Subset




In Mathematics , especially in Set Theory , a Set ''A'' is a subset of a set ''B'', if ''A'' is "contained" inside ''B''. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called '''inclusion'''. Every set is a subset of itself.

More formally, If ''A'' and ''B'' are Set s and every Element of ''A'' is also an element of ''B'', then:
  • ''A'' is a subset of (or is '''included''' in) ''B'', denoted by ''A'' ⊆ ''B'',

  • or equivalently

  • ''B'' is a superset of (or '''includes''') ''A'', denoted by ''B'' ⊇ ''A''.


If ''A'' is a subset of ''B'', but ''A'' is not Equal to ''B'', then A is also a proper (or '''strict''') '''subset''' of ''B''. This is written as ''A'' ⊂ ''B''. In the same way, ''B'' ⊃ ''A'' means that B is a '''proper superset''' of ''A''.

  For The "http://wwwinformationdelightinfo/encyclopedia/entry/power_set" class="copylinks">Power Set of a set ''S'', the inclusion partial order is (up to an Order-isomorphism ) the Cartesian Product of ''S'' (the Cardinality of ''S'') copies of the partial order on {0,1}, for which 0 &lt 1
