  2. Complement (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complement_(set_theory)

    If A is a set, then the absolute complement of A (or simply the complement of A) is the set of elements not in A (within a larger set that is implicitly defined). In other words, let U be a set that contains all the elements under study; if there is no need to mention U, either because it has been previously specified, or it is obvious and unique, then the absolute complement of A is the ...

  3. Difference set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_set

    An example of a (7,3,1) difference set in the group / is the subset {,,}. The translates of this difference set form the Fano plane. Since every difference set gives a symmetric design, the parameter set must satisfy the Bruck–Ryser–Chowla theorem. [4]

    A universe set is an absorbing element of binary union . The empty set is an absorbing element of binary intersection and binary Cartesian product , and it is also a left absorbing element of set subtraction :

    A set of polygons in an Euler diagram This set equals the one depicted above since both have the very same elements.. In mathematics, a set is a collection of different [1] things; [2] [3] [4] these things are called elements or members of the set and are typically mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other ...

  6. Algebra of sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_of_sets

    The algebra of sets is the set-theoretic analogue of the algebra of numbers. Just as arithmetic addition and multiplication are associative and commutative, so are set union and intersection; just as the arithmetic relation "less than or equal" is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive, so is the set relation of "subset".

  7. Symmetric difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_difference

    In mathematics, the symmetric difference of two sets, also known as the disjunctive union and set sum, is the set of elements which are in either of the sets, but not in their intersection. For example, the symmetric difference of the sets { 1 , 2 , 3 } {\displaystyle \{1,2,3\}} and { 3 , 4 } {\displaystyle \{3,4\}} is { 1 , 2 , 4 ...

    1. The difference of two sets: x~y is the set of elements of x not in y. 2. An equivalence relation \ The difference of two sets: x\y is the set of elements of x not in y. − The difference of two sets: x−y is the set of elements of x not in y. ≈ Has the same cardinality as × A product of sets / A quotient of a set by an equivalence ...

  9. Set theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory

    For instance, for the sets {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4}, the symmetric difference set is {1, 4}. It is the set difference of the union and the intersection, (A ∪ B) \ (A ∩ B) or (A \ B) ∪ (B \ A). Cartesian product of A and B, denoted A × B, is the set whose members are all possible ordered pairs (a, b), where a is a member of A and b is a ...
