Dear Forum,
Abdulsatar Al-Juburie asked:
> Let X be a finite set and let x be a fixed element of X.
> Is there any function in GAP that generates all subsets of X that contains x.
Provided that the set X is small enough such that the desired list
of subsets fits into the memory of the computer, the following statement
will do what you want:
List(Combinations(Difference(X,[x])),Y->Union(Y,[x]));
Hope this helps,
    Stefan Kohl
