Finite Sets: Removing an Element, Injective Self-Maps, Infinite Sets, Sets of Permutations, Pairs and Extended Tuples

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.

Statement

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 [n][n] as in Intervals of Natural Numbers §segment; subsets of finite sets and the sets [n][n] 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 BB is a finite set and x∈Bx\in B, then #B=#(B∖{x})+1\#B=\#(B\setminus\{x\})+1.

If AA is a finite set, every injective map f:A→Af:A\to A is a bijection.

N\mathbb{N} is infinite, and so is every set XX for which there is an injective map from N\mathbb{N} to XX.

For n∈N0n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}, the set SnS_{n} of permutations of [n][n] is finite and nonempty.

For sets aa and BB, the map b↦(a,b)b\mapsto(a,b) is a bijection from BB onto {a}×B\{a\}\times B.

Let YY be a set, n∈N0n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}, and let YnY^{n} 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 t∈Ynt\in Y^{n} and y∈Yy\in Y there is exactly one u∈Yn+1u\in Y^{n+1} with uk=tku_{k}=t_{k} for k∈[n]k\in[n] and un+1=yu_{n+1}=y, and the map (t,y)↦u(t,y)\mapsto u is a bijection from Yn×YY^{n}\times Y onto Yn+1Y^{n+1}.
