Definition:Covariant Power Set Functor

Definition
Let $\mathbf{Set}$ be the category of sets.

The (covariant) power set functor $\mathcal P : \mathbf{Set} \to \mathbf{Set}$ is the covariant functor which sends:
 * An object $x$ to its power set $\mathcal P(x)$.
 * A morphism $f : x \to y$ to the direct image mapping $\mathcal P(f) : \mathcal P(x) \to \mathcal P(y)$.
