Cartesian Product

If S and T are sets then the Cartesian product SΓ—T of S and T is the set of ordered pairs (x,y) with x ∈ S and y ∈ T, denoted by SΓ—T = { (x,y) | x ∈ S ∧ y ∈ T }

Alternatively: (x,y) ∈ SΓ—T ⟺ βˆ€xβˆ€y. x ∈ S, y ∈ T

More specifically: βˆ€p . p ∈ SΓ—T ⟺ βˆƒxβˆƒy. x ∈ S ∧ y ∈ T ∧ p = (x,y)

My: SΓ—T = { (x,y) | βˆ€xβˆ€y. x ∈ S ∧ y ∈ T }

If S and T are sets, then the Cartesian product SΓ—T of S and T is the set of all the ordered pairs (x,y) with x in S and y in T.

In a Cartesian product SΓ—T, the sets S and T are called the factors of SΓ—T.

The power set of a set S is the set defined and denoted as: P(S) = {βˆ€A.A βŠ† S}. That is, the set whose elements are all of the subsets of S.

𝒰 = { x | βˆ€x. x ∈ 𝒰 } E = { βˆ€x ∈ 𝒰. Β¬βˆƒx ∈ E } = βˆ… S ⋃ T = { βˆ€x. x ∈ S ∨ x ∈ T } S β‹‚ T = { βˆ€x. x ∈ S ∧ x ∈ T } S T = { βˆ€x. x ∈ S ∧ x βˆ‰ T } S' = { x | βˆ€x. x ∈ 𝒰 ∧ x βˆ‰ S } = 𝒰 β‹‚ S

βˆ€S. 𝒰 βŠ‡ S βˆ€S. 𝒰 ⋃ S = 𝒰 βˆ€S. 𝒰 β‹‚ S = S' βˆ€S. βˆ… βŠ† S βˆ€S. βˆ… ⋃ S = S βˆ€S. βˆ… β‹‚ S = βˆ…

π“Ÿ(𝒰) = βˆ€S. S is a set π“Ÿ(S) = { βˆ…, ..., {S} }

π“Ÿ(βˆ…) = {βˆ…} The empty set βˆ… has no elements but it does have one subset, βˆ….
