Then $\{x\}$ and $\{x, y\}$ are subsets of $B$. By definition of the \nameref{ref:power-set}, $\{x\}$ and $\{x, y\}$ are members of $\powerset{B}$. Then $\{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}$ is a subset of $\powerset{B}$.

Compute the rank of $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$. Compute the rank of $\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}$. \begin{proof} We first compute the values of $V_n$ for $0 \leq n \leq 3$ under the assumption the set of atoms $A$ at the bottom of the hierarchy is empty. \begin{align*} V_0 & = \emptyset \\ V_1 & = V_0 \cup \powerset{V_0} \\ & = \emptyset \cup \{\emptyset\} \\ & = \{\emptyset\} \\ V_2 & = V_1 \cup \powerset{V_1} \\ & = \{\emptyset\} \cup \powerset{\{\emptyset\}} \\ & = \{\emptyset\} \cup \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \\ & = \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \\ V_3 & = V_2 \cup \powerset{V_2} \\ & = \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \cup \powerset{\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}} \\ & = \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \cup \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\} \\ & = \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\} \end{align*} It then immediately follows $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$ has rank $2$ and $\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}$ has rank $3$. \end{proof} \subsection{\partial{Exercise 2.2}}% \label{sub:exercise-2.2} We have stated that $V_{\alpha + 1} = A \cup \powerset{V_\alpha}$. Prove this at least for $\alpha < 3$. \begin{proof} Let $A$ be the set of atoms in our set hierarchy. Let $P(n)$ be the predicate, "$V_{n + 1} = A \cup \powerset{V_n}$." We prove $P(n)$ holds true for all natural numbers $n \geq 1$ via induction. \paragraph{Base Case}% Let $n = 1$. By definition, $V_1 = V_0 \cup \powerset{V_0}$. By definition, $V_0 = A$. Therefore $V_1 = A \cup \powerset{V_0}$. This proves $P(1)$ holds true. \paragraph{Induction Step}% Suppose $P(n)$ holds true for some $n \geq 1$. Consider $V_{n+1}$. By definition, $V_{n+1} = V_n \cup \powerset{V_n}$. Therefore, by the induction hypothesis, \begin{align} V_{n+1} & = V_n \cup \powerset{V_n} \nonumber \\ & = (A \cup \powerset{V_{n-1}}) \cup \powerset{V_n} \nonumber \\ & = A \cup (\powerset{V_{n-1}} \cup \powerset{V_n}) \label{sub:exercise-2.2-eq1} \end{align} But $V_{n-1}$ is a subset of $V_n$. \nameref{sub:exercise-1.3} then implies $\powerset{V_{n-1}} \subseteq \powerset{V_n}$. This means \eqref{sub:exercise-2.2-eq1} can be simplified to $$V_{n+1} = A \cup \powerset{V_n},$$ proving $P(n+1)$ holds true. \paragraph{Conclusion}% By mathematical induction, it follows for all $n \geq 1$, $P(n)$ is true. \end{proof} \subsection{\partial{Exercise 2.3}}% \label{sub:exercise-2.3} List all the members of $V_3$. List all the members of $V_4$. (It is to be assumed here that there are no atoms.) \begin{proof} As seen in the proof of \nameref{sub:exercise-2.1}, $$V_3 = \{ \emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\} \}.$$ By \nameref{sub:exercise-2.2}, $V_4 = \powerset{V_3}$ (since it is assumed there are no atoms). Thus \begin{align*} & V_4 = \{ \\ & \qquad \emptyset, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset\}, \\ & \qquad \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\{\{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\{\emptyset\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\} \\ & \qquad \{\{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\}, \\ & \qquad \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\} \\ & \}. \end{align*} \end{proof} \chapter{Axioms and Operations}% \label{chap:axioms-operations} \section{Axioms}% \label{sec:axioms} \subsection{\partial{Theorem 2A}}% \label{sub:theorem-2a} \begin{theorem}[2A] There is no set to which every set belongs. \note{This was revisited after reading Enderton's proof prior.} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $A$ be an arbitrary set. Define $B = \{ x \in A \mid x \not\in x \}$. By the \nameref{ref:subset-axioms}, $B$ is a set. Then $$B \in B \iff B \in A \land B \not\in B.$$ If $B \in A$, then $B \in B \iff B \not\in B$, a contradiction. Thus $B \not\in A$. Since this process holds for any set $A$, there must exist no set to which every set belongs. \end{proof} \subsection{\partial{Theorem 2B}}% \label{sub:theorem-2b} \begin{theorem}[2B] For any nonempty set $A$, there exists a unique set $B$ such that for any $x$, $$x \in B \iff x \text{ belongs to every member of } A.$$ \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Suppose $A$ is a nonempty set. This ensures the statement we are trying to prove does not vacuously hold for all sets $x$ (which would yield a contradiction due to \nameref{sub:theorem-2b}). By the \nameref{ref:union-axiom}, $\bigcup A$ is a set. Define $$B = \{ x \in \bigcup A \mid (\forall b \in A), x \in b \}.$$ By the \nameref{ref:subset-axioms}, $B$ is indeed a set. By construction, $$\forall x, x \in B \iff x \text{ belongs to every member of } A.$$ By the \nameref{ref:extensionality-axiom}, $B$ is unique. \end{proof} \section{Exercises 3}% \label{sec:exercises-3} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.1}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.1} Assume that $A$ is the set of integers divisible by $4$.

By definition, $$\bigcup A = \{ y \mid (\exists b \in A) y \in b\}.$$ Then $\{ y \mid y \in x\} \subseteq \bigcup A$. But $\{ y \mid y \in x\} = x$. Thus $x \subseteq \bigcup A$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.4}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.4} Show that if $A \subseteq B$, then $\bigcup A \subseteq \bigcup B$. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_2} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_2.exercise\_3\_4} Let $A$ and $B$ be sets such that $A \subseteq B$. Let $x \in \bigcup A$. By definition of the union, there exists some $b \in A$ such that $x \in b$. By definition of the subset, $b \in B$. This immediatley implies $x \in \bigcup B$. Since this holds for all $x \in \bigcup A$, it follows $\bigcup A \subseteq \bigcup B$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.5}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.5} Assume that every member of $\mathscr{A}$ is a subset of $B$. Show that $\bigcup \mathscr{A} \subseteq B$. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_2} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_2.exercise\_3\_5} Let $x \in \bigcup \mathscr{A}$. By definition, $$\bigcup \mathscr{A} = \{ y \mid (\exists b \in A)y \in b \}.$$ Then there exists some $b \in A$ such that $x \in b$. By hypothesis, $b \subseteq B$. Thus $x$ must also be a member of $B$. Since this holds for all $x \in \bigcup \mathscr{A}$, it follows $\bigcup \mathscr{A} \subseteq B$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.6a}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.6a} Show that for any set $A$, $\bigcup \powerset{A} = A$. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_2} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_2.exercise\_3\_6a} We prove that (i) $\bigcup \powerset{A} \subseteq A$ and (ii) $A \subseteq \bigcup \powerset{A}$. \paragraph{(i)}% \label{par:exercise-3.6a-i} By definition, the \nameref{ref:power-set} of $A$ is the set of all subsets of $A$.

By definition of the power set of $A$, $\{x\} \in \powerset{A}$. By definition of the union, $$\bigcup \powerset{A} = \{ y \mid (\exists b \in \powerset{A}), y \in b).$$ Since $x \in \{x\}$ and $\{x\} \in \powerset{A}$, it follows $x \in \bigcup \powerset{A}$. Thus $A \subseteq \bigcup \powerset{A}$. \paragraph{Conclusion}% By \nameref{par:exercise-3.6a-i} and \nameref{par:exercise-3.6a-ii}, $\bigcup \powerset{A} = A$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.6b}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.6b} Show that $A \subseteq \powerset{\bigcup A}$.

By \nameref{sub:exercise-3.3}, $x$ is a subset of $\bigcup A$. By the definition of the \nameref{ref:power-set}, $$\powerset{\bigcup A} = \{ y \mid y \subseteq \bigcup A \}.$$ Therefore $x \in \powerset{\bigcup A}$. Since this holds for all $x \in A$, $A \subseteq \powerset{\bigcup A}$. \suitdivider We show equality holds if and only if there exists some set $B$ such that $A = \powerset{B}$. \paragraph{($\Rightarrow$)}% \label{par:exercise-3.6b-right} Suppose $A = \powerset{\bigcup A}$. Then our statement immediately follows by settings $B = \bigcup A$. \paragraph{($\Leftarrow$)}% \label{par:exercise-3.6b-left} Suppose there exists some set $B$ such that $A = \powerset{B}$. Therefore \begin{align*} \powerset{\bigcup A} & = \powerset{\left(\bigcup {\powerset {B}}\right)} \\ & = \powerset{B} & \textref{sub:exercise-3.6a} \\ & = A. \end{align*} \paragraph{Conclusion}% By \nameref{par:exercise-3.6b-right} and \nameref{par:exercise-3.6b-left}, $A = \powerset{\bigcup A}$ if and only if there exists some set $B$ such that $A = \powerset{B}$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.7a}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.7a} Show that for any sets $A$ and $B$, $$\powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B} = \powerset{(A \cap B)}.$$ \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_2} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_2.exercise\_3\_7a} Let $A$ and $B$ be arbitrary sets. We show that $\powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B} \subseteq \powerset{(A \cap B)}$ and then show that $\powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B} \supseteq \powerset{(A \cap B)}$. \paragraph{($\subseteq$)}% Let $x \in \powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B}$. That is, $x \in \powerset{A}$ and $x \in \powerset{B}$. By the definition of the \nameref{ref:power-set}, \begin{align*} \powerset{A} & = \{ y \mid y \subseteq A \} \\ \powerset{B} & = \{ y \mid y \subseteq B \} \end{align*} Thus $x \subseteq A$ and $x \subseteq B$, meaning $x \subseteq A \cap B$. But then $x \in \powerset{(A \cap B)}$, the set of all subsets of $A \cap B$. Since this holds for all $x \in \powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B}$, it follows $$\powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B} \subseteq \powerset{(A \cap B)}.$$ \paragraph{($\supseteq$)}% Let $x \in \powerset{(A \cap B)}$.

But this implies $x \in \powerset{A}$, the set of all subsets of $A$. Likewise $x \in \powerset{B}$, the set of all subsets of $B$. Thus $x \in \powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B}$. Since this holds for all $x \in \powerset{(A \cap B)}$, it follows $$\powerset{(A \cap B)} \subseteq \powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B}.$$ \paragraph{Conclusion}% Since each side of our identity is a subset of the other, $$\powerset{(A \cap B)} = \powerset{A} \cap \powerset{B}.$$ \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 3.7b}}% \label{sub:exercise-3.7b} Show that $\powerset{A} \cup \powerset{B} \subseteq \powerset{(A \cup B)}$.

For the sake of contradiction, suppose $A \not\subseteq B$ and $B \not\subseteq A$. Then there exists an element $x \in A$ such that $x \not\in B$ and there exists an element $y \in B$ such that $y \not\in A$.

Then by definition of the \nameref{sub:cartesian-product} and union of sets, \begin{align*} A \times (B \cup C) & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid x \in A \land y \in (B \cup C) \} \\ & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid x \in A \land (y \in B \lor y \in C) \} \\ & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid (x \in A \land y \in B) \lor (x \in A \land y \in C) \} \\ & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid (x \in A \land y \in B) \} \cup \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid (x \in A \land y \in C) \} \\ & = (A \times B) \cup (A \times C). \end{align*} \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 5.2b}}% \label{sub:exercise-5.2b} Show that if $A \times B = A \times C$ and $A \neq \emptyset$, then $B = C$. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_3} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_3.exercise\_5\_2b} Let $A$, $B$, and $C$ be arbitrary sets such that $A \neq \emptyset$. By definition of the \nameref{sub:cartesian-product}, \begin{align} A \times B & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid x \in A \land y \in B \} & \label{sub:exercise-5.2b-eq1} \\ A \times C & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid x \in A \land y \in C \}. & \label{sub:exercise-5.2b-eq2} \end{align} There are two cases to consider: \paragraph{Case 1}% Suppose $B \neq \emptyset$. Then $A \times B \neq \emptyset$ and $A \times C \neq \emptyset$. Let $\left< x, y \right> \in A \times B$. By \eqref{sub:exercise-5.2b-eq1}, $x \in A$ and $y \in B$. By the \nameref{ref:extensionality-axiom}, $$\left< x, y \right> \in A \times B \iff \left< x, y \right> \in A \times C.$$ Therefore $\left< x, y \right> \in A \times C$. By \eqref{sub:exercise-5.2b-eq2}, $x \in A$ and $y \in C$. Since membership of $y$ in $B$ and in $C$ holds biconditionally, the \nameref{ref:extensionality-axiom} indicates $B = C$. \paragraph{Case 2}% Suppose $B = \emptyset$. Then there is no $\left< x, y \right>$ such that $x \in A$ and $y \in B$. Thus $A \times B = \emptyset$ and $A \times C = \emptyset$. But then there cannot exist an $\left< x, y \right>$ such that $x \in A$ and $y \in C$ either. Since $A \neq \emptyset$, it must be the case that $C = \emptyset$. Thus $B = C$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 5.3}}% \label{sub:exercise-5.3} Show that $A \times \bigcup \mathscr{B} = \bigcup\;\{ A \times X \mid X \in \mathscr{B} \}$. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_3} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_3.exercise\_5\_3} Let $A$ and $\mathscr{B}$ be arbitrary sets. By definition of the \nameref{sub:cartesian-product} and the union of sets, \begin{align*} A \times \bigcup\mathscr{B} & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid x \in A \land y \in \bigcup\mathscr{B} \} \\ & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid x \in A \land (\exists b \in \mathscr{B}), y \in b \} \\ & = \{ \left< x, y \right> \mid (\exists b \in \mathscr{B}), x \in A \land y \in b \} \\ & = \bigcup\; \{ A \times X \mid X \in \mathscr{B} \}. \end{align*} \end{proof} \subsection{\partial{Exercise 5.4}}% \label{sub:exercise-5.4} Show that there is no set to which every ordered pair belongs. \begin{proof} For the sake of contradiction, suppose there exists a set $A$ to which every ordered pair belongs. That is, for all sets $x$ and $y$, $\left< x, y \right> = \{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}$ is a member of $A$. By the \nameref{ref:union-axiom}, it follows that $\bigcup\bigcup A$ is the set to which every set belongs. But \nameref{sub:theorem-2a} shows this is impossible. Thus our original assumption was wrong; there exists no set to which every ordered pair belongs. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 5.5a}}% \label{sub:exercise-5.5a} Assume that $A$ and $B$ are given sets, and show that there exists a set $C$ such that for any $y$, \begin{equation} \label{sub:exercise-5.5a-eq1} y \in C \iff y = \{x\} \times B \text{ for some } x \text{ in } A. \end{equation} In other words, show that $\{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$ is a set. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_3} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_3.exercise\_5\_5a} Let $a \in A$. By the \nameref{ref:pairing-axiom}, $\{a\}$ is a set. By \nameref{sub:cartesian-product}, $\{a\} \times B$ is a set. Again by the \nameref{ref:pairing-axiom}, $\{\{a\} \times B\}$ is a set. Next, by another application of \nameref{sub:cartesian-product}, $A \times B$ is a set. By the \nameref{ref:power-set-axiom}, $\powerset{(A \times B)}$ is a set. Thus, by the \nameref{ref:subset-axioms}, the following is also a set: $$C = \{ y \in \powerset{(A \times B)} \mid \exists a \in A, \forall x, \left[ x \in y \iff \exists b \in B, x = \left< a, b \right> \right] \}.$$ We now show that $C$ satisfies \eqref{sub:exercise-5.5a-eq1}. \paragraph{($\Rightarrow$)}% Suppose $y \in C$. Then there exists some $a \in A$ such that $$\forall x, \left[ x \in y \iff \exists b \in B, x = \left< a, b \right> \right].$$ By the \nameref{ref:extensionality-axiom}, \begin{align*} y & = \{ \left< a, b \right> \mid b \in B \} \\ & = \{ \left< x, b \right> \mid x \in \{a\} \land b \in B \} \\ & = \{ \{a\} \times B \}. \end{align*} \paragraph{($\Leftarrow$)}% Suppose $y = \{a\} \times B$ for some $a \in A$. By \nameref{sub:cartesian-product}, $x \in \{a\} \times B$ if and only if $\exists b \in B$ such that $x = \left< a, b \right>$. But then $x \in y$ if and only if $\exists b \in B$ such that $x = \left< a, b \right>$. This immediately proves $y \in C$. \end{proof} \subsection{\verified{Exercise 5.5b}}% \label{sub:exercise-5.5b} With $A$, $B$, and $C$ as above, show that $A \times B = \bigcup C$. \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_3} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_3.exercise\_5\_5b} Let $A$ and $B$ be arbitrary sets. We want to show that \begin{equation} \label{sub:exercise-5.5b-eq1} A \times B = \bigcup\; \{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}. \end{equation} The left-hand side of \eqref{sub:exercise-5.5b-eq1} is a set by virtue of \nameref{sub:cartesian-product}. The right-hand side of \eqref{sub:exercise-5.5b-eq1} is a set by virtue of \nameref{sub:exercise-5.5a}. We prove the set on each side is a subset of the other. \paragraph{($\subseteq$)}% Let $c \in A \times B$. Then there exists some $a \in A$ and $b \in B$ such that $c = \left< a, b \right>$. Thus $c \in \{a\} \times B$. We also note $\{a\} \times B \in \{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$, specifically when $x = a$. Therefore, by the \nameref{ref:union-axiom}, $c \in \bigcup\;\{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$. \paragraph{($\supseteq$)}% Let $c \in \bigcup\; \{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$. By the \nameref{ref:union-axiom}, there exists some $b \in \{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$ such that $c \in b$. Then there exists some $x \in A$ such that $b = \{x\} \times B$. Therefore $c \in \{x\} \times B$. But $x \in A$ meaning $c \in A \times B$ as well. \paragraph{Conclusion}% Since we have shown $A \times B \subseteq \bigcup\; \{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$ and $A \times B \supseteq \bigcup\; \{\{x\} \times B \mid x \in A\}$, it follows \eqref{sub:exercise-5.5b-eq1} is a true identity. \end{proof} \section{Relations}% \label{sec:relations} \subsection{\verified{Theorem 3D}}% \label{sub:theorem-3d} \begin{theorem}[3D] If $\left< x, y \right> \in A$, then $x$ and $y$ belong to $\bigcup\bigcup A$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} \lean{Bookshelf/Enderton/Set/Chapter\_3} {Enderton.Set.Chapter\_3.theorem\_3d} Let $A$ be a set and $\left< x, y \right> \in A$. By definition of an \nameref{ref:ordered-pair}, $$\left< x, y \right> = \{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}.$$ By \nameref{sub:exercise-3.3}, $\{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\} \subseteq \bigcup A$. Then $\{x, y\} \in \bigcup A$. Another application of \nameref{sub:exercise-3.3} implies $\{x, y\} \subseteq \bigcup\bigcup A$. Therefore $x, y \in \bigcup\bigcup A$. \end{proof} \section{Exercises 6}% \label{sec:exercises-6} \subsection{\unverified{Exercise 6.6}}% \label{sub:exercise-6.6} Show that a set $A$ is a relation iff $A \subseteq \textop{dom} A \times \textop{ran} A$. \begin{proof} TODO \end{proof} \subsection{\unverified{Exercise 6.7}}% \label{sub:exercise-6.7} Show that if $R$ is a relation, then $\textop{fld} R = \bigcup\bigcup R$. \begin{proof} TODO \end{proof} \subsection{\unverified{Exercise 6.8}}% \label{sub:exercise-6.8} Show that for any set $\mathscr{A}$: \begin{align*} \textop{dom} \bigcup{\mathscr{A}} & = \bigcup\; \{ \textop{dom} R \mid R \in \mathscr{A} \}, \textop{ran} \bigcup{\mathscr{A}} & = \bigcup\; \{ \textop{ran} R \mid R \in \mathscr{A} \}. \end{align*} \begin{proof} TODO \end{proof} \subsection{\unverified{Exercise 6.9}}% \label{sub:exercise-6.9} Discuss the result of replacing the union operation by the intersection operation in the preceding problem. \begin{proof} TODO \end{proof} \end{document}
