CHAPTER 1 Sets - people.vcu.edu
... Given two sets A and B, it is possible to “multiply” them to produce a new set denoted as A × B. This operation is called the Cartesian product. To understand it, we must first understand the idea of an ordered pair. Definition 1.1 An ordered pair is a list ( x, y) of two things x and y, enclosed in ...

Such types of functions are called recursive functions. • A function, f, is also said to be recursive if it calls another function, g, which in turn calls f. • Although it may sound strange for a function to call itself, it is in fact not so strange, as many mathe ...

On the existence of a connected component
... It is easier to build a connected component when the graph has only finitely many components. Theorem RCA0 proves that if a countable graph G has a finite set of vertices V0 such that every vertex in G is path connected to some vertex in V0 , then G can be decomposed into components. In particular, ...

Prolog arithmetic

Section 2.3: Infinite sets and cardinality

In other words, A and B have the same cardinality if it’s possible to match each element of A to a different element of B in such a ...
