Title: Some remarks on set theory. XI. (In English)
Source: Fundam. Math. 81, 261-265 (1974).
Review: The authors solve the following problem: Let |S| = m determine the largest cardinal f(m) so that if A\alpha \subset S, |A\alpha| < m, are subsets of S no one of which contains any other one can always find m of the sets A\alpha whose union has a complement of size \geq f(m). The author determines f(m) for every infinite cardinal m, e.g. f(\aleph0) = \aleph0.
