Indexed family

In mathematics, an indexed family is a collection of values associated with indices. For example, a family of real numbers, indexed by the integers is a collection of real numbers, where each integer is associated with one of the real numbers. When a function f : J → X is treated as a family, J is called the index set of the family, the function image f(j) for j ∈ J is denoted xj, and the mapping f is denoted {xj}j∈J or simply {xj}. Next, if the set X is the power set of a set U, then the family {xj}j∈J is called a family of sets indexed by J .
