I reply:

The Smith set certainly has lots of names. It´s the Smith set, the minimal 
dominant set, and now the GeTCha set too.

As for the GOCha set the uniion of minimal undominated sets, is that what is 
usually called the Schwartz set?

Ok, so when you say "minimal dominant set" or  "GeTCha set", you´re 
referring to the Smith set, and when you say "GOCha set", you´re referring 
to the Schwartz set, right?

Didn´t you say that Schwartz´s book or article defining the GeTCha set was 
written in ´86? But from Markus´s posting, Smith wrote about it in ´73, 
which seem to justify calling it the Smith set.

Two sets and lots of names.
