Formulation F9681 on D318: Generated sigma-algebra
F9681
Formulation 1
Let $X$ be a D11: Set such that
(i) $\mathcal{S} \subseteq \mathcal{P}(X)$ is a D3367: Subset algebra on $X$
The generated sigma-algebra on $X$ with generator $\mathcal{S}$ is the D11: Set \begin{equation} \sigma \langle \mathcal{S} \rangle : = \bigcap \{ \mathcal{F} : \mathcal{S} \subseteq \mathcal{F} \text{ and } \mathcal{F} \text{ is a sigma-algebra on } X \} \end{equation}
