Admissible set

In set theory, a discipline within mathematics, an admissible set is a transitive set A\, such that \langle A,\in \rangle is a model of Kripke-Platek set theory (Barwise 1975).

The smallest example of an admissible set is the set of hereditarily finite sets. Another example is the set of hereditarily countable sets.
