Definition:Power Structure

Definition
Let $\struct {S, \circ}$ be an algebraic structure.

Let $\powerset S$ denote the power set of $S$.

Let $\circ_\PP$ denote the operation induced on $\powerset S$ by $\circ$ as follows:


 * $\forall A, B \in \powerset S: A \circ_\PP B = \set {a \circ b: a \in A, b \in B}$

Then the resulting algebraic structure $\struct {\powerset S, \circ_\PP}$ is called the power structure of $\struct {S, \circ}$.

Also known as
Some sources refer to this as the global structure of $\struct {S, \circ}$.
