Let $M$ be a non-empty set whose elements are sets. What are $F={A×{A} : A⊆M, A≠∅}$ and $⋃F$?

Mathematics Asked by Andrea Burgio on November 28, 2020

I think it’s not so difficult but I struggling a little to figure it out, I want to make sure I’m correct, is $F$ a set of the form:
$F={ {(a, A), (b, A), …}, {(α, B), (β, B), …}, …}$ for all $a,b,…∈A$ and $α,β,…∈B$, where $A,B,…⊆M$?

and $⋃F$ a set of the form:
$⋃F={(a, A), (b, A), …,(α, B), (β, B), …}$?

Thank you!

One Answer

$y$ is an element of $F$ iff it has the shape $y=Atimes{A}$ where $Asubseteq M$ and $Aneqvarnothing$.

The equality in your title already states this and cannot essentially be improved, so you do not have to bother about $F$ itself.

$x$ is an element of $bigcup F$ iff $xin y$ for some $yin F$.

Referring to the first line we get:

$x$ is an element of $bigcup F$ iff $xin Atimes{A}$ for some $A$ with $Asubseteq M$ and $Aneqvarnothing$.

That means that $x$ must have the shape $x=(a,A)$ where $ain A$.

Proved is now that:$$bigcup F={(a,A)mid ain Asubseteq M}$$ The condition $Aneqvarnothing$ does not need to be mentioned here because $ain A$ implies that $Aneqvarnothing$.
