Distinguishing the cardinal characteristics of S_{I,ε} and E_{I,ε}
Determine whether there exists a model of ZFC in which, for some or for all pairs (I, ε) with I a partition of ω into finite nonempty intervals and ε ∈ ℓ^1_+, the covering numbers satisfy cov(E_{I,ε}) ≠ cov(S_{I,ε}), and likewise whether the uniformity numbers satisfy non(E_{I,ε}) ≠ non(S_{I,ε}).

We discuss some open questions from this study. With regard to~\autoref{cichonext} and items~\ref{cohen}-\ref{miller}, we do not know the following. Is it consistent that $(E_{I,\varepsilon})$ and $(S_{I,\varepsilon})$ are different for some (or for all) $I$ and $\varepsilon$? The same is asked for uniformities.
