Ultrafilter (set theory)

In the mathematical field of set theory, an ultrafilter is a maximal proper filter: it is a filter on a given non-empty set which is a certain type of non-empty family of subsets of that is not equal to the power set of (such filters are called proper) and that is also "maximal" in that there does not exist any other proper filter on that contains it as a proper subset. Said differently, a proper filter is called an ultrafilter if there exists exactly one proper filter that contains it as a subset, that proper filter (necessarily) being itself. More formally, an ultrafilter on is a proper filter that is also a maximal filter on with respect to set inclusion, meaning that there does not exist any proper filter on that contains as a proper subset. Ultrafilters on sets are an important special instance of ultrafilters on partially ordered sets, where the partially ordered set consists of the power set and the partial order is subset inclusion Ultrafilters have many applications in set theory, model theory, and topology.

Introduction to sets || Set theory Overview - Part 1

A set is the mathematical model for a collection of different things; a set contains elements or members, which can be mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other #sets. The #set with no element is the empty

What are Supersets? | Set Theory, Subsets, Set Relations

What are supersets? We'll be going over the definition and examples of supersets in today's video set theory lesson! If B is a subset of A then A is a superset of B. The superset relation is the same as the subset relation but in the opposite direction! Remember if every element of B is

What is a Set Complement?

What is the complement of a set? Sets in mathematics are very cool, and one of my favorite thins in set theory is the complement and the universal set. In this video we will define complement in set theory, and in order to do so you will also need to know the meaning of universal set. I go

Why is the Empty Set a Subset of Every Set? | Set Theory, Subsets, Subset Definition

The empty set is a very cool and important part of set theory in mathematics. The empty set contains no elements and is denoted { } or with the empty set symbol ∅. As a result of the empty set having no elements is that it is a subset of every set. But why is that? We go over that in this

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
