For Dedekind cuts α, β > $0^*$, I need show that α ⊘ β := {p ∈ Q | p · s < r for some r ∈ α, s ∈ $β^c$ such that r,s > 0 and s not the lowest element.
I know the properties of Dedekind Cuts are:
- α is non-empty (and a proper subset);
- if p ∈ α and q < p, then q ∈ α;
- α has no largest element, i.e. q ∈ α such that p ≤ q for all p ∈ α.
I was able to prove the first 2 properties but not the third.
How can I start?
