Set Operations

Definition

Set operations are mathematical procedures applied to collections of distinct items to derive new collections. These operations include union, intersection, and difference, which are fundamental in computer science for data manipulation, database queries, and cryptographic protocols. In the digital asset space, set operations can be applied to analyze transaction data, identify common addresses across different blockchains, or perform privacy-preserving computations. Their use underpins various analytical tools and security mechanisms within distributed ledger technologies.
