let \(\displaystyle R\subseteq \mathds{N}^{\mathds{N}}\times\mathds{N}^{\mathds{N}} \)the following relation:
R={(f,g):each  i  satisfies  f(i)<=g(i)}\displaystyle R=\{(f,g): each\; i \;satisfies\; f(i)<=g(i)\}


for each\(\displaystyle i\in\mathds{N}\) let\(\displaystyle \mathds{N}_{i}\subseteq\mathds{N} \) be the following group:
\(\displaystyle \mathds{N}_{i}=\{0,1,...,i\}\)
and let \(\displaystyle R_{i}=R\cap(\mathds{N}_{i}^{\mathds{N}}x\mathds{N}_{i}^{\mathds{N}})\)

What is the Cardinality ofR0\displaystyle R_{0} and R1\displaystyle R_{1}?

prove\disprove:
a. for each \(\displaystyle i<=j\;\; R_{i}\circR_{j}=R_{j}\)
b. for each \(\displaystyle i<=j \;\;R_{j}\circR_{i}=R_{i}\)

There are some LaTeX errors is the post.

Note that N0={0}\displaystyle N_0=\{0\} so the cardinality (N0)N=1\displaystyle \|(N_0)^N\|=1 WHY?

What does (N1)N= ?\displaystyle \|(N_1)^N\|=~?
 
Well I guess that the cardinality of (N1)N\displaystyle \|(N_1)^N\| is aleph null

I still don't know what to try and prove with this assignment.
I would appreciate if someone with more knowledge will give me the final answers and I will go and try proving it from there :)
 
So i'm almost done with this question.

The only thing I still can't figure out is how to prove that R_1 is not countable. I think I have to prove that R_1 cardinality equals P(N) but I am baffled how to formally prove it.

I've tried finding some injective functions and playing with it but didn't really manage.

I'll appreciate some help :)

Do you understand that 2N\displaystyle 2^{\mathbb{N}} is uncountable?
You can use the characteristic function on all subsets.
 
How does the cardinality of 2^N help me prove that the cardinality of R_1 is P(N)? I don't see how they are related.

For each g2N\displaystyle g\in 2^N you know that (g,g)R1\displaystyle (g,g)\in R_1.

Thus 2NR1\displaystyle |2^N|\le |R_1|.

By definition R12N×2N\displaystyle R_1\subseteq 2^N\times 2^N

Therefore 2NR12N×2N=2N\displaystyle |2^N|\le |R_1|\le |2^N\times 2^N|=|2^N|.

DONE!
