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:

    The extra worry began it—on the
    Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
    And then and there. Meanwhile the host
    Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
    No one did much about eating.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
