Transitive Set

Transitive Set

In set theory, a set A is transitive, if and only if

  • whenever xA, and yx, then yA, or, equivalently,
  • whenever xA, and x is not an urelement, then x is a subset of A.

Similarly, a class M is transitive if every element of M is a subset of M.

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    [T]he dignity of parliament it seems can brook no opposition to it’s power. Strange that a set of men who have made sale of their virtue to the minister should yet talk of retaining dignity!
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
