What is $ {square}_{mathscr A triangledown mathscr B} $?












2












$begingroup$


I'm currently working trough a set of notes on uniform spaces. I came upon a problem that I'm having some difficulties solving, so I am seeking assistance in the form of clarifications, hints or explanations.



In the notes I'm working trough, the following are the
definitions of the terms used:



• X is an arbitrary set;



• $ mathscr A $ and $ mathscr B $ are subsets of the power set of $ X $;



• $ {square}_{mathscr A} := {bigcup}_{A in mathscr A} A×A $;



• $ mathscr A triangledown mathscr B $ := {$A cup B | A in mathscr A , B in mathscr B , A cap B ne Ø$} ;



• $ circ $ is just composition of binary relations.



I am required to prove the following equality:



$ {square}_{mathscr A triangledown mathscr B} = ({square}_{mathscr A} circ {square}_{mathscr A}) cup ({square}_{mathscr A} circ {square}_{mathscr B}) cup ({square}_{mathscr B} circ {square}_{mathscr A}) cup ({square}_{mathscr B} circ {square}_{mathscr B}) $



Thus far, I have proved the inclusion



$ {square}_{mathscr A triangledown mathscr B} subseteq ({square}_{mathscr A} circ {square}_{mathscr A}) cup ({square}_{mathscr A} circ {square}_{mathscr B}) cup ({square}_{mathscr B} circ {square}_{mathscr A}) cup ({square}_{mathscr B} circ {square}_{mathscr B}) $



However, I'm having some trouble with the other direction. For instance, what if $ forall A in mathscr A, B in mathscr B (A cap B = Ø) $ ?



It seems to me thay in this case the left hand side is empty, whereas the right hand side is not, I suspect I may be missing some detail.

    It's a notational mess. How can an element b, of A subset P(X×X) be a binary operation? If a,b are binary operations, what is their composition?

    Not binary operations, binary relations.

    @WilliamElliot composition of relations, and it's defined as usual: if $R,S subseteq X times X$, then $R circ S = {(x,z) in X times X: exists y in X: (x,y) in R, (y,z) in S}$.

    The definition $Box_{mathscr{A}}$ is weird: $A in mathscr{A}$ means $A subseteq X times X$ and then $A times A$ is in $X^4$?

    Thanks for pointing that out, I had made some mistakes and typos in some of the definitions, I typed it up on my mobile phone and simply didn't notice. It should be correct now.

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
