Is ∅ ∈ { {∅} } true?

$begingroup$


If $ {emptyset} ∈ {emptyset,{emptyset}} $ is true, does it mean this $ emptyset in {{emptyset}} $ true ? If it is not, why it is false?



Also, does $ {{emptyset}}$ mean ${emptyset,{emptyset,{emptyset}}}$ ?

          The notation $a in A$ says that among the elements of $A$ there is one element that is exactly equal to $a.$



          The notation ${emptyset, {emptyset}}$ describes a set with exactly two elements.



          The first element is $emptyset.$ The second element is ${emptyset}.$
          Is one of those two elements exactly equal to ${emptyset}$?



          The notation ${ {emptyset}}$ describes a set with one element.
          That element is ${emptyset}.$



          Which element of ${ {emptyset}}$ do you think is exactly equal to $emptyset$?
          Hint: there's only one element you have to check.



          The notation ${emptyset, {emptyset, {emptyset}}}$ again describes a set with two elements.
          One element is $emptyset$ and the other is
          ${emptyset, {emptyset}}.$
          So this is definitely not the same thing as any set that has only one element.

                    Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                    Image
                    6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
