Definition df-ihash 11028

Description: Define the set size function ♯, which gives the cardinality of a finite set as a member of NN0, and assigns all infinite sets the value +oo. For example, (♯ ` { 0 , 1 , 2 } ) = 3.

Since we don't know that an arbitrary set is either finite or infinite (by inffiexmid 7091), the behavior beyond finite sets is not as useful as it might appear. For example, we wouldn't expect to be able to define this function in a meaningful way on ~P 1o, which cannot be shown to be finite (per pw1fin 7095).

Note that we use the sharp sign (♯) for this function and we use the different character octothorpe (#) for the apartness relation (see df-ap 8752). We adopt the former notation from Corollary 8.2.4 of [AczelRathjen], p. 80 (although that work only defines it for finite sets).

This definition (in terms of U. and ~<_) is not taken directly from the literature, but for finite sets should be equivalent to the conventional definition that the size of a finite set is the unique natural number which is equinumerous to the given set. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 19-Feb-2022.)
