Union Set Operation

A Union Set Operation is a Set Operation that combines the Members of Two or more sets into One set.

• AKA: Union, Union Operation, ∪, Set Union, Set Union Operation, Set Sum, Set Maximum.
• Example(s):
  • ∪({1},{2}) ⇒ {1,2}.
  • ∪({1,2}, {2,3}) ⇒ {1,2,3}.
  • ∪({1,11,3}, {10,2}, {7}) ⇒ {10,2,1,3,11,7}.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • ∩({1,2}, {2,3}) ⇒ {2}, the Intersection Set Operation.
  • A^C({1}) ⇒ {2,3,4,5,..}, the Complement Set Operation.

  • In set theory, the term Union (denoted as ∪) refers to a set operation used in the convergence of set elements to form a resultant set containing the elements of both sets. As a simple example, a union of two disjoint sets, which do not have elements in common results in a set containing all elements from both sets.
