  2. Ordered pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_pair

    The ordered pair (a, b) is different from the ordered pair (b, a), unless a = b. In contrast, the unordered pair, denoted {a, b}, always equals the unordered pair {b, a}. Ordered pairs are also called 2-tuples, or sequences (sometimes, lists in a computer science context) of length 2. Ordered pairs of scalars are sometimes called 2-dimensional ...

    2. Kripke–Platek set theory consists roughly of the predicative parts of set theory Kuratowski 1. Kazimierz Kuratowski 2. A Kuratowski ordered pair is a definition of an ordered pair using only set theoretical concepts, specifically, the ordered pair (a, b) is defined as the set {{a}, {a, b}}. 3.

    By 1914 Norbert Wiener, using Whitehead and Russell's symbolism, eliminated axiom *12.11 (the "two-variable" (relational) version of the axiom of reducibility) by expressing a relation as an ordered pair using the null set. At approximately the same time, Hausdorff (1914, p. 32) gave the definition of the ordered pair (a, b) as {{a,1}, {b, 2

    'Ordered pairs = Kuratowski def., binary relations = sets of ordered pairs w/o explicit domain and codomain/range, functions = restricted binary relations, indexed families = syntactic sugar for functs., tuples = way to specify the members of the underlying set of an indexed family while allowing readers to assume that the indexing set is the ...

    In NFU, these two definitions have a technical disadvantage: the Kuratowski ordered pair is two types higher than its projections, while the Wiener ordered pair is three types higher. It is common to postulate the existence of a type-level ordered pair (a pair (,) which is the same type as its projections) in NFU. It is convenient to use the ...

  8. Kuratowski's closure-complement problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuratowski's_closure...

    In point-set topology, Kuratowski's closure-complement problem asks for the largest number of distinct sets obtainable by repeatedly applying the set operations of closure and complement to a given starting subset of a topological space. The answer is 14. This result was first published by Kazimierz Kuratowski in 1922. [1]

  9. Kuratowski and Ryll-Nardzewski measurable selection theorem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuratowski_and_Ryll...

    In mathematics, the Kuratowski–Ryll-Nardzewski measurable selection theorem is a result from measure theory that gives a sufficient condition for a set-valued function to have a measurable selection function. [1] [2] [3] It is named after the Polish mathematicians Kazimierz Kuratowski and Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski. [4]
