If n1=|X| and n2=|Y|, their power sets will be P(X) and P(Y).
The number of elements in P(X)=|P(X)|=2ⁿ¹ and similarly |P(Y)|=2ⁿ².
So if n1≤n2 then 2ⁿ¹≤2ⁿ². However, this requires the sets to be finite, that is, n1 and n2 can be defined.
EXAMPLE
If Y is the set of all natural numbers up to 100 and X is the set of odd natural numbers up to 100, and the injective function F(x)=(x+1)/2 maps x∈X to y∈Y, then X={1,3,5,...,99}, n1=50, and Y={1,2,3,...,100), n2=100. In this example, Y contains all the elements of X (X⊂Y) plus {51,52,53,...100}. Since n1 and n2 are finite numbers, so are |P(X)|=2⁵⁰ and |P(Y)|=2¹⁰⁰. The upper limit of 100 was arbitrary, so whatever the limit, |P(X)|<|P(Y)|. We conclude that, if Y is the set of all natural numbers, X is the set of odd natural numbers, and F(x)=(x+1)/2 maps X to Y, then |P(X)|<|P(Y)|.
In general we can say that for any injective function F, Y will consist of the sum of two sets A and B, where A={F(x), ∀x∈X} and B is the set of unmapped elements of Y. When B={}, |P(X)|=|P(Y)|, even when X and Y are infinite sets.
