The Problem: Show that for every set $$A$$ it holds that $$|A| < |2^A|$$. A proof: The basic idea is to generalize Cantor's diagonal argument. Assume that there is a set $$A$$ such that $$|2^A| \leq ... http://blog.caero.de/?p=243 [caption id="attachment_233" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Black Forest gateau"][/caption] As I said several times before, I like to push myself in several areas.
