Independence system/ graph-theory












1












$begingroup$


$ (E,S)$ is an independence system with $ w: E rightarrow mathbb{R_+}$.



$E= { e_1,...,e_m} $ is the set of edges with $ w(e_1) geq....geq w(e_m), w(e_{m+1}):=0$. Define the set: $ E_i:= { e_1,...,e_i}$ and $ T subset E$ with $ w'(T) = sum_{ e in T} w(e)$.
I will show: $$ w'(T)= sum_{ i=1}^m |T cap E_i|big(w(e_i)-w(e_{i+1})big)$$



Can somebody give me a hint to do that?

          It is enough to think what is $w'(T_j)$ where $T_j ={e_j}$.



          Let $$w''(T_j)=sum_{ i=1}^m |T_j cap E_i|big(w(e_i)-w(e_{i+1})big)$$



          then



          begin{eqnarray}w''(T_j) &=&underbrace{|T_j cap E_1|}_{=0}big(w(e_1)-w(e_{2})big)+...+underbrace{|T_j cap E_{j-1}|}_{=0}big(w(e_{j-1})-w(e_{j})big) +\
          &+& underbrace{|T_j cap E_{j}|}_{=1}big(w(e_{j})-w(e_{j+1})big)+...+underbrace{|T_j cap E_{m}|}_{=1}big(w(e_m)-w(e_{m+1})big) \
          &=& underbrace{0+0+...+0}_{j-1}+big(w(e_{j})-w(e_{j+1})big)+...+big(w(e_m)-w(e_{m+1})big) \
          &=&w(j)-w(e_{m+1})\
          &=&w(j)-0\
          &= & w'(T_j)
          end{eqnarray}



          So $w'$ and $w''$ are the same functions on singeltons and now should not be difficult to see that they are the same functions:



          For every $T$ and every $i$ we have: $$|Tcap E_i| = sum _{jin T}|T_jcap E_i|$$ so:



          begin{eqnarray}w''(T) &=& sum _{i=1}^mcolor{red}{Big(}sum _{jin T}|T_jcap E_i|color{red}{Big)}big(w(e_i)-w(e_{i+1})big)\
          &=& sum _{jin T}color{red}{Big(}sum _{i=1}^m|T_jcap E_i|big(w(e_i)-w(e_{i+1})big)color{red}{Big)}\
          &= &sum _{jin T}w'(T_j)\
          &= & w'(T)
          end{eqnarray}
