Removing an element from a finite set lowers its number of elements by one, injective self-maps of finite sets are bijections, the natural numbers are infinite, the set of permutations of [n] is finite and nonempty, and two standard bijections: onto a slice of a product and onto tuples of length n+1.
In the setting of The Natural Numbers and the Natural Numbers with Zero: Arithmetic, Order, Induction and Recursion, let finite and infinite sets be as in Finite Sets §finite, as in The Number of Elements of a Finite Set §cardinality, and as in Intervals of Natural Numbers §segment; subsets of finite sets and the sets are finite by Finite Sets: the Pigeonhole Principle, Uniqueness of the Length, Subsets, Unions, Products, Images, Bounded Sets of Natural Numbers, Extreme Elements, Sets of Maps, Finite Unions and Finite Choice §subset and Finite Sets: the Pigeonhole Principle, Uniqueness of the Length, Subsets, Unions, Products, Images, Bounded Sets of Natural Numbers, Extreme Elements, Sets of Maps, Finite Unions and Finite Choice §naturals.
If is a finite set and , then .
If is a finite set, every injective map is a bijection.
is infinite, and so is every set for which there is an injective map from to .
For , the set of permutations of is finite and nonempty.
For sets and , the map is a bijection from onto .
Let be a set, , and let and the components of its elements be as in Tuples in a Set: the Set of n-Tuples and Their Components §tuples and Tuples in a Set: the Set of n-Tuples and Their Components §components. For and there is exactly one with for and , and the map is a bijection from onto .
