How do you prove that two sets have the same cardinality?
- The proof of this fact, thoughnot particularly di?cult, is not entirely trivial, either. The fact that f and guarantee that such anhexists is called thethe Cantor-Bernstein-Schröeder theorem. This theorem is very useful for proving two setsAandBhave the same cardinality: it says that instead of ?nding a bijection
What is the cardinality of a set of real numbers?
- The cardinality of the set of real numbers is usually denoted by c. This result tells us that even though both R and N are infnite, the set of real numbers is in some sense 4 NOTES ON CARDINALITY larger" than the set of natural numbers; we denote this by writing @ 0< c.
Is cardinality uncountable?
- has the samecardinality as R, it is uncountable. Theorem 13.9 implies that 2 isuncountable. Other examples can be found in the exercises. SupposeBis an uncountable set andAis a set. Given that there is a surjective functionf :A!B, what can be said about the cardinality of A? Prove that the set Cof complex numbers is uncountable.
Why does B have the same cardinality?
- B have the same cardinality because there is a bijective functionf : A!Bgiven by the rule f(n)Æ ¡n. Several comments are in order. First, ifjAj Æ jBj, there can belotsofbijective functions fromAtoB.

1 Denition of cardinality
The cardinality of a set is a measure of the size of a set. When a setAis nite, its cardinality is the number of elements of the set, usually denoted by jAj. When the set is innite, comparing if two sets have the \same size" is a little dierent. Georg Cantor in the late 1800s came out with the following idea to compare innite sets: Denition 1.LetAandBbe sets. We sayjAj=jBjif and only if there exists a bijective functionf:A!B. Note that the denition also works for nite sets, because ifAandBare nite sets andf:A!Bis a bijection, thenjAj=jBj. Here are two other denitions that work for nite and innite sets: Denition 2.LetAandBbe sets. We sayjAj jBjif and only if there exists an onto functionf:A!B(orBis empty). Denition 3.LetAandBbe sets. We sayjAj jBjif there exists a one-to-one functionf:A!B(or ifAis empty). These denitions extend naturally to the following: jAj>jBjifjAj jBjandjAj 6=jBj, i.e., there exists an onto function fromAtoB, but no bijection exists fromAtoB. jAjLetf:A!Bbe dened as
f(a) =8 :b iifa=aifori= 1;2;:::;n b1otherwise:
Clearlyfis a function and its image isB, sofis onto. This proves that jAj jBj. Now, let's prove thatjAj 6=jBj. For the sake of contradiction, suppose jAj=jBj, i.e., suppose that there exists a bijectiong:A!B. SinceAis innite, then it has at leastn+ 1 elements, label thesea1;a2;:::;an;an+1. Sincegis one-to-one, theng(a1);g(a2);:::g(an+1) are all dierent, so the size ofBmust be at leastn+ 1. But the size ofBisn. This contradicts our assumption thatjAj=jBj. Since cardinality tries to measure size, it would be nice to show that a sub- set of another set has smaller cardinality. That's what the next proposition says: Proposition 2.IfAandBare sets andAB, thenjAj jBj. Proof.Letf:A!Bbe the functionf(a) =afora2A.fis one-to-one becausef(a) =f(b) =)a=b. Sincefis one-to-one by denitionjAj jBj. 23 Examples of bijections between innite sets
Proposition 3.The interval(0;1)has the same cardinality as the interval (0;7). Proof.Letf: (0;1)!(0;7) be dened byf(x) = 7x. Let's provefis a bijection. To prove thatfis a bijection we must show (a) thatfis one-to-one, and (b) thatfis onto. Let's show thatfis one-to-one: Letf(a) =f(b), then 7a= 7b, soa=b.Thereforefis one-to-one.
Let's show thatfis onto: Supposeb2(0;7). Leta=b=7, thenf(a) =7(b=7) =banda2(0;1), sobis in the image off. Sincebis arbitrary, then
fis onto. Sincefis one-to-one andfis onto,fis a bijection. Sincefis a bijection, the intervals (0;1) and (0;7) have the same cardinality.Proposition 4.The interval
2 ;2 has the same cardinality asR. Proof.To prove that the sets have the same cardinality we must nd a bijec- tion between them. I claim thatf(x) =tanxis a bijection from 2 ;2 toR. Let's start by showing it is one-to-one. Supposef(a) =f(b). Then tana= tanbwhereaandbare in the interval 2 ;2 . Thereforeaandb are angles between=2 and=2. Since tana= tanband they are angles with that restriction, thena=b. No let's showfis onto. Letxbe a real number. We need to show there exists ana2 2 ;2 such thatf(a) =x, i.e., such that tana=x. Let a= arctanx. Then tana=x. We need only verify thatais between=2 and=2. But the arctan function has range 2 ;2 , soamust be between =2 and=2.This concludes the proof.
A more illustrative proof is the graph off(x) = tanx(Figure 1). 3Figure 1: Note that in the graph, any horizontal line intersects the graph at most once, which means the
function is one-to-one. Also note that every horizontal line intersects the graph, so everyyvalue has at least
onexvalue. This means the function is onto. Proposition 5.The set of even integers has the same cardinality as the set of integers. Proof.Let 2Zbe the set of even integers. Letf:Z!2Zbe the function f(n) = 2n. fis one-to-one because iff(m) =f(n), then 2m= 2nand hencem=n. fis onto because ifnis an even integer, thenn= 2mfor some integerm (by the denition of even integer) and hencef(m) =n. So all even integers are in the image off, sofis onto. 44 Cardinality is an equivalence relation
In this section we will prove that the cardinality relation is an equivalence relation. We say two setsAandBare related by cardinality ifjAj=jBj. First note that any setAsatisesjAj=jAj, becausef:A!Adened byf(a) =ais a bijection. Therefore the cardinality relation is re exive. That cardinality is symmetric is not obvious, but it's not hard to prove. SupposejAj=jBj, therefore there exists a bijectionf:A!B. Sincef is one-to-one thenf1:Im(f)!Ais a bijection (it's one-to-one and onto by denition off1). Sincefis onto, thenIm(f) =B, thereforef1is a bijection fromBtoA. ThereforejBj=jAj. Transitivity is a bit harder to prove. Proving transitivity boils down to showing that given a bijection fromAtoBand another bijection fromB toC, there exists a bijection fromAtoC. We prove that in the following proposition (where we go even further and prove that the composition of two bijections is a bijection):Proposition 6.Letf:A!Bandg:B!Cbe bijections, then
gf:A!Cis a bijection. Proof.Let's start by proving thatgfis one-to-one. Supposegf(a) =g f(b). Theng(f(a)) =g(f(b)). Sincegis one-to-one, this impliesf(a) =f(b). Sincefis one-to-one,a=b. Thereforegfis one-to-one. Let's now prove thatgfis onto. Supposec2C. Sincec2Candgis onto, there existsb2Bsuch thatg(b) =c. Sinceb2Bandfis onto, there exists ana2Asuch thatf(a) =b. Thereforeg(f(a) =c, i.e.,gf(a) =c.Sincegfis one-to-one and onto, it is a bijection.
Since cardinality is re
exive, symmetric and transitive, then it is an equiv- alence relation. Exercise 1.Say that the setAis related to the setBifjAj jBj(where jAjis the cardinality of the setA).
