Starting Context



Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any map and its any extension that maps the extended area outside the original codomain, the extension preimage of any subset of the extension codomain is the union of the original map preimage of the intersection of the subset and the original codomain and the extension preimage of the subset minus the original codomain.

Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(S'_1\): \(\in \{\text{ the sets }\}\)
\(S'_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the sets }\}\)
\(S_1\): \(\subseteq S'_1\)
\(S_2\): \(\subseteq S'_2\)
\(f\): \(: S_1 \to S_2\)
\(f'\): \(: S'_1 \to S'_2\), such that \(f' (S'_1 \setminus S_1) \subseteq S'_2 \setminus S_2\)
\(S\): \(\subseteq S'_2\)
//

Statements:
\(f'^{-1} (S) = f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\)
//


2: Note


Especially, when \(S \subseteq S_2\), \(f'^{-1} (S) = f^{-1} (S)\), because \(S \cap S_2 = S\) and \(S \setminus S_2 = \emptyset\).


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(f'^{-1} (S) \subseteq f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\); Step 2: see that \(f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2) \subseteq f'^{-1} (S)\); Step 3: conclude the proposition.

Step 1:

For each \(p \in f'^{-1} (S)\), \(f' (p) \in S\), but while \(p \in S_1\) or \(p \in S'_1 \setminus S_1\), when \(p \in S_1\), \(f' (p) = f (p) \in S \cap S_2\), so, \(p \in f^{-1} (S \cap S_2)\), and when \(p \in S'_1 \setminus S_1\), \(f' (p) \in S \setminus S_2\), so, \(p \in f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\), so, \(p \in f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\).

So, \(f'^{-1} (S) \subseteq f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\).

Step 2:

For each \(p \in f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\), while \(p \in f^{-1} (S \cap S_2)\) or \(p \in f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\), when \(p \in f^{-1} (S \cap S_2)\), \(f (p) = f' (p) \in S \cap S_2 \subseteq S\), so, \(p \in f'^{-1} (S)\), and when \(p \in f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\), \(f' (p) \in S \setminus S_2 \subseteq S\), so, \(p \in f'^{-1} (S)\).

So, \(f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2) \subseteq f'^{-1} (S)\).

Step 3:

So, \(f'^{-1} (S) = f^{-1} (S \cap S_2) \cup f'^{-1} (S \setminus S_2)\).
