How Do You Show Uniqueness of a Function

Note: To prove uniqueness, we can do one of the following: (i) Assume ∃x, y ∈ S such that P(x) ∧ P(y) is true and show x = y. (ii) Argue by assuming that ∃x, y ∈ S are distinct such that P(x) ∧ P(y), then derive a contradiction. To prove uniqueness and existence, we also need to show that ∃x ∈ S such that P(x) is true.

How do you prove uniqueness of a set?

To prove the uniqueness, let say there is another set C∈P(U) s.t. ∀B∈P(U)(C∪B=C). We can put B=U∖C in this equation to get C∪(U∖C)=C, therefore U=C and hence C=U=A.

How do you find the existence and uniqueness theorem?

Existence and Uniqueness Theorem. The system Ax = b has a solution if and only if rank (A) = rank(A, b). The solution is unique if and only if A is invertible.
