  2. 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 ...

    One set is said to intersect another set if . Sets that do not intersect are said to be disjoint . The power set of X {\displaystyle X} is the set of all subsets of X {\displaystyle X} and will be denoted by ℘ ( X ) = def { L : L ⊆ X } . {\displaystyle \wp (X)~{\stackrel {\scriptscriptstyle {\text{def}}}{=}}~\{~L~:~L\subseteq X~\}.}

  5. 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.

  6. Partially ordered set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set

    Series-parallel partial orders are formed from the ordinal sum operation (in this context called series composition) and another operation called parallel composition. Parallel composition is the disjoint union of two partially ordered sets, with no order relation between elements of one set and elements of the other set.

  7. Hyperplane separation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane_separation_theorem

    In geometry, the hyperplane separation theorem is a theorem about disjoint convex sets in n-dimensional Euclidean space.There are several rather similar versions. In one version of the theorem, if both these sets are closed and at least one of them is compact, then there is a hyperplane in between them and even two parallel hyperplanes in between them separated by a gap.

  8. Almost disjoint sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_disjoint_sets

    However, the unit interval [0, 1] and the set of rational numbers Q are not almost disjoint, because their intersection is infinite. This definition extends to any collection of sets. A collection of sets is pairwise almost disjoint or mutually almost disjoint if any two distinct sets in the collection are almost disjoint. Often the prefix ...
