On the depth of decision trees over infinite 1-homogeneous binary information systems

In this paper, we study decision trees, which solve problems defined over a specific subclass of infinite information systems, namely: 1-homogeneous binary information systems. It is proved that the minimum depth of a decision tree (defined as a function on the number of attributes in a problem’s de...
