	Disjoint union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In set theory, a disjoint union (or discriminated union) is a union of a collection of sets whose members are pairwise disjoint.
		This notation is meant to be suggestive of the fact that the cardinality of the disjoint union is the sum of the cardinalities of the terms in the family.
		In the language of category theory, the disjoint union is the coproduct in the category of sets.

		This is also often called being pairwise disjoint and is a much stronger condition than that the intersection of all the images is empty.
		Of course, there are many categories where this usage is unnatural: In the category of pointed sets, the coproduct will be the disjoint union with the distinguished points identified.
		This is version 4 of disjoint union, born on 2004-03-01, modified 2004-03-23.

		In set theory, a disjoint union or discriminated union is a set union in which each element of the resulting union is disjoint from each of the others; the intersection over a disjoint union is the empty set.
		The term is also used to refer to a modified union operation which indexes the elements according to which set they originated in, ensuring that the result is a disjoint union.
		As mentioned, one can take the disjoint union of sets that are not in fact disjoint by using an indexing device.

		However, union operations are slow, because when two sets are united, we must walk through one set and relabel all the items so that they reference the other set.
		The quick- union data structure comprises a _forest_ (a collection of trees), in which each item is initially the root of its own tree; then trees are merged by union operations.
		Union is a simple O(1) time operation: we simply make the root of one set become a child of the root of the other set.

		In topology and related areas of mathematics, the disjoint union (also called the direct sum, free union, or coproduct) of a family of topological spaces is a space formed by equipping the disjoint union of the underlying sets with a natural topology called the disjoint union topology.
		The disjoint union topology on X is defined as the finest topology on X for which the canonical injections are continuous (i.e.
		This shows that the disjoint union is the coproduct in the category of topological spaces.

	Class notes CS251B -- Winter 1997
		Disjoint sets structures are yet another new abstract data type (A.D.T.) for which we must now define a mathematical model and a series of related operations.
		Disjoint sets, sometimes called partitions, are the model of this A.D.T. A partition is a collection of disjoint sets such that the union of the sets is the entire space.
		When it is subject to a Union operation where its representative pointer changes, the size of the new set in which x now lives in is at least twice as large.

		Given a tournament that has a disjoint union of directed paths as a feedback arc set we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for this feedback arc set to have minimum size [1].
		We show that if a tournament has a feedback arc set consisting of a disjoint union of directed paths, then this feedback arc set is minimum-sized if and only if the tournament does not contain one of two types of forbidden digraphs.
		In [1] as a consequence of our classification of all tournaments having a disjoint union of directed paths as a feedback arc set, we obtained precise reversing numbers for all digraphs that are a disjoint union of directed paths.

		When writing routines that operate on disjoint union types, we generally write conditionals, which check which kind of thing we've got, of the multiple kinds of things that count as members of the larger type.
		Notice that the main structure of this definition is a disjoint union; the set of empty lists and the set of pairs don't overlap, because an empty list is never a pair and vice versa.
		And within the branch for the recursive case, we have recursion for each part that is recursive in the definition--a binary infix-expr has two subexpressions that are also infix-expr's, so when we compute the value of a binary infix-expr, we must compute the values of those infix-exprs (the car and the caddr).

	Equivalence Relation
		Equivalence relation is defined in a branch of mathematics called set theory, a vital branch underpinning all branches of mathematics and those fields that use mathematics.
		The power of an equivalence relation lies in its ability to partition a set into the disjoint union of subsets called equivalence classes.
		Because of its power to partition a set, an equivalence relation is one of the most used and pervasive tools in mathematics.

	The Disjoint Sum
		Given two sets, A and B, we define their disjoint sum, A+B, to be the collection of symbols of form (a,) with a in A or of form (,b) with b in B. If A and B are ordered, we can extend their orders to A+B by deeming every (a,) to come before every (,b).
		their intersection is empty), which is where the disjoint sum (or disjoint union) gets its name.
		It should be noted that the standard embeddings of A and B in A+B compose with this to yield f and g as appropriate: in this sense, A+B is a minimal set via embeddings of A and B in which one may factorise any pair of functions, as above.

	Coproduct (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The coproduct indexed by the empty set (that is, an empty coproduct) is the same as an initial object in C.
		In the case of topological spaces coproducts are disjoint unions on the underlying sets, and the open sets are sets open in each of the spaces, in a rather evident sense (see disjoint union (topology)).
		In the category of pointed spaces, fundamental in homotopy theory, the coproduct is the wedge sum (which amounts to joining a collection of spaces with base points at a common base point).
