Starting Context



Target Context


  • The reader will have a description and a proof of the proposition that for any set and any \(2\) sets of subsets, if the former set of subsets is contained in the latter set of subsets, the \(\sigma\)-algebra generated by the former set is contained in the \(\sigma\)-algebra generated by the latter set.

Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(S'\): \(\in \{\text{ the sets }\}\)
\(S_1\): \(\subseteq Pow (S')\)
\(S_2\): \(\subseteq Pow (S')\)
//

Statements:
\(S_1 \subseteq S_2\)
\(\implies\)
\(\sigma (S_1) \subseteq \sigma (S_2)\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: see that \(S_1 \subseteq \sigma (S_2)\) and \(\sigma (S_1) \subseteq \sigma (S_2)\).

Step 1:

\(S_1 \subseteq S_2 \subseteq \sigma (S_2)\), by the definition of \(\sigma\)-algebra of set generated by set of subsets.

So, \(\sigma (S_2)\) is a \(\sigma\)-algebra such that \(S_1 \subseteq \sigma (S_2)\), so, \(\sigma (S_1) \subseteq \sigma (S_2)\), by the definition of \(\sigma\)-algebra of set generated by set of subsets.
