Regular cardinal

In set theory, a regular cardinal is a cardinal number that is equal to its own cofinality. More explicitly, this means that is a regular cardinal if and only if every unbounded subset has cardinality . Infinite well-ordered cardinals that are not regular are called singular cardinals. Finite cardinal numbers are typically not called regular or singular. In the presence of the axiom of choice, any cardinal number can be well-ordered, and then the following are equivalent for a cardinal : 1. * is a regular cardinal. 2. * If and for all , then . 3. * If , and if and for all , then . 4. * The category of sets of cardinality less than and all functions between them is closed under colimits of cardinality less than . 5. * is a regular ordinal (see below) Crudely speaking, this means that a regular cardinal is one that cannot be broken down into a small number of smaller parts. The situation is slightly more complicated in contexts where the axiom of choice might fail, as in that case not all cardinals are necessarily the cardinalities of well-ordered sets. In that case, the above equivalence holds for well-orderable cardinals only. An infinite ordinal is a regular ordinal if it is a limit ordinal that is not the limit of a set of smaller ordinals that as a set has order type less than . A regular ordinal is always an initial ordinal, though some initial ordinals are not regular, e.g., (see the example below). (Wikipedia).

What is the difference between a regular and irregular polygon

👉 Learn about polygons and how to classify them. A polygon is a plane shape bounded by a finite chain of straight lines. A polygon can be concave or convex and it can also be regular or irregular. A concave polygon is a polygon in which at least one of its interior angles is greater than 1

By the Cantor-Bendixson theorem, subtrees of the binary tree on $\omega$ satisfy a dichotomy - either the tree has countably many branches or there is a perfect subtree (and in particular, the tree has continuum manybranches, regardless of the size of the continuum). We generalize this to

It is well-known that forcing over a model of material set theory co rresponds to taking sheaves over a small site (a poset, a complete Boolean algebra, and so on). One phenomenon that occurs is that given a small site, all new subsets created are smaller than a fixed bound depending on th

Proof: Regular Bipartite Graph is Balanced | Graph Theory, Partite Sets

If G is an r-regular bipartite graph, r greater than 0, with partite sets U and W, then |U| = |W|, that is, the number of vertices in both partite sets is the same! Such a bipartite graph - one with partite sets of equal cardinalities - is called balanced. We will prove this result in toda
