Abstract

We study recursively defined functions associated with directed graphs on the k dimensional nonnegative integral lattice. The existence of certain combinatorial structures associated with these function classes are shown to be independent of the ZFC axioms of mathematics. These structures, in a natural way, give rise to sets of instances to the subset sum problem. We use this connection to make some observations about ZFC independence and the subset sum problem.
