For a real vector I know we write a=(a_1,a_2,a_3) in RR^3, which means a_1 in RR, a^2 in RR and a_3 in RR. Suppose instead I have a vector b=(b_1,b_2,b_3) where b_1, b_2 and b_3 only takes the values 0 or 1. What is the correct notation for this?

For a real vector I know we write a = ( a 1 , a 2 , a 3 ) R 3 , which means a 1 R , a 2 R and a 3 R
Suppose instead I have a vector b = ( b 1 , b 2 , b 3 ) where b 1 , b 2 and b 3 only takes the values 0 or 1. What is the correct notation for this?

Short Answer
( b 1 , b 2 , b 3 ) { 0 , 1 } 3
Description
For a smaller case of only one element, we write b { 0 , 1 }. For a two-element case, we can then write
( b 1 , b 2 ) { 0 , 1 } × { 0 , 1 } { 0 , 1 } 2
And likewise we get for the three-element case
( b 1 , b 2 , b 3 ) { 0 , 1 } × { 0 , 1 } × { 0 , 1 } { 0 , 1 } 3
Hope this helps
