Definition
Let $\SS$ be a system of sets.
$\SS$ is a semiring of sets if and only if $\SS$ satisfies the following axioms:
\((1)\) | $:$ | \(\ds \O \in \SS \) | |||||||
\((2)\) | $:$ | $\cap$-stable | \(\ds \forall A, B \in \SS:\) | \(\ds A \cap B \in \SS \) | |||||
\((3')\) | $:$ | \(\ds \forall A, B \in \SS:\) | $\exists n \in \N$ and pairwise disjoint sets $A_1, A_2, A_3, \ldots, A_n \in \SS : \ds A \setminus B = \bigcup_{k \mathop = 1}^n A_k$ |
These criteria are called the semiring of sets axioms.
