Starting Context



Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any product set, any \(2\) subsets, and any element of any subproduct, the cross section of the 1st subset minus the 2nd subset by the element is the cross section of the 1st subset by the element minus the cross section of the 2nd subset by the element.

1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(J'\): \(\in \{\text{ the possibly uncountable index sets }\}\)
\(\{S_{j'} \in \{\text{ the sets }\} \vert j' \in J'\}\):
\(\times_{j' \in J'} S_{j'}\): \(= \text{ the product set }\)
\(Q_1\): \(\subseteq \times_{j' \in J'} S_{j'}\)
\(Q_2\): \(\subseteq \times_{j' \in J'} S_{j'}\)
\(J\): \(\subset J'\), such that \(J \neq \emptyset\)
\(\times_{j \in J} s_j\): \(\in \times_{j \in J} S_j\)
//

Statements:
\((Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} = (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \((Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \subseteq (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\); Step 2: see that \((Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \subseteq (Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

Let \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \in (Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\) be any.

\(\times_{j' \in J'} s_{j'} \in Q_1 \setminus Q_2\).

\(\times_{j' \in J'} s_{j'} \in Q_1\) and \(\times_{j' \in J'} s_{j'} \notin Q_2\).

So, \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \in (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\) and \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \notin (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).

So, \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \in (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).

So, \((Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \subseteq (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).

Step 2:

Let \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \in (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\) be any.

\(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \in (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\) and \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \notin (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).

\(\times_{j' \in J'} s_{j'} \in Q_1\) and \(\times_{j' \in J'} s_{j'} \notin Q_2\).

So, \(\times_{j' \in J'} s_{j'} \in Q_1 \setminus Q_2\).

So, \(\times_{l \in J' \setminus J} s_l \in (Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).

So, \((Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \subseteq (Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).

Step 3:

So, \((Q_1 \setminus Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} = (Q_1)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]} \setminus (Q_2)_{[\times_{j \in J} s_j]}\).
