Homework Statement
Let Ts denote the set of points in the x; y plane lying on the square whose
vertices are (-s; s), (s; s), (s;-s), (-s;-s), but not interior to the square. For
example, T1 consists of the vertices (-1; 1), (1; 1), (1;-1), (-1;-1) and the
four line segments joining them. Let
S = union of Ts, where s is an element of positive real numbers
Determine a set J, that is not de ned in terms of unions, that equals S. Prove
that S and J are equal.
Please help. I have no idea how to start that problem. What I figure out is that J=AuBuCuD, where set A={ (x,y)| (x,y)=(s,y), for -s≤y≤s} B={(x,y)| (x,y)=(-s,y), for -s≤y≤s}, C={(x,y)| (x,y)=(x,s), for -s≤x≤s}, D={(x,y)| (x,y)=(x,-s), for -s≤x≤s}
I do not know how to write down set S in different form and how to prove that J=S
