  • Principle of Induction for the Natural Numbers

    axiomaxiom:induction-natural-numbers-2026aLogicSet Theory
    Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, with successor map SS as in that definition. We take as an axiom the following principle of induction. If A⊆NA\subseteq\mathbb{N} satisfies 1. 1∈A1\in A, and 2. S(n)∈AS(n)\in A for every n∈An\in A, then A=NA=\mathbb{N}.

  • Let XX, YY, and ZZ be sets. 1. Every bijection u:X→Yu:X\to Y is injective; that is, u(x)=u(x′)u(x)=u(x') implies x=x′x=x' for all x,x′∈Xx,x'\in X. 2. If u:X→Yu:X\to Y and v:Y→Zv:Y\to Z are bijections, then the map w:X→Zw:X\to Z defined by w(x)=v(u(x))w(x)=v(u(x)) is a bijection. 3. If u:X→Yu:X\to Y is a bijection…

  • Binary Operation on a Set

    definitiondef:binary-operation-set-2026aAlgebraSet Theory
    Let SS be a set. A binary operation on SS is a function ∗:S×S→S,\ast: S\times S\to S, where S×SS\times S denotes the Cartesian product of SS with itself. For a,b∈Sa,b\in S we write a∗ba\ast b for the value of ∗\ast at the pair (a,b)(a,b). A binary operation ∗\ast on SS is called: 1…

  • Let XX be a set, let r,t∈Nr,t\in\mathbb{N} be natural numbers, and let [r][r] be the initial segment determined by rr. Suppose that for each i∈[r]i\in[r] a subset Bi⊆XB_i\subseteq X is given such that: 1. every x∈Xx\in X lies in BiB_i for some i∈[r]i\in[r]; 2. Bi∩Bi′=∅B_i\cap B_{i'}=\emptyset wh…

    Let XX be a set and let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, where N\mathbb{N} is the set of natural numbers and [n][n] denotes the initial segment determined by nn. We say that XX has nn elements if there exists a bijection f:[n]→X.f:[n]\to X. By Uniqueness of the Number of Elements there is at…
