Over some
set S of sufficiently-large
cardinality, the
set D of subsets of
S whose complement has
cardinality strictly less than
∣S∣ is a filter. In notation, that’s:
D={X⊆S:∣S−X∣<∣S∣}
However, the similar
set
D={X⊆S:∣S−X∣=∣S∣}
is not a filter; considering
S=R we have that
(−∞,0)∈D and
(0,∞)∈D but their intersection is the empty
set which both must and must not be in
D
