## Multisets

### Definition

A multiset is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,m\rangle$ where $m$ is a function from $A$ to the class of all cardinals (= initial ordinals). For $a\in A$ the cardinal $m(a)$ is called the multiplicity of $a$.

It is not unusual to give several (equivalent) definitions. Ideally, one of the definitions would give an irredundant axiomatization that does not refer to other classes.

##### Morphisms

Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be multisets. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that preserves multiplicity: $h(m(x))=m(h(x))$
