Definition df-iun 3971
Description: Define indexed union. Definition indexed union in [Stoll] p. 45. In most applications, A is independent of x (although this is not required by the definition), and B depends on x i.e. can be read informally as B(x). We call x the index, A the index set, and B the indexed set. In most books, x A 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 x and A are in the same distinct variable group (meaning A cannot depend on x) and that B and x do not share a distinct variable group (meaning that can be thought of as B(x) i.e. can be substituted with a class expression containing x). 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 B is a function. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-1998.)
