ϕ ∈ P (X) be an identity element.
To prove it let E ∈ P (X) be the identity element such that
A * E = E * A = A
∀ A ∈ P (X) (A – E) ∪ (E – A) = A
⇒ E = φ i.e. (A – ϕ) ∪ (E – ϕ)) = A
A * ϕ = ϕ * A = A * A = A,
hence ϕ is the identity element.
Let Be P(X) be the inverse of A
∴ A* B = B * A = φ ∀ A e P(X)
(A – B) ∪ (B – A) = 0 ⇒ B = A
because A – B = ϕ B – A = ϕ⇒ A = B
∴ ∀ A ∈ P(X), A * A = ϕ
A is the invertible element of A
∴ A-1 = A
