Saturated set
In mathematics, particularly in the subfields of set theory and topology, a set is said to be saturated with respect to a function if is a subset of 's domain and if whenever sends two points and to t
List of set identities and relations
This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It
Complement (set theory)
In set theory, the complement of a set A, often denoted by A∁ (or A′), is the set of elements not in A. When all sets in the universe, i.e. all sets under consideration, are considered to be members o
Simple theorems in the algebra of sets
The simple theorems in the algebra of sets are some of the elementary properties of the algebra of union (infix ∪), intersection (infix ∩), and set complement (postfix ') of sets. These properties ass
Symmetric difference
In mathematics, the symmetric difference of two sets, also known as the disjunctive union, is the set of elements which are in either of the sets, but not in their intersection. For example, the symme
Union (set theory)
In set theory, the union (denoted by ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection. It is one of the fundamental operations through which sets can be combined and related to
Algebra of sets
In mathematics, the algebra of sets, not to be confused with the mathematical structure of an algebra of sets, defines the properties and laws of sets, the set-theoretic operations of union, intersect
Intersection (set theory)
In set theory, the intersection of two sets and denoted by is the set containing all elements of that also belong to or equivalently, all elements of that also belong to
Cartesian product
In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a is in A and b is in B. In terms of set-builder notatio
Power set
In mathematics, the power set (or powerset) of a set S is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself. In axiomatic set theory (as developed, for example, in the ZFC axioms), the
Disjoint union
In mathematics, a disjoint union (or discriminated union) of a family of sets is a set often denoted by with an injection of each into such that the images of these injections form a partition of (tha
