Zero Element of Union and Intersection
Introduction to Set Theory: $1$. Elementary Operations on Sets:
- The operations $A \cup B$ and $A \cap B$ are meaningful for every pair of sets $A, B$ ... The empty set $\O$ plays the role of the zero element.
Cartesian Product of Countable Sets is Countable: Formal Proof 2
Introduction to Set Theory: $2$. Set Theoretical Equivalence and Denumerability:
- If $A$ and $B$ are denumerable, then so are $A \cup B$ and $A \times B$.
- ...
- For instance, if $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots$ and $b_1, b_2, b_3, \ldots$ are enumerations of $A$ and $B$, then the map $f$ given by the rule
- $\map f {\tuple {a_k, a_l} } = \dfrac {\paren {k + l - 1} \paren {k + l - 2} } 2 + \dfrac {l + \paren {-1}^{k + 1} } 2 k + \dfrac {1 + \paren {-1}^{k + l - 1} } 2 l$
- gives an enumeration of $\tuple {A \times B}$.
