This immediately shows it is not equal to the other two. Now consider object $\emptyset$. This object is a member of $\{\emptyset\}$ but is not a member of $\{\{\emptyset\}\}$.

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 $A$. In other words, every member of $\powerset{A}$ is a subset of $A$. By \nameref{sub:exercise-3.5}, $\bigcup \powerset{A} \subseteq A$. \paragraph{(ii)}% \label{par:exercise-3.6a-ii} Let $x \in A$. 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 $x \in \powerset{(A \cap B)}$. By the definition of the \nameref{ref:power-set}, $$\powerset{(A \cap B)} = \{ y \mid y \subseteq A \cap B \}.$$ Thus $x \subseteq A \cap B$, meaning $x \subseteq A$ and $x \subseteq B$. 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 $y \not\in A$.
