Definition

Let $I$ be an indexing set.

Let $\family {S_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ be an family of sets indexed by $I$.

Let $\ds \prod_{i \mathop \in I} S_i$ be the Cartesian product of $\family {S_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$.

Let $S$ be a set such that:

$\forall i \in I: S_i = S$


The Cartesian space of $S$ indexed by $I$ is the set of all families $\family {s_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ with $s_i \in S$ for each $i \in I$:

$S_I := \ds \prod_I S = \set {\family {s_i}_{i \mathop \in I}: s_i \in S}$
