Power Set = set contains all possible subsets of a given sets
Let �be a given set then ℘�is power set of A
•With respect to A= {1,2,3,4}, we have subsets { 1 }, { 2}, { 3 },
{4}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {1, 4},{2, 3}, {2,4}, {3,4}, {1, 2,3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1,
3, 4}, {2, 3, 4} are proper subsets of A, then we also say that A
is the super set of the sets
•While ∅and {1,2,3,4}are improper subsets of A
•Using the above example, let �={1,2,3,4}then
•℘�={{ 1 }, { 2}, { 3 }, {4}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {1, 4},{2, 3}, {2,4},
{3,4}, {1, 2,3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4}, {1,2,3,4}, { }}
•2^4=16
•{1,2,3}=2^3=8
