|

* The set containing no items is called the empty set. Representation: `∅`
|

* The empty set can be described as `∅ = {x|x ≠ x}`
|

* The empty set is always unique.

## Set operations among two sets
|
||||
### Union
|
||||
Given two sets `A` and `B`, the union of the two sets are the items that appear in either `A` or `B`, written as `A ∪ B`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
A ∪ B = {x|x∈A∨x∈B}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Intersection
|
||||
Given two sets `A` and `B`, the intersection of the two sets are the items that appear in both `A` and `B`, written as `A ∩ B`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
A ∩ B = {x|x∈A,x∈B}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Difference
|
||||
Given two sets `A` and `B`, the set difference of `A` with `B` is every item in `A` that does not belong to `B`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
A \ B = {x|x∈A,x∉B}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Symmetrical difference
|
||||
Given two sets `A` and `B`, the symmetrical difference is all items among `A` and `B` that doesn't appear in their intersections.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
A △ B = {x|(x∈A∧x∉B)∨(x∈B∧x∉A)}
|
||||
|
||||
A △ B = (A \ B) ∪ (B \ A)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cartesian product
|
||||
Given two sets `A` and `B`, the cartesian product between `A` and `B` consists of a set containing all combinations of items of `A` and `B`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
A × B = { {x, y} | x ∈ A, y ∈ B }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## "Generalized" operations
|
||||
### General union
|
||||
Better known as "flattening" of a set of sets.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
∪A = {x|X∈A,x∈X}
|
||||
∪A={a,b,c,d,e,f}
|
||||
∪B={a}
|
||||
∪C=a∪{c,d}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### General intersection
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
∩ A = A1 ∩ A2 ∩ … ∩ An
|
||||
```
