von Neumann ordinal


The is a method of defining ordinalsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath in set theoryMathworldPlanetmath.

The von Neumann ordinal α is defined to be the well-ordered set containing the von Neumann ordinals which precede α. The set of finite von Neumann ordinals is known as the von Neumann integers. Every well-ordered set is isomorphic to a von Neumann ordinal.

They can be constructed by transfinite recursion as follows:

  • The empty setMathworldPlanetmath is 0.

  • Given any ordinal α, the ordinal α+1 (the successorMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of α) is defined to be α{α}.

  • Given a set A of ordinals, aAa is an ordinal.

If an ordinal is the successor of another ordinal, it is an successor ordinal. If an ordinal is neither 0 nor a successor ordinal then it is a limit ordinal. The first limit ordinal is named ω.

The class of ordinals is denoted 𝐎𝐧.

The von Neumann ordinals have the convenient property that if a<b then ab and ab.
