = K^2.
This is the third year in a row that a problem has been taken straight from Newman's book (three-coloring the plane in 1988, and the uncountable family of almost disjoint sets in 1989).
More generally any set of matrices of the form { a I + b J ; a, b in Z } is a commuting family, no matter what the matrix J is. So it is possible to consider more families than just the two above (which correspond to the choices J=[[0,1],[1,0]] and J=[[1,0],[0,0]] respectively).

Evidence sets are then used in the development of a relational database architecture useful for the data mining of information stored in several networked databases.
Evidence sets are representational artifacts, but are also constrained by subjective belief structures, which are two key elements of evolutionary constructivism.

A collection of sets is pairwise disjoint ormutually disjoint if any two distinct sets in the collection are disjoint.

Various suggestions from another set of people way smarter than me may be found in my notes here.
Define set A as "evangelicals" and set B as "technologists." I contend that these sets are not mutually exclusive (disjoint) and that the value of the conditional probability P(AB) (read probability of A conditioned on B) can be quite high.
I deduce that around 94 million of them are in set A (I note that even using the lower, 31% figure, it works out to 65 million, enough to deliver a near-landslide in a presidential election if they voted as a bloc).

 Tiling problems and spectral sets
By now you might have started noticing a pattern: all tiles considered so far are spectral sets, and moreover there is a duality between their spectra and translation sets.
If E is a bounded and measurable set in dimension 1 which tiles the line, then the translation set is always periodic (i.e., it is a union of a finite number of lattices).
Lagarias-Wang (1997) proved a structure theorem for 1-dimensional tilings and reduced the proof of the tiling -> spectrum implication in dimension 1 to the proof of a similar implication for sets of the form E = A + [0,1], where A is a finite subset of Z.

The latter three notions also have simple elementary descriptions in terms of S. The central sets are especially interesting because they are partition regular (meaning that when a central set is divided into finitely many pieces, one of those pieces must be central) and are guaranteed to contain a substantial amount of combinatorial structure.
We investigate the extent to which these large sets may be split into almost disjoint families of large sets.
