Strong generating set

In abstract algebra, especially in the area of group theory, a strong generating set of a permutation group is a generating set that clearly exhibits the permutation structure as described by a . A stabilizer chain is a sequence of subgroups, each containing the next and each stabilizing one more point. Let be a group of permutations of the set Let be a sequence of distinct integers, such that the pointwise stabilizer of is trivial (i.e., let be a base for ). Define and define to be the pointwise stabilizer of . A strong generating set (SGS) for G relative to the base is a set such that for each such that . The base and the SGS are said to be non-redundant if for . A base and strong generating set (BSGS) for a group can be computed using the Schreier–Sims algorithm. (Wikipedia).

What is a Power Set? | Set Theory, Subsets, Cardinality

What is a power set? A power set of any set A is the set containing all subsets of the given set A. For example, if we have the set A = {1, 2, 3}. Then the power set of A, denoted P(A), is {{ }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}} where { } is the empty set. We also know that

Every Set is an Element of its Power Set | Set Theory

Every set is an element of its own power set. This is because the power set of a set S, P(S), contains all subsets of S. By definition, every set is a subset of itself, and thus by definition of the power set of S, it must contain S. This is even true for the always-fun empty set! We discu

Finding Power Set Examples | Set Theory, Subsets and Power Sets

How do we find the power set of a set? That's what we'll go over in today's set theory video lesson with 4 examples! Remember the power set of a set S is the set P(S) consisting of all subsets of S. Don't forget to include the empty set and the set S itself! Also recall that the cardinali

Power Set of the Math Set {m, a, t, h} | Set Theory

We find the power set of the set {m, a, t, h}, going over strategies and the general method to use for finding power sets. #SetTheory Recall the power set of a set S, P(S), is the set of all subsets of S. Thus, the cardinality of the power set of S is the number of subsets of S, which is

Listing Subsets Using Tree Diagrams | Set Theory, Subsets, Power Sets

Here is a method for completely listing the subsets of a given set using tree diagrams. It's a handy way to make sure you don't miss any subsets when trying to find them. It's not super efficient, but it is reliable! The process is pretty simple, we begin with the empty set, and then branc

Zermelo Fraenkel Powerset

This is part of a series of lectures on the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms for set theory. We discuss the powerset axiom, the strongest of the ZF axioms, and explain why the notion of a powerset is so hard to pin down precisely. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com
