2. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   A function that is injective. For example, the green relation in the diagram is an injection, but the red, blue and black ones are not. A surjection [d] A function that is surjective. For example, the green relation in the diagram is a surjection, but the red, blue and black ones are not. A bijection [d] A function that is injective and surjective.

3. Finitary relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitary_relation

   In the case where R is a binary relation, those statements are also denoted using infix notation by x 1 Rx 2. The following considerations apply: The set X i is called the i th domain of R. [1] In the case where R is a binary relation, X 1 is also called simply the domain or set of departure of R, and X 2 is also called the codomain or set of ...

4. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

   A relation R is called intransitive if it is not transitive, that is, if xRy and yRz, but not xRz, for some x, y, z. In contrast, a relation R is called antitransitive if xRy and yRz always implies that xRz does not hold. For example, the relation defined by xRy if xy is an even number is intransitive, [13] but not antitransitive. [14]

5. Linear relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_relation

   In linear algebra, a linear relation, or simply relation, between elements of a vector space or a module is a linear equation that has these elements as a solution.. More precisely, if , …, are elements of a (left) module M over a ring R (the case of a vector space over a field is a special case), a relation between , …, is a sequence (, …,) of elements of R such that

6. Comparability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparability

   Hasse diagram of the natural numbers, partially ordered by "x≤y if x divides y".The numbers 4 and 6 are incomparable, since neither divides the other. In mathematics, two elements x and y of a set P are said to be comparable with respect to a binary relation ≤ if at least one of x ≤ y or y ≤ x is true.

7. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

   If, for some notion of substructure, objects are substructures of themselves (that is, the relationship is reflexive), then the qualification proper requires the objects to be different. For example, a proper subset of a set S is a subset of S that is different from S, and a proper divisor of a number n is a divisor of n that is different from n.

8. Connected relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_relation

   A relation is a total order if and only if it is both a partial order and strongly connected. A relation is a strict total order if, and only if, it is a strict partial order and just connected. A strict total order can never be strongly connected (except on an empty domain).

9. Total relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_relation

   In mathematics, a binary relation R ⊆ X×Y between two sets X and Y is total (or left total) if the source set X equals the domain {x : there is a y with xRy}. Conversely, R is called right total if Y equals the range {y : there is an x with xRy}. When f: X → Y is a function, the domain of f is all of X, hence f is a total relation.
