Similarity:

In the paper, a detailed analysis of some new logical aspects of Cantor’s diagonal proof of the uncountability of continuum is presented.

It is shown that the actualization of infinite sets and sequences used in Cantor’s proof is a , but hidden, condition of the proof. The explication of the necessary condition and its factual usage within the framework...
