  3. What does pairwise disjoint mean? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Mar 9, 2019 · Typically, pairwise disjoint means that no two sets in the collection have a member in common. The answer to your first question is no, in fact each pair of distinct subsets has a common …

  4. general topology - Confusion on pairwise disjoint and disjoint ...
