Description: Define the class of cosets by R : x and y are cosets by R iff there exists a set u such that both u R x and u R y hold, i.e., both x and y are are elements of the R -coset of u (see dfcoss2 and the comment of dfec2 ). R is usually a relation.
This concept simplifies theorems relating partition and equivalence: the left side of these theorems relate to R , the right side relate to ,R (see e.g. pet ). Without the definition of ,R we should have to relate the right side of these theorems to a composition of a converse (cf. dfcoss3 ) or to the range of a range Cartesian product of classes (cf. dfcoss4 ), which would make the theorems complicated and confusing. Alternate definition is dfcoss2 . Technically, we can define it via composition ( dfcoss3 ) or as the range of a range Cartesian product ( dfcoss4 ), but neither of these definitions reveal directly how the cosets by R relate to each other. We define functions ( df-funsALTV , df-funALTV ) and disjoints ( dfdisjs , dfdisjs2 , df-disjALTV , dfdisjALTV2 ) with the help of it as well. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 9-Jan-2018)
