Original question and givens

Finite integer set A=[]. List all subsets, each increasingly ordered; order the outer list by size and then numeric lexicographic order. The empty set’s powerset contains the empty subset.

  • G001 — Finite integer set A=[]. List all subsets, each increasingly ordered; order the outer list by size and then numeric lexicographic order. The empty set’s powerset contains the empty subset.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

raw integer list=[]

After

extensional set=[]

Conditions: none

A set depends on its elements;deduplication and numeric ordering do not change membership.The original list is retained as source.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: set_extensionality_normalization · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

no elements processed

After

[[]]

Conditions: none

The empty set has one subset,the empty set itself;its power set is not an empty list.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: power_set_empty_initial · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

(2)^0

After

power-set cardinality = 1

Conditions: none

Evaluate the finite nonnegative-integer power exactly; exponent0 uses the polynomial multiplicative identity.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: integer_power · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

[[]]

After

all 1 subsets in size-then-numeric-lex order

Conditions: none

Order subsets first by size,then numeric lexicographic order,with increasing elements inside each subset.This constructs only subsets of the supplied finite A,not unrestricted comprehension.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_power_set_completeness · Uses: G001, S003

Reverse checks

  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

[[]]

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
