Definition df-iun 3971
Description: Define indexed union. Definition indexed union in [Stoll] p. 45. In most applications, is independent of (although this is not required by the definition), and depends on i.e. can be read informally as . We call the index, the index set, and the indexed set. In most books, is written as a subscript or underneath a union symbol . We use a special union symbol to make it easier to distinguish from plain class union. In many theorems, you will see that and are in the same distinct variable group (meaning cannot depend on ) and that and do not share a distinct variable group (meaning that can be thought of as i.e. can be substituted with a class expression containing ). An alternate definition tying indexed union to ordinary union is dfiun2 4001. Theorem uniiun 4019 provides a definition of ordinary union in terms of indexed union. Theorems fniunfv 5466 and funiunfv 5467 are useful when is a function. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-1998.)
