yes, if the set being described is empty, we can talk about proper and improper subsets. there are no proper subsets of the empty set. the only subset of the empty set is the empty set itself. to be a proper subset, the subset must be strictly contained. so the empty set is an improper subset of itself, but it is a proper subset of every other set.
The empty element is a subset of any set--the empty set is even a subset of itself. But it is not an element of every set; in particular, the empty set cannot be an element of itself because the empty set has no elements.
The empty set!
The set {1, 3} is a proper subset of {1, 2, 3}.The set {a, b, c, d, e} is a proper subset of the set that contains all the letters in the alphabet.All subsets of a given set are proper subsets, except for the set itself. (Every set is a subset of itself, but not a proper subset.) The empty set is a proper subset of any non-empty set.This sounds like a school question. To answer it, first make up any set you like. Then, as examples of proper subsets, make sets that contain some, but not all, of the members of your original set.
Yes.
Every set contains the empty set. Every set is a subset of itself.
No. The empty is the a subset of every set and every set is a subset of itself.
Because every set is a subset of itself. A proper subset cannot, however, be a proper subset of itself.
Yes,an empty set is the subset of every set. The subset of an empty set is only an empty set itself.
The null set. Every set is a subset of itself and so the null set is a subset of the null set.
The real numbers, themselves. Every set is a subset of itself.
Any set has the empty set as subset A is a subset of B if each element of A is an element of B For the empty set ∅ the vacuum property holds For every element of ∅ whatever property holds, also being element of an arbitrary set B, therefore ∅ is a subset of any set, even itself ∅ has an unique subset: itself
Yes. One of the subsets is the set itself. The other is the null set.

A set "A" is said to be a subset of of set "B", if every element in set "A" is also an element of set "B". If "A" is a subset of "B" and the sets are not equal, "A" is said to be a proper subset of "B". For example: the set of natural numbers is a subset of itself. The set of square numbers is a subset (and also a proper subset) of the set of natural numbers.
NO- by definition a set is not a proper subset of itself . ( It is a subset, but not a proper one. )
The empty element is a subset of any set--the empty set is even a subset of itself. But it is not an element of every set; in particular, the empty set cannot be an element of itself because the empty set has no elements.
