Original question and givens

Finite integer set A=[-9, 0, 1, 9]. 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=[-9, 0, 1, 9]. 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=[-9, 0, 1, 9]

After

extensional set=[-9, 0, 1, 9]

Conditions: none

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