The theorem named for this mathematician states that the cardinality of a power set is greater than the cardinality of the original set.
The theorem named for this mathematician states that the cardinality of a power set is greater than the cardinality of the original set. The function named after him, known as the Devil's staircase and commonly used as an example of a function that is continuous but not absolutely continuous, is based on the base-3 representation of a number. That function is closely related to the set named for him, also known as his "dust", which is generated by repeatedly removing open middle thirds starting with the closed unit interval. He is credited with developing the continuum hypothesis and transfinite numbers. Name this mathematician who used a diagonalization argument to show that there are more real numbers than integers.
