  • Sum of a Nonnegative Function over an Arbitrary Set

    definitiondef:sum-nonnegative-function-over-set-2026aAnalysisSet Theory
    Let AA be a set and let f:A→[0,∞)f:A\to[0,\infty) be a function with values in the nonnegative real numbers. For a nonempty finite subset F⊆AF\subseteq A, ∑x∈Ff(x)\sum_{x\in F}f(x) denotes the sum over the finite index set FF of the restriction of ff to FF, and ∑x∈∅f(x)=0\sum_{x\in\emptyset}f(x)=0…

  • Countable Set

    definitiondef:countable-set-2026aSet Theory
    Let XX be a set and let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers. The set XX is countable if XX is empty, or there is a sequence (xn)n∈N(x_{n})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} in XX whose set of terms is XX, meaning that for every y∈Xy\in X there is n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} with y=xny=x_{n}.

  • Characteristic Property of the Ordered Pair

    lemmalem:ordered-pair-characteristic-2026aSet Theory
    Let xx, yy, x′x' and y′y' be objects, and let ordered pairs be those of Ordered Pair. Then (x,y)=(x′,y′)if and only ifx=x′ and y=y′.(x,y)=(x',y')\qquad\text{if and only if}\qquad x=x'\ \text{and}\ y=y' . Consequently the first and second components of an ordered pair are uniquely determined by that pair.
