If you have a set S, the only improper subset of S is S itself. An improper subset contains all elements of S and no others. It is therefore equivalent to S.
For example if S ={1,2,3} then the improper subset is {1,2,3}, and an example proper subset is {1,2}.

An improper subset is a subset that includes all the elements of the original set, as well as the set itself. For example, if we have the set A = {1, 2, 3}, then the set A itself is an improper subset of A because it contains all the elements of A. In set notation, we can write this as A ⊆ A.
There is no difference between improper subset and equal sets. If A is an improper subset of B then A = B. For this reason, the term "improper subset" is rarely used.
A proper subset B of a set A is a set all of whose elements are elements of A nad there are elements of A that are not elements of B. It follows, then, that an improper subset must be the whole set, A. That is, A is an improper subset of A
no
Recall that Improper subset of A is the set that contains all and only elements of A. Namely A. So does the empty set have all of A provided A is not empty? Of course not! The empty set can be only considered an improper subset of itself.
