The general idea of the Cantor–Bernstein–Schroeder theorem and related results may be formulated as follows. If X is similar to a part of Y and at the same time Y is similar to a part of X then X and Y are similar. In order to be specific one should decide

  • what is meant by "a part",
  • what is meant by "similar".
