Parameters measuring the size of set families - Combinatorial Parameters

Effective Range

Name: Effective Range

Symbol: $\mathrm{E}$

Definition:

The effective range $E(\mathcal{H})$ of a family $\mathcal{H}$ is the number of elements that can be distinguished by members of $\mathcal{H}$: $$ E(\mathcal{H}):= |{x:x\in\mathcal{X|,\, \exists h_1,h_2\in\mathcal{H},\, x\in h_1 \Delta h_2}} $$
