This is called the complement of the set.
a set of which all the elements are contained in another set.
It is the set of all elements we are considering or dealing with in a given problem. We use a capital U or sometimes capital E to mean the universal set. Now take ANY two sets, A and B. If every single element of set A is contained in set B, we say A is a subset of B. The empty set is a subset of every set. Every set in contained in the universal set, so they are all subset of it.
If the set has n elements then it has 2n subsets.
An equivalence relation on a set is one that is transitive, reflexive and symmetric. Given a set A with n elements, the largest equivalence relation is AXA since it has n2 elements. Given any element a of the set, the smallest equivalence relation is (a,a) which has n elements.
