I've never heard of a "defined" subset. If you have a set of numbers (they could be integers, or real, or complex, but we'll stick with integers just to make it obvious), than a "defined" subset just means that you know (can "define") a selection from that set. For example, given a set...

{6, 27, 3, 6, 11, 32}

... a defined subset can be simply {27, 11}.

There's no magic here and it's not a special term (in fact, everyone just calls that a subset I'm pretty sure you're just a tad confused because your professor/author of your textbook is using this term for no apparent reason). This question is in geometry however, so I'll take it a bit further (using simple geometry).

If you know a set is a region within the square of width times height, you can say that a defined sub-set of the are of the square is the lower-right triangle portion, which would be width times height divided by two (again, super simple example of a potentially area subset... not trying to offend).

If, however, you're talking about a "proper subset", that's something different entirely and I would erase this answer in an instant to explain.

Basically, your question is unclear.

How do you refine a subset?

If a subset is defined by enumeration, you could remove "duplicate" entries. If defined by some generating function you might be able to simplify the function.

What is a subset of records?

a subset is a group that is contained within the other group. So the set of letters {a, b} is a subset of {a, b, c} It is also worth noting that {a, b} is also a subset of itself {a, b}. In set arithmatic a subset I believe is defined like this: set1 is a subset of set2 if set1 + set2 = set2. {a, b} + {a, b, c} = {a, b, c}

What are the ASCII codes for subset and proper subset?

Since ASCII ⊊ unicode, I don't know if there are ASCII codes for subset and proper subset. There are Unicode characters for subset and proper subset though: Subset: ⊂, ⊂, ⊂ Subset (or equal): ⊆, ⊆, ⊆ Proper subset: ⊊, ⊊,


What is an interval in math term?

An interval is a subset of an order-numbered set; the interval includes a highest- numbered member of the subset and a lowest-numbered member of the subset and all members of the set with order numbers with values between that of the highest- and lowest-numbered members. This is more exactly called a "closed interval". An "open interval" is defined in the same way, except that the lowest-numbered and highest-numbered limits are not part of the subset.


Why can a proper subset be a subset of itself?

Because every set is a subset of itself. A proper subset cannot, however, be a proper subset of itself.
