    For symmetric difference, the sets ( ) and () = ( ) are always disjoint. So these two sets are equal if and only if they are both equal to ∅ . {\displaystyle \varnothing .} Moreover, L ∖ ( M R ) = ∅ {\displaystyle L\,\setminus \,(M\,\triangle \,R)=\varnothing } if and only if L ∩ M ∩ R = ∅ and L ⊆ M ∪ R . {\displaystyle L\cap M ...

  3. Disjoint sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint_sets

    Two disjoint sets. In set theory in mathematics and formal logic, two sets are said to be disjoint sets if they have no element in common. Equivalently, two disjoint sets are sets whose intersection is the empty set. [1] For example, {1, 2, 3} and {4, 5, 6} are disjoint sets, while {1, 2, 3} and {3, 4, 5} are not disjoint. A collection of two ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    The formula expresses the fact that the sum of the sizes of the two sets may be too large since some elements may be counted twice. The double-counted elements are those in the intersection of the two sets and the count is corrected by subtracting the size of the intersection.

  6. Multiset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

    Difference: the difference of A and B is the multiset C with multiplicity function () = (() (),). Two multisets are disjoint if their supports are disjoint sets . This is equivalent to saying that their intersection is the empty multiset or that their sum equals their union.

  7. Axiom of regularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_regularity

    Applying the axiom of regularity to S, let B be an element of S which is disjoint from S. By the definition of S, B must be f(k) for some natural number k. However, we are given that f(k) contains f(k+1) which is also an element of S. So f(k+1) is in the intersection of f(k) and S. This contradicts the fact that they are disjoint sets.

  8. Intersection (set theory) - Wikipedia

    That is, for any sets ,, and , one has = () = () Inside a universe , one may define the complement of to be the set of all elements of not in . Furthermore, the intersection of A {\displaystyle A} and B {\displaystyle B} may be written as the complement of the union of their complements, derived easily from De Morgan's laws : A ∩ B = ( A c ...

    A complete bipartite graph with m = 5 and n = 3 The Heawood graph is bipartite.. In the mathematical field of graph theory, a bipartite graph (or bigraph) is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two disjoint and independent sets and , that is, every edge connects a vertex in to one in .
