characteristic function


Definition Suppose A is a subset of a set X. Then thefunctionMathworldPlanetmath

χA(x)={1,when xA,0,when xXA

is the characteristic functionMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath for A.

0.0.1 Properties

Suppose A,B are subsets of a set X.

  1. 1.

    For set intersectionsDlmfMathworldPlanetmath and set unions, we have

    χAB=χAχB,
    χAB=χA+χB-χAB,
    χAB=min(χA,χB),
    χAB=max(χA,χB).
  2. 2.

    For the symmetric differenceMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath,

    χAB=χA+χB-2χAB.
  3. 3.

    For the set complementPlanetmathPlanetmath,

    χA=1-χA.

0.0.2 Remarks

A synonym for characteristic function is indicator function[1].
