%0 Journal Article %T On VC-minimal theories and variants %A Vincent Guingona %A Michael C. Laskowski %J Mathematics %D 2011 %I arXiv %X In this paper, we study VC-minimal theories and explore related concepts. We first define the notion of convex orderablility and show that this lies strictly between VC-minimality and dp-minimality. Next, we define the notion of weak VC-minimality, show it lies strictly between VC-minimality and dependence, and show that all unstable weakly VC-minimal theories interpret an infinite linear order. Finally, we define the notion full VC-minimality, show that this lies strictly between weak o-minimality and VC-minimality, and show that theories that are fully VC-minimal have low VC-density. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.4274v1
