- Syndetic set
In
mathematics , a syndetic set is a subset of thenatural number s, having the property of "bounded gaps": that the sizes of the gaps in the sequence of natural numbers is bounded.Definition
Let denote the set of finite subsets of . Then a set is called syndetic if for some
:
where . Thus syndetic sets have "bounded gaps"; for a syndetic set , there is an integer such that for any .
