How to find a Complete and Independent System of Representatives?

89 Views Asked by At

We have the following equivalence relation:

$$x\,p\,y\iff x-y\in\Bbb C$$

Find a Complete and Independent System of Representatives (CISR). Let $S$ be the CISR.

What I know: $S\subseteq\Bbb C$ and $S$ is:

  • Complete: $\forall x \in\Bbb C, x\,p\, X$ for some $X \in S$. (Every element of $\Bbb C$ has a class representative)
  • Independent: $Y\, \lnot p\, Z$ if $Y,Z \in S$. (There are no equivalent classes in $S$)

How should I find $S$?
