Definition
A collection of sets, [ilmath]\mathcal{H} [/ilmath] is said to be hereditary if[1]:
- [ilmath]\forall A\in\mathcal{H}\forall B\in\mathcal{P}(A)[B\in\mathcal{H}][/ilmath], in words:
- for all sets [ilmath]A\in\mathcal{H} [/ilmath] all subsets of [ilmath]A[/ilmath] must be in [ilmath]\mathcal{H} [/ilmath]

- Hereditary [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring - the motivation for this definition.
