How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14265464 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Szekeres–Lindström theorem
The Szekeres–Lindström theorem is a result in combinatorics that characterizes the maximum size of intersecting families of subsets, serving as a precursor to and special case of the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem.
-
B.
Alexandrov–Hausdorff theorem
The Alexandrov–Hausdorff theorem is a result in descriptive set theory that characterizes analytic sets as continuous images of Baire space, playing a key role in the study of definable sets in Polish spaces.
-
C.
Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma
The Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma is a fundamental result in combinatorial topology that guarantees the existence of a point common to a family of closed sets covering a simplex under certain intersection conditions, and underlies several fixed-point theorems.
-
D.
Steinhaus theorem
The Steinhaus theorem is a fundamental result in measure theory stating that the difference set of any subset of the real numbers with positive Lebesgue measure contains an open interval around zero.
-
E.
Jarník–Besicovitch theorem
The Jarník–Besicovitch theorem is a fundamental result in metric number theory that determines the Hausdorff dimension of sets of real numbers that are very well approximable by rationals.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
