  2. Transitive closure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_closure

    An example of a non-transitive relation with a less meaningful transitive closure is "x is the day of the week after y". The transitive closure of this relation is "some day x comes after a day y on the calendar", which is trivially true for all days of the week x and y (and thus equivalent to the Cartesian square , which is " x and y are both ...

  3. Kleene algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleene_algebra

    Various inequivalent definitions of Kleene algebras and related structures have been given in the literature. [5] Here we will give the definition that seems to be the most common nowadays. A Kleene algebra is a set A together with two binary operations + : A × A → A and · : A × A → A and one function * : A → A , written as a + b , ab ...

  4. Galois connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_connection

    The closure on K n is the closure in the Zariski topology, and if the field K is algebraically closed, then the closure on the polynomial ring is the radical of ideal generated by S. More generally, given a commutative ring R (not necessarily a polynomial ring), there is an antitone Galois connection between radical ideals in the ring and ...

  5. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is transitive if, for all elements a, b, c in X, whenever R relates a to b and b to c, then R also relates a to c. Every partial order and every equivalence relation is transitive. For example, less than and equality among real numbers are both transitive: If a < b and b < c then a < c; and if x ...

  6. Floyd–Warshall algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd–Warshall_algorithm

    The Floyd–Warshall algorithm is an example of dynamic programming, and was published in its currently recognized form by Robert Floyd in 1962. [3] However, it is essentially the same as algorithms previously published by Bernard Roy in 1959 [4] and also by Stephen Warshall in 1962 [5] for finding the transitive closure of a graph, [6] and is closely related to Kleene's algorithm (published ...

  7. Common knowledge (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_knowledge_(logic)

    The semantics for the common knowledge operator, then, is given by taking, for each group of agents G, the reflexive (modal axiom T) and transitive closure (modal axiom 4) of the , for all agents i in G, call such a relation , and stipulating that is true at state s iff is true at all states t such that (,).

  8. Binary relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_relation

    However, the transitive closure of a restriction is a subset of the restriction of the transitive closure, i.e., in general not equal. For example, restricting the relation " x {\displaystyle x} is parent of y {\displaystyle y} " to females yields the relation " x {\displaystyle x} is mother of the woman y {\displaystyle y} "; its transitive ...

  9. Closure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(mathematics)

    In matroid theory, the closure of X is the largest superset of X that has the same rank as X. The transitive closure of a set. [1] The algebraic closure of a field. [2] The integral closure of an integral domain in a field that contains it. The radical of an ideal in a commutative ring.
