| Description: Define the class of
cosets by 𝑅: 𝑥 and 𝑦 are cosets by
𝑅 iff there exists a set 𝑢 such
that both 𝑢𝑅𝑥 and
𝑢𝑅𝑦 hold, i.e., both 𝑥 and
𝑦
are are elements of the 𝑅
-coset of 𝑢 (see dfcoss2 36539 and the comment of dfec2 8501). 𝑅 is
usually a relation.
This concept simplifies theorems relating partition and equivalence: the
left side of these theorems relate to 𝑅, the right side relate to
≀ 𝑅 (see e.g. ~? pet ). Without the
definition of ≀ 𝑅 we
should have to relate the right side of these theorems to a composition
of a converse (cf. dfcoss3 36540) or to the range of a range Cartesian
product of classes (cf. dfcoss4 36541), which would make the theorems
complicated and confusing. Alternate definition is dfcoss2 36539.
Technically, we can define it via composition (dfcoss3 36540) or as the
range of a range Cartesian product (dfcoss4 36541), but neither of these
definitions reveal directly how the cosets by 𝑅 relate to each
other. We define functions (df-funsALTV 36792, df-funALTV 36793) and
disjoints (dfdisjs 36819, dfdisjs2 36820, df-disjALTV 36816, dfdisjALTV2 36825)
with the help of it as well. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa,
