  • Prove that there is no bijection between any set A and its power set P(A) of A.

    24567 Prove that there is no bijection between any set A and its power set P(A) of A. There is no bijection between any set A and its power set P(A) of A. For finite sets, proof is trivial since |A| = n and |P(A)| = 2^n.
